Metodine DF Tablets contain Metronidazole 400mg and Diloxanide Furoate 500mg. This combination medicine is commonly prescribed to treat amoebiasis (an infection caused by parasites), giardiasis, and certain bacterial infections.

How Metodine DF Tablets Work
Metodine DF contains two medicines that work in different ways.
Metronidazole
Metronidazole kills parasites and certain bacteria by stopping them from growing and multiplying.
Diloxanide Furoate
Diloxanide Furoate works inside the intestine. It removes parasite cysts (a protective form of the parasite that can survive in the body and cause the infection to return).
Together, these medicines treat the active infection and help reduce the risk of another infection.

Take Metodine DF Tablets exactly as your doctor prescribes.
The usual adult dose is:
- One tablet three times a day
- Treatment usually lasts 5 to 10 days
The dose may be different depending on your condition.
For children, the doctor will decide the correct dose based on age and body weight.
For the best results:
