Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Metronidazole is good antibiotics for anaerobic microbes including yeasts, which are normally cause for Diarrhea.
Adult dose of metronidazole is 400mg and should be taken thrice a day, if taken alone. If taken with other antibiotic, twice a day dose is sufficent.
So you should take flagyl 400 as advised.
Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps.
