What it is

What it's used for

Damogyl is approved for treating trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It is used in both males and females when the infection is confirmed by laboratory tests.

How it's taken

Damogyl tablets are taken by mouth. The dosage and treatment length depend on the infection being treated and should be determined by a doctor. For trichomoniasis, treatment is typically a short course. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions exactly.

Common side effects

Possible side effects include numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, seizures, confusion, vision changes, and severe skin reactions (such as blistering or rash). If you experience any of these, stop the medicine and seek medical help right away.

Important cautions

Damogyl should not be used by anyone allergic to metronidazole or similar drugs. It is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy. Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can cause serious reactions. Also, do not take it if you have used disulfiram within the last two weeks, as it may cause psychotic effects.
