what is Metronidazzole used for?

Answer 1

Metronidazole treats mostly giardia and other diarrhea conditions. It is also use for treating some mouth infections. I am sure there are many uses for it, but those are the primary ones!!!!!!

Answer 2

Metronidazole is a drug that is commonly prescribed in humans to combat various anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. It is also routinely prescribed for the treatment of amebic dysentery.

Metronidazole is available both in generic tablets and under the brand name “Flagyl” (Searle.) Tablets sizes are 250mg and 500mg.

Metronidazole is used by vets to treat bacterial infections as well as giardia in dogs and cats. Unfortunately, giardia is quite common in animals that often drink from stagnant pools of water, or ingest slugs, or have contact with other infected animals.

A metronidazole tablet is the taste - extremely bitter and often compared to battery acid! Preparation of metronidazole in capsules is one solution since the capsule would enclose the bitter drug.

And one thing I've learned is if a treatment is working, for goodness sake don't mess with it!
