Hi
Thanks for your question.
No, metrogyl is not given 5-6 times a day. The dose of metrogyl (that is metronidazole) varies for different conditions. We give it upto a maximum of 4 times and the dose depends on the condition and the weight of the child.

I hope i addressed your question.
Let me know if you have any more questions
