Medicine information
Uses & overview
Rifaximin 200 mg + Metronidazole 400 mg Tablets combine two antimicrobial medicines that work against different susceptible microorganisms. Rifaximin acts primarily within the intestine because relatively little of the medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream. Metronidazole is active against certain anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. A doctor may prescribe this combination for selected gastrointestinal infections when both medicines are considered appropriate for the diagnosed condition. The intended benefits depend on the cause of the infection, the patient's medical history, and the prescribed treatment plan. This combination should not be used routinely for every episode of diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, or suspected intestinal infection. Unnecessary antimicrobial use may cause side effects and contribute to antimicrobial resistance. If you are searching for Rifaximin 200 mg + Metronidazole 400 mg tablets online in India, check the product composition, brand name, manufacturer, expiry date, pack size, and prescription requirements before purchasing. Customers in Jaipur and other Indian cities should choose a reputable, licensed pharmacy and confirm delivery availability for their location. Take this medicine only under medical supervision and complete the prescribed course as directed. Inform your doctor about allergies, liver or kidney problems, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other medicines you take. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or you develop severe abdominal pain, blood in your stool, persistent vomiting, or signs of dehydration.
How to use
Follow the prescribed dose: Take the exact number of tablets and doses recommended by your doctor. Do not increase the dose or use the medicine for another illness. Follow administration instructions: Take the tablets with water and follow your doctor's or product leaflet's instructions regarding food. Swallow tablets as directed: Do not crush or split tablets unless the product instructions or your healthcare professional specifically permit it. Complete the prescribed course: Continue treatment for the recommended duration. Do not stop early or extend treatment without medical advice. Manage missed doses carefully: Take a missed dose when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Follow the leaflet or ask your pharmacist, and never double the next dose. Avoid alcohol: Metronidazole may interact with alcohol and cause unpleasant reactions. Avoid alcoholic drinks and alcohol-containing products during treatment and for at least 48 hours after the final dose, or longer if the product leaflet advises. Check other medicines: Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you use, particularly warfarin, lithium, and other medicines that may interact with metronidazole. Monitor side effects: Nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, and a metallic taste may occur. Seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or persistent. Stay hydrated: Drink adequate fluids if you have diarrhoea, unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction. Seek medical attention when needed: Contact your doctor if symptoms worsen or you develop blood in your stool, severe abdominal pain, or significant dehydration.
