How it works
Metrogyl DG Forte Gel is a combination of two medicines: Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Metronidazole. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic and disinfectant. It works by binding to the surface of teeth, inner cheeks and gums. This kills the infectious microorganisms that cause gum disease, tartar and other mouth infections. Metronidazole is an antibiotic which kills bacteria and other infectious microorganisms by damaging the DNA.
Quick Tips
Metrogyl DG Forte Gel is given for the treatment of mouth infection and its associated symptoms such as ulcers and swelling in the gums. Avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth just after using this medication. Do not use Metrogyl DG Forte Gel if you have deep oral ulcers or throat infections. Stop using this medicine and inform your doctor if any irritation occurs. If symptoms persist for more than seven days, consult your doctor. Along with using Metrogyl DG Forte Gel maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice daily with a soft bristle brush. Have regular dental checkups at intervals recommended by your dentist (this is normally at least once a year).
