Pairs with emergency drainage
We prescribe it after draining periodontal or pericoronal abscesses to stop anaerobic regrowth while definitive therapy is scheduled.
Anaerobic infection control
Metrogyl 400 for gum abscess & halitosis
Metrogyl 400 (metronidazole) targets anaerobic bacteria responsible for foul breath, gum abscesses and spreading dental infections. We prescribe it alongside mechanical cleaning and Augmentin to halt deep periodontal spread.

Where Metrogyl 400 fits in
Often combined with Augmentin
Metrogyl covers anaerobes while Augmentin targets aerobic bacteria, giving broader protection for complex infections.
We log every dose
Patients receive SMS/email reminders and must confirm intake, enabling us to adjust therapy if side effects appear.

Can I stop Metrogyl once pain reduces?
No. Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve to avoid resistant bacteria. Call us before making any changes.
What side effects should I watch for?
Mild metallic taste, nausea or loose stools can occur. Report severe dizziness, numbness or rash immediately for evaluation.
Is it safe to take with alcohol?
Avoid alcohol during treatment and for 48 hours after finishing Metrogyl—it can trigger severe nausea and palpitations.
