Metodine DF 90ml Syrup - Diloxanide Furoate Plus Metronidazole for Amoebic Infections

Metodine DF 90ml Syrup by IBL Operation (Searle) is a dual-action antiamoebic combination of Diloxanide Furoate and Metronidazole used to treat intestinal amoebiasis, amoebic dysentery, and luminal cyst infections. This is a prescription required medicine that targets both the active trophozoite and the dormant cyst form of Entamoeba histolytica for complete eradication.

Metronidazole kills active trophozoites in tissue and provides quick symptom relief, while Diloxanide Furoate clears residual luminal cysts to prevent relapse and onward transmission. The syrup form is ideal for children and adults who cannot swallow tablets.

Key Benefits

• Dual action against both active and cyst forms of amoeba
• Effective for intestinal amoebiasis and amoebic dysentery
• Reduces diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and tenesmus quickly
• Prevents relapse by clearing luminal cysts
• Palatable syrup suitable for pediatric use

How to Use

Shake the bottle well before each dose. Use the measuring device provided to give the exact dose prescribed by your doctor, usually three times daily for the full prescribed course. Complete the entire course even if symptoms improve early. Avoid all alcohol and alcohol-containing products during treatment and for at least 48 hours after the last dose - metronidazole causes a severe disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol.

Safety Information

Report nausea, metallic taste, headache, or dark urine to your physician. Do not use in the first trimester of pregnancy unless advised. Maintain hydration during diarrhea and seek medical advice for high fever or blood in stool. Browse our digestive care medicines collection or see the Searle Pakistan product range.
