15 tablets
Diracip MDS tablets contain Metronidazole 200mg and Diloxanide Furoate 500mg, medicines that work together against certain intestinal infections.
They are mainly used to treat amoebiasis and other susceptible intestinal infections, helping clear the infection and relieve diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort.
Take exactly as prescribed and complete the full course; avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 48 hours after the last dose.
One tablet three times daily, giving five days from this pack of fifteen, or exactly as your prescriber directs; longer courses are common for amoebiasis and may need more than one pack. Take each tablet after food with a full glass of water to reduce nausea and the metallic taste, and swallow whole. Space the doses evenly. Confirm at the counter how many packs your prescribed course requires, because running out on the last two days of an amoebiasis course is what leaves cyst carriage untreated.
No alcohol during the course or for at least 48 hours after the last tablet, including alcohol-containing tonics, syrups and mouthwashes; the reaction causes flushing, severe headache, vomiting and palpitations. Tell your prescriber about liver disease, epilepsy, blood disorders and any existing numbness or tingling. Darkened urine is harmless. Report new numbness, tingling or burning in the hands or feet. Avoid in the first trimester of pregnancy unless specifically prescribed. Metronidazole interacts with warfarin, lithium, phenytoin and disulfiram, so provide a full medicine list at the counter.
Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place, protected from light and moisture, and out of reach of children. Keep the tablets in their blister until each dose. Do not use after the expiry date on the pack. Do not keep a partial pack for a future episode of diarrhoea; a new episode requires its own assessment, since bacterial dysentery, viral gastroenteritis and inflammatory bowel disease can all look similar and need different treatment.
