Metaus DG gel 20 g

Metaus DG gel 20 g is a metronidazole gel in a 20 g tube made by Care Formulation Labs Pvt. Ltd. Metronidazole is an antimicrobial medicine that works against certain germs that can cause infections. In gel form, Metaus DG gel 20 g is applied to the affected area as directed by a clinician, rather than taken by mouth. It is commonly used for skin or local infections where metronidazole is appropriate.

How it works: Metronidazole enters susceptible germs and disrupts the way they make and repair DNA, which helps stop the infection from growing. In gel form, it delivers the medicine directly where it is applied, helping treat the affected area with less whole-body exposure than an oral medicine.

Each tube of Metaus DG gel contains 20 g of gel, so this is a tube size suited for short courses or localized treatment areas when a doctor wants a topical gel form. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, Metaus DG gel 20 g is used as the single available presentation, and the prescriber decides how much to apply based on the condition being treated. A larger tube size does not mean a stronger dose per application; it mainly affects how much product is available for the full treatment course.

• Local skin infections caused by susceptible organisms
• Doctor-directed treatment of metronidazole-responsive conditions
• Topical therapy for affected areas needing direct application

• Apply Metaus DG gel 20 g exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Clean and dry the affected area before each application.
• Use a thin layer of the gel unless your clinician tells you otherwise.
• Wash your hands before and after applying the gel, unless the hands are the treated area.
• Do not use more often or on larger areas than prescribed, even if symptoms persist.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and inside of the nose unless specifically instructed.

This product provides 20 g of gel per tube, and the amount used from the tube depends on the area being treated. How often Metaus DG gel 20 g is applied and how long you use it are determined by your doctor; there is no universal maximum daily amount because topical dosing is individualized. Use only the amount your clinician prescribes, since overuse can raise the chance of irritation without improving results.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
