You may have severe stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Noxagyl DL works by stopping the growth of bacteria and parasites causing infection. It relieves these symptoms and also helps you to stay well by preventing them from coming back. In order to prevent the spread of infection, it is advisable to always wash your hands after using the toilet.
  • In Treatment of Diarrhea: Diarrhea is a condition in which you frequently pass loose, watery stools. Noxagyl DL helps treat diarrhea by killing the bacteria causing infections as well as prevents them from multiplying. Noxagyl DL makes the stool less watery as well as reduces the frequency of loose motions.
