Is Metrogyl Effective For Loose Motion?

I am 30 yr old male, weighing 75kgs with no continuous or prolonged health issues.Since this morning I have loose motions, and I have been to the toilet for around 4 times and they are very watery. I am having some stomach pains as well.I have taken 1 tab of Metrogyl 400, and taking ORS continuously.Please suggest if I can have another Metrogyl during the day?

Hi,
These kind of multiple watery loose stools could be of gram negative infection along with anerobes . So in my opinion
1) maintain hygiene ( take clean well cooked fresh food, clean water, properly washed fresh fruits....etc)
2) drink plenty of fluids with ORS (Mix one packet in one litre of water )
3) have carbohydrates rich diet .
4) Take Tab ofloxacine 400mg twice a day for a week( for gm -)
5) Tab metronidazole 400mg thrice a day for a week(for anearobe)
6) take probiotic in diet .
You may have loose stools for2-3 days after starting the treatment but complete course of medicine prescribed to cure and avoid recurrance .If the symptom persists or aggravates then consult general physician

HOPE THIS WILL HELP

THANKS N REGARDS
