Unimegyl 400 mg Tablet

Unimegyl 400 mg Tablet is an oral antibiotic containing 400 mg of metronidazole in each tablet. It belongs to the nitroimidazole class and is used to treat certain bacterial and parasitic infections. Doctors may prescribe Unimegyl 400 mg Tablet for infections in the abdomen, reproductive tract, mouth, skin, or other areas where metronidazole is appropriate. Because this is a 400 mg strength, it is chosen when a prescriber wants a tablet dose that fits a specific treatment schedule.

How it works: Metronidazole works by entering susceptible microbes and damaging their DNA, which stops them from growing and helps clear the infection. As a tablet, Unimegyl 400 mg Tablet delivers the medicine by mouth so it can be absorbed and work throughout the body.

Unimegyl 400 mg Tablet is a mid-to-higher tablet strength that can help fit adult dosing plans with fewer tablets than lower-strength products. It is not a “starter” dose for every patient; a clinician chooses this strength based on the infection being treated, the patient’s age, and the full dosing plan.
