Metronidazole tablet for dental infection

Metronidazole tablets

Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat infections caused by bacteria and parasites. This medication is available in the form of tablets, capsules, liquid, and vaginal gel.

Metronidazole works by killing the bacteria and parasites that cause the infection.

This drug is used to treat various types of infections, including vaginal infections, sexually transmitted infections, gum infections, and intestinal infections. Metronidazole can also be used to prevent infection after surgery.

Metronidazole is generally well-tolerated by most people.

However, this drug can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and a metallic taste in the mouth. Metronidazole can also cause dizziness and drowsiness.

It is important to avoid alcohol while taking metronidazole and for 48 hours after stopping the medication. Alcohol can interact with metronidazole and cause serious side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, flushing, and headache.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult your doctor before taking metronidazole, as it can harm the unborn baby or the nursing infant.

You should not take metronidazole if you have any of the following:

You should not take metronidazole if you have an allergy to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole antibiotics, liver disease, neurological disorders, a history of seizures, or are currently consuming alcohol.

If you have any other medical conditions or are taking any other medications, you should consult your doctor before taking metronidazole.

Take metronidazole as directed by your doctor. It is usually taken two to three times a day with food. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better, as stopping the medication early can lead to the infection returning.
