I have diarrhea with a lot of gas and cramping. Is Capagyl F 100mg/400mg/50mg Tablet a good option for me?

Affirmative, Capagyl F 100mg/400mg/50mg Tablet is specifically formulated for situations like yours.

While individual results can vary, you may start to notice a reduction in diarrhea and bloating within a day or two of starting Capagyl F 100mg/400mg/50mg Tablet treatment. However, it is very important to complete the full course of medicine as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is completely cleared, even if you feel better sooner.

I have heard some antibiotics can leave a bad taste in your mouth. Does Capagyl F 100mg/400mg/50mg Tablet also cause the same?

Affirmative, it is a common and harmless side effect of the metronidazole antibiotic present in Capagyl F 100mg/400mg/50mg Tablet to cause a temporary, unpleasant, metallic taste in your mouth. This taste should go away after you finish the full course of your oral medicine.

Affirmative, because Capagyl F 100mg/400mg/50mg Tablet contains furazolidone, you must avoid eating foods that are high in tyramine.

Eating these foods while taking this medicine can cause a sudden and dangerous increase in your blood pressure.

My urine has turned a brownish color after taking Capagyl F 100mg/400mg/50mg Tablet. Should I be concerned?
