See all formats and editions

Metronidazole is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a number of illnesses. It inhibits the growth of certain bacteria and parasites. This antibiotic is effective against just a limited number of bacteria and parasites. It is ineffective against viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using an antibiotic when it is not necessary can render it ineffective against subsequent illnesses. Metronidazole may also be used in combination with other drugs to treat some types of stomach and intestinal ulcers caused by bacteria (H. pylori).

 

Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat infections caused by bacteria in the vagina, stomach, liver, skin, joints, brain and spinal cord, lungs, heart, or bloodstream.

 

Metronidazole is also used to treat trichomoniasis, a parasitic infection transmitted sexually. Typically, both sexual partners are treated together, even if one does not exhibit symptoms.

Both generic and brand-name versions of Metronidazole oral pills are available. Immediate-release brand names like Flagyl and Flagyl ER are available (extended-release).

Various dosages of Metronidazole are available. Oral tablets, oral capsules, topical creams, gels, and lotions, as well as a vaginal gel, are all examples of this class. This drug is also available as an injection that must be administered by a healthcare professional.

 

To treat infections caused by bacteria or parasites, Metronidazole oral tablets are used once a day.

 

A prescription is required for both the metronidazole immediate-release tablet and the metronidazole extended-release tablet. Both of these medications are taken orally. Immediate release and prolonged release tablets of Flagyl are known as the brand names (extended-release).

 

Instant-release medications are those that are absorbed immediately by the body. These are medications that gradually enter the body over a period of time.

 

Both immediate-release and extended-release pills can be purchased in generic form. In many cases, generic drugs are less costly than their brand-name counterparts. In certain situations, they may not be accessible in the same strengths or dosage forms as the brand-name medicine.

To treat a wide variety of ailments caused by bacteria or parasites, Metronidazole instant-release oral tablets may help. Infectious disorders that affect the gastrointestinal tract and the reproductive system, respectively, are amebiasis and trichomoniasis. Women with vaginal infections can benefit from extended-release oral tablets of metronidazole.

It is not uncommon for metronidazole to be given in conjunction with other medications. As a result, it may be required to combine it with other drugs.
