How METROGYL GEL 2% Works
Metronidazole enters susceptible microorganisms and is converted into active metabolites that damage microbial DNA, inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis and leading to the elimination of susceptible anaerobic bacteria. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties when applied topically.
