Indications:
Amoebic dysentery Giardiasis, Trichomoniasis, Vincents infection, Periodontal infection, Several dental infections
Amoebic dysentery Giardiasis, Trichomoniasis, Vincents infection, Periodontal infection, Several dental infections
Mode of Action:
Metronidazole is converted to reactive metabolites by the redox enzyme pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase. The nitro group of metronidazole is chemically reduced by ferredoxin (or a ferredoxin-linked metabolic process) to a reactive intermediate which causes the loss of helical structure of DNA, strand breakage and impairment of DNA function. So, nucleic acid synthesis is inhibited. Thus, causes the cell death of Bacter
