pharmachologic effect
Antimicrobial drug for the treatment and prevention of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity. Metronidazole is a nitroimidazole derivative that has antiprotozoal and antibacterial effects. The mechanism of action of metronidazole is the biochemical reduction of its 5-nitro group by intracellular transport proteins of anaerobic microorganisms and protozoa. The reduced 5-nitro group of metronidazole interacts with DNA in microbial cells, inhibiting synthesis from nucleic acids, which leads to the death of bacteria. The MIC50 of metronidazole is less than 1 μg/ml. Metronidazole Denta is active against anaerobic protozoa and bacteria that cause periodontitis: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella denticola, Fusobacterium fusiformis, Wolinella recta, Treponema spp., Eikenella corrodens, Borrelia vincenti, Bacteroides melaninogenicus, Selenomonas spp.

special instructions
When applied topically, the concentration of metronidazole in the gum area is significantly higher than when metronidazole is taken orally, so prescribing Metronidazole Dent along with oral metronidazole allows you to reduce its dose and thereby minimize the risk of side effects. Avoid contact of the drug with the eyes. During the period of use of Metronidazole Denta, you should not drink alcohol, because... Metronidazole has the ability to cause disulfiram-like reactions.
Overdose:
Currently, no cases of overdose of Metronidazole Denta have been reported.
Drug interactions
When the drug is used topically, interaction with other drugs is minimal, but the possibility of such reactions cannot be completely excluded. The possibility of the following drug interactions should be considered. With simultaneous use, metronidazole enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants. When metronidazole is used in combination with disulfiram, the toxicity of both drugs increases.
Pharmacokinetic interaction
Phenobarbital and phenytoin increase the metabolism of metronidazole, which leads to a decrease in its effect. Cimetidine inhibits the metabolism of metronidazole, which may lead to increased metronidazole serum concentrations.
Storage conditions
Store at room temperature, protected from light and out of reach of children.
Conditions for dispensing from pharmacies
Dispensed with a doctor's prescription.
Application benefits
Despite the rather low concentration of active substances and the lack of analgesic effect, Metrogyl Denta gel has a number of advantages over more modern drugs used in medicine, for example:
