How it works
Metrogyl-M Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Mupirocin and Metronidazole. Mupirocin stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Metronidazole kills the bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections by damaging the DNA. Together, they eradicate your infection effectively.
