Metronidazole belongs to a group of drugs called antiprotozoal agents, which kills certain types of bacteria and parasites. It comes in the form of oral tablets or a topical vaginal gel called Zidoval.
It works by stopping the growth of organisms in the body and by reducing the production of molecules called free radicals, which can damage cells. This can help to reduce the symptoms of bacterial and parasitic infections.
The tablets stop the growth of the bacteria (or parasite) that is initiating the infection. This prevents the cells' ability to reproduce, stopping the infection from spreading and giving the immune system a better chance of fighting the infection.
When taking any course of antibiotics, it is important to complete the course of treatment, even if you feel better or the infection has cleared. Stopping Metronidazole too early can cause your infection to return.
Metronidazole is an antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections. It is also used to treat certain protozoal infections, including some types of amebiasis and trichomoniasis. While Metronidazole is very effective at treating these infections, it can also interact with other medications. When taking Metronidazole, or any other medication, it is important to be aware of potential interactions. When taking Metronidazole, it is important to avoid taking it with the following medications:
It is important to speak to your doctor before taking Metronidazole if you are currently taking any other medications, as they may interact with the antibiotic. Additionally, some foods and beverages may interact with Metronidazole and should be avoided, such as alcoholic beverages and other beverages containing alcohol.
The typical dosing regimen for metronidazole used to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV) is 500 mg twice daily (morning and evening) for seven days.
Depending on the individual patient, doses may range from 250 mg to 1000 mg.
It is important to always take metronidazole exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not take a double dose if you miss a dose. If you have any questions about dosing or any other aspects of treatment, contact your healthcare provider.
Doctors prescribe metronidazole to treat bacterial infections of the vagina, stomach, skin, joints and respiratory tract
Vaginal Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a vaginal infection that affects 1 in 3 women in the UK.
While it is not classed as an STI, the infection can be triggered by sexual intercourse and even passed on from one woman to another during sex.
There are a number of potential causes of BV, including:
BV is often mistaken for thrush due to the similarities in the symptoms of both infections.
The difference between the two conditions lies in the consistency and odour of vaginal discharge.
While thrush often produces a thick, odourless discharge that looks like cottage cheese, the discharge associated with bacterial vaginosis is often thin, watery and foul or fishy-smelling.
If you notice a change in your vaginal discharge, speak to our online prescriber or a pharmacist for advice.
