Metronidazol Actavis (Metronidazole)

Metronidazole is taken up by anaerobic organisms and reduced to reactive nitro radicals within the cell. These radicals damage DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, leading to microbial cell death. This mechanism is effective against both anaerobic bacteria and susceptible protozoa.

The exact dose of Metronidazol Actavis is set by the prescribing clinician based on the type and severity of the infection, the patient’s age, weight, renal and hepatic function, and any relevant comorbidities. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety data for metronidazole in pregnancy are limited, and the drug is generally classified as use‑only if the potential benefit justifies the risk. It is excreted in breast milk, so clinicians usually recommend weighing the benefits against possible infant exposure and may suggest alternative therapy when appropriate.

To order Metronidazol Actavis, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and the necessary import documentation.

Metronidazol Actavis contains metronidazole, a well‑established nitroimidazole with broad activity against anaerobes and protozoa. Compared with alternatives such as tinidazole, metronidazole has a longer history of use, a well‑characterized safety profile, and is often preferred for first‑line treatment of bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis and many anaerobic infections.

Metronidazol Actavis should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in their original packaging, protect them from moisture, heat and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

Metronidazol Actavis is taken orally with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food; however, taking it with food can reduce gastrointestinal upset in some patients. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider.

Serious adverse reactions include severe allergic responses such as anaphylaxis, neurologic events like seizures or peripheral neuropathy, liver toxicity, and rare skin conditions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, persistent abdominal pain, or neurological symptoms.

Metronidazol Actavis should be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole compounds. Caution is also advised for patients with severe hepatic impairment, those taking disulfiram, and individuals who consume alcohol heavily, as a disulfiram‑like reaction may occur.
