Hello
Nausea,vomiting,diarrhoea,headache,metallic taste in mouth etc are common with the use of metrogyl.
Once the medicine is stopped,these side effecs go away in few days.
Just don't worry and continue your course of medicine.
You may take some proton pump inhibitor like PANTOPROZOLE 40 mg to take care of nausea and vomiting.Take it empty stomach in morning.
Thanks
hello farzad,
you should take antacid with nor metro but sometimes it happens due to GIT infection. this will subside with in 2-3 days ,avoid till heavy food and drink plenty of water.
