[|Human|] hi i have been prescribed metrogyl 400 for a parasite i caught in mexico. i was told to take 2 three times a day however could not tolerate this. so today was put back to 1 tablet 3 times a day. i weigh 53kg. do you thinhk this dosage will cure my parasite?
[|AI|]  Hellos you stated that you got PARASITIC infection in Mexico, so advised 800 mg metronidazole three times in day. Most probably you are feeling nausea, dizziness, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, metallic taste in mouth, as these are common side effect. So when such situation arise I prescribe pantoprazole -D two times in day with metronidazole as this will subside these side effects of metronidazole.Also, antacid help in this case. Take this dosage after meal. In my opinion the optimum dosage is important. If you take reduced dosage at your own will then resistance may develop (for parasitic infection). So get full advised dosages or consult your treating doctor and get his opinion. Hope this will help you.
