How Metromed Products work

Furazolidone + Metronidazole is a combination of two antibiotics: Furazolidone + Metronidazole1 and Furazolidone + Metronidazole2, which treats stomach and intestine infections. Furazolidone + Metronidazole1 works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body.
