Introduction
Stomach and intestinal infections can be uncomfortable, painful, and disruptive to daily life. Symptoms like diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting are common signs of infections caused by bacteria or parasites. MB-DIAR, a combination medicine containing Metronidazole and Furazolidone, is commonly prescribed to treat such infections effectively.
MB-DIAR works by attacking harmful microorganisms in the digestive system, helping the body recover faster. Because it contains two powerful antimicrobial agents, it is especially useful for treating mixed infections where more than one type of germ is involved.
What Is MB-DIAR?
MB-DIAR is a combination medication used mainly to treat intestinal infections. It contains two active ingredients: Metronidazole and Furazolidone
Both medicines work together to kill bacteria and parasites that cause stomach and intestinal problems. This combination makes MB-DIAR more effective than using a single medicine alone in many digestive infections.
