Can I Take Metrogyl 400 Thrice A Day?
My family physician has recommended metrogyl 400 for intestine infection caused by food or water three times a day for five days. I have taken this drug before and could tolerate without problem. But at that time the dose recommended was twice a day. Advice please.

Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
The actual dose of Metrogyl is 400 mg thrice a day for Gastroenteritis.
You can take it 3 times a day.
Just observe following:
1. It can cause metallic taste in mouth.
2. Don't consume alcohol with this medicine in case you take alcohol.
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
