Indications & Clinical Uses

Metronidazole is used to treat infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and susceptible protozoa.

  • Bacterial vaginosis: eradicates the anaerobic bacteria responsible, relieving discharge and odor.
  • Trichomoniasis: eliminates Trichomonas vaginalis, resolving genital irritation.
  • Amoebiasis: destroys Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites, treating intestinal and extra‑intestinal disease.
  • Anaerobic bacterial infections: targets a broad range of anaerobes in intra‑abdominal, pelvic and skin‑soft tissue infections.

How It Works

  • Metronidazole is taken up by anaerobic microorganisms and reduced by intracellular electron‑transport proteins to form reactive nitro radicals. These radicals interact with DNA, causing strand breakage and loss of helical structure, and also inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, ultimately leading to microbial cell death.

Side Effects

Metronidazole may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild to moderate upset stomach.
  • Metallic taste: persistent metallic sensation in the mouth.
  • Headache: occasional dull or throbbing pain.
  • Diarrhoea: loose stools, sometimes with abdominal cramping.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Seizures: convulsive episodes, especially with high plasma levels.
  • Peripheral neuropathy: tingling or numbness in extremities.
  • Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis.

Precautions & Warnings

Before prescribing metronidazole, consider the following precautions to ensure safe use.

  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional; safety not established.
  • Alcohol consumption: avoid alcohol during therapy and for at least 48 hours after the last dose.
  • Renal impairment: dose adjustment may be required in patients with reduced kidney function.
  • Hepatic disease: use with caution in patients with liver dysfunction.
  • Drug interactions: review all concomitant medications for potential interactions.
  • Store at room temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Metronidazole can interact with several medicines; some combinations should be avoided while others require monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Alcohol: may cause a disulfiram‑like reaction.
  • Warfarin: can enhance anticoagulant effect, increasing bleeding risk.
  • Lithium: may raise lithium serum concentrations.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Oral contraceptives: efficacy may be reduced.
  • Phenytoin: metronidazole may lower phenytoin levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Metronidazole Morningside is indicated for bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, amoebiasis and a variety of anaerobic bacterial infections such as intra‑abdominal, pelvic and skin‑soft tissue infections. It targets organisms that thrive in low‑oxygen environments.

Metronidazole enters anaerobic cells and is reduced to reactive nitro radicals. These radicals damage microbial DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death and eradication of the infecting organism.

The prescribing clinician determines the dose based on the type and severity of the infection, patient weight, renal and hepatic function, and other individual factors. No fixed regimen is provided here; the prescriber sets the appropriate schedule.

The pregnancy safety category for metronidazole is listed as unknown. It should only be used during pregnancy or lactation when the potential benefit outweighs any possible risk, and after discussion with a qualified healthcare professional.
