How to use Kumagyl Tablet

How Kumagyl Tablet works

Kumagyl Forte Tablet is a combination of three medicines: metronidazole, diloxanide, and simethicone. Metronidazole and diloxanide act against intestinal parasites and bacteria that cause infection, helping clear the infection from the gut. Simethicone helps break down gas bubbles in the intestines, relieving bloating and abdominal discomfort associated with diarrhea.

Quick tips

Diarrhea can cause water loss and electrolyte imbalance. Drink plenty of fluids especially ORS (oral rehydration solution) to help keep you hydrated.
Stick to simple meals and avoid spicy rich food in order to avoid feeling sick (nausea).
Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
Do not drink alcohol while taking and till 4 days after taking this medication. This is because drinking alcohol with Kumagyl Forte Tablet is likely to make you feel very sick (nauseated) and cause other unpleasant effects, such as hot flushes, headaches, and palpitations (fast heartbeat).
Consult your doctor if your diarrhea lasts for more than 48 hours.
