Description
Indications
Metronidazole is an effective antimicrobial used to treat a range of bacterial and parasitic infections, including those affecting the skin, vagina, blood, heart, bones, stomach, liver, joints, nervous system, respiratory tract, and other parts of the body.
This medication is also prescribed for the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The extended-release form of metronidazole is used for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis in women, which is caused by an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the vagina.
Metronidazole belongs to a class of drugs known as nitroimidazole antimicrobials, and works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. This medication is only effective against infections caused by bacteria and is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
Uses and Dosage
Metronidazole is available in tablet, extended-release tablet, and capsule form for oral consumption. The dosage of metronidazole capsules and tablets is usually taken as a single dose or divided into two doses over a single day, or two to four times a day for up to 10 days or longer.
The extended-release tablets are to be taken once a day, at least one hour before or two hours after a meal, for seven days. The tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be split, chewed, or crushed.
Even if you start to feel better, continue taking the medication as prescribed. Discontinuing the medication without consulting your doctor can lead to a partial treatment of the infection and an increased risk of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
