Read moreMetronidazole is indicated in the treatment of following diseases: The prevention of post-operative infections due to anaerobic bacteria (particularly species of bacteroides and anaerobic streptococci). The treatment of septicaemia, bacteraemia, peritonitis, brain abscess, pelvic abscess, pelvic cellulitis and post-operative wound infections caused by anaerobes. In the treatment of urogenital trichomoniasis. Bacterial vaginosis (also known as non-specific vaginitis). All forms of amoebiasis (intestinal, extra-intestinal disease and that of symptomless cyst passers). Giardiasis. Acute ulcerative gingivitis. Anaerobically infected leg ulcers and pressure sores. Acute dental infections due to anaerobic organisms. Antibiotic associated pseudomembranus colitis.
Contraindications

Side Effects
Metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, drowsiness, rashes may be observed during treatment.
Pregnancy And Lactation
Disulfiram: Psychotic reactions have been reported in patients who were using metronidazole and disulfiram concurrently. Alcohol: Alcoholic beverages and drugs containing alcohol should not be consumed during therapy and for at least one day afterwards because of the possibility of a disulfiram-like (antabuse effect) reaction (flushing, vomiting, tachycardia). Oral anticoagulant therapy (warfarin type): Potentiation of the anticoagulant effect and increased hemorrhagic risk caused by decreased hepatic catabolism. In case of co-administration, prothrombin time should be more frequently monitored and anticoagulant therapy adjusted during treatment with metronidazole. Lithium: Plasma levels of lithium may be increased by metronidazole. Cyclosporin: Serum cyclosporin and serum creatinine should be closely monitored when co-administration is necessary. Phenytoin or phenobarbital: increased elimination of metronidazole resulting in reduced plasma levels. 5-Fluorouracil: Reduced clearance of 5-fluorouracil resulting in increased toxicity of 5-fluorouracil. Busulfan: Plasma levels of busulfan may be increased by metronidazole, which may lead to severe busulfan toxicity.
Therapeutic
Single oral doses of metronidazole, up to 12 g have been reported in suicide attempts and accidental overdoses. Symptoms were limited to vomiting, ataxia and slight disorientation. There is no specific antidote for metronidazole overdosages. In case of suspected massive overdosages, a symptomatic and supportive treatment should be instituted.
Storage Conditions
Metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, drowsiness, rashes may be observed during treatment.
