Indications & Uses
Ametrol is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Metronidazole is converted into reduced by-products that interact with DNA, breaking down its helical structure and strands; this blocks protein synthesis and kills susceptible organisms. It works against most anaerobic protozoa and some gram-positive, gram-negative, and facultative anaerobic bacteria. Miconazole blocks the synthesis of ergosterol, damaging the fungal cell membrane and making it more permeable, which causes essential nutrients to leak out.
