How it works
Aristogyl -F Tablet is a combination of Furazolidone, Metronidazole, and Simethicone.
Furazolidone works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall that is essential for the survival of bacteria in your body. Metronidazole kills bacteria and protozoa by damaging their DNA. Simethicone reduces excessive gas in the stomach and relieves symptoms such as stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, and flatulence (accumulation of gas in the stomach). Therefore, this combination treats your infection effectively.
