Description

METROGYL M OINTMENT 5 MG by J B CHEMICALS AND PHARMACEUTICALS LTD is a topical antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial skin infections.

  • Name
    • Brand Name: METROGYL M OINTMENT 5 MG
  • Composition
    • METROGYL M OINTMENT contains a combination of two active antibiotic ingredients: Metronidazole (2% w/w) and Mupirocin (2% w/w). Metronidazole works by damaging bacterial DNA, leading to cell death, and is effective against anaerobic bacteria. Mupirocin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, thus preventing bacterial growth.
  • Uses METROGYL M OINTMENT is primarily prescribed for the management of various bacterial skin infections, including:
    • Impetigo, a contagious skin infection causing sores and blisters.
    • Infected skin ulcers and wounds.
    • Inflammatory lesions associated with rosacea, a chronic skin condition.
  • Dosage and Administration METROGYL M OINTMENT is for external use only.
    • Clean and dry the affected skin area thoroughly before application.
    • Apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected area using clean, dry hands, as directed by a healthcare professional.
    • Wash hands immediately after applying the ointment to prevent the spread of infection.
    • The duration and frequency of application will be determined by your doctor based on the infection's severity. Consistent use for the full prescribed course is crucial for optimal effectiveness.
  • Side Effects Common side effects may include:
    • Application site reactions such as burning, irritation, redness, stinging, or itching.
    • Dry skin. Serious side effects are rare, but seek immediate medical attention if signs of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) or inflammation of the colon (e.g., diarrhea with blood/mucus, stomach pain) occur.
  • Precautions
    • Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and vagina; rinse thoroughly with water in case of accidental contact.
    • Do not apply to sunburns, open wounds, blisters, or widespread lesions unless specifically advised by a doctor.
    • Inform your doctor if you have a known allergy to metronidazole, mupirocin, or any other ingredients.
    • Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
    • Caution is advised when using in children and elderly patients; use only if prescribed by a pediatrician for children.
  • Storage
    • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
    • Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
    • Maintain storage temperatures below 25°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is METROGYL M OINTMENT used for?

METROGYL M OINTMENT is primarily used to treat various bacterial skin infections. It is effective in managing conditions such as impetigo (a contagious skin infection), infected skin ulcers and wounds, and inflammatory lesions associated with rosacea, a chronic skin condition. It can also be used for bacterial vaginal infections in some contexts.

How does METROGYL M OINTMENT work?

METROGYL M OINTMENT contains two active ingredients: Metronidazole and Mupirocin. Metronidazole works by penetrating bacterial cells and damaging their DNA, which leads to cell death. It is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria. Mupirocin is another antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to a specific enzyme in bacteria, effectively stopping bacterial growth and spread of infection. The metronidazole component also provides anti-inflammatory benefits, especially in cases of rosacea.

What is the usual dosage for METROGYL M OINTMENT?

The usual dosage involves applying a thin layer of the ointment to the affected skin area. It is typically applied once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Some sources suggest application two to three times daily. Always follow your doctor's instructions for the correct dosage and duration of treatment. Clean and dry the affected area before application and wash your hands thoroughly after use.

What are the possible side effects of METROGYL M OINTMENT?

Common side effects at the application site include burning, irritation, redness, dryness, stinging, or itching. These are usually temporary and often resolve on their own. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, hives, or swelling. In some cases, nerve problems like numbness, tingling, or burning pain in the hands or feet may occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should consult your doctor immediately.

Is METROGYL M OINTMENT safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Caution is advised when using METROGYL M OINTMENT during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It should only be used if clearly needed and under the supervision of a healthcare provider. While topical metronidazole is generally considered safe during pregnancy and probably safe during breastfeeding due to minimal systemic absorption, it is recommended to consult your doctor before use. If breastfeeding, avoid applying the ointment on the chest area to prevent accidental transfer to the baby and wash your hands thoroughly after application.

Can METROGYL M OINTMENT be taken with other medications?

When METROGYL M OINTMENT is applied topically, significant drug interactions are less likely due to minimal absorption into the bloodstream compared to oral metronidazole. However, concurrent application with other topical medications, such as tretinoin, may lead to increased skin irritation and dryness. The use of systemic corticosteroids like prednisone may increase the risk of side effects such as skin thinning. Topical antifungals like ketoconazole might also interact, potentially altering medication effects. Always inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, you are currently using.

What precautions should be taken while using METROGYL M OINTMENT?

Avoid contact of the ointment with your eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water. Do not apply the ointment to sunburns, lesions, blisters, or open wounds unless specifically advised by your doctor. If you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to metronidazole or mupirocin, you should avoid using this ointment and consult your doctor. Do not scratch the affected area, as this can worsen or spread the infection.

What happens if a dose of METROGYL M OINTMENT is missed?

If you miss a dose of METROGYL M OINTMENT, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular application schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.

How should METROGYL M OINTMENT be stored?

METROGYL M OINTMENT should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. The ideal storage temperature is room temperature, typically between 20-25°C. Keep the ointment in its original packaging and ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent it from drying out. Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children and pets.
