Product Details

Metodine DF Suspension 90ml contains a combination of Diloxanide furoate and Metronidazole, two active ingredients that work synergistically to treat bacterial and parasitic infections. This suspension is particularly effective against infections caused by Entamoeba histolytica, a parasite responsible for amoebiasis. It inhibits the parasite's energy production and destroys bacteria, promoting quick recovery from gastrointestinal issues.

Purposes

The primary purpose of Metodine DF Suspension 90ml is to treat a range of infections such as acute and chronic amoebiasis, hepatic amoebiasis, and giardiasis. It is also used to manage systemic diseases caused by E. histolytica. This suspension helps relieve symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and other discomforts associated with parasitic infections.
