Metronidazole 400mg Tablets are prescription antibiotics commonly used to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. This oral treatment targets the anaerobic bacteria responsible for infection, helping to relieve symptoms such as unusual discharge, odour, and irritation. With its proven efficacy and fast action, Metronidazole is a preferred option for many patients and healthcare providers.
How It Works
Metronidazole belongs to a class of drugs called nitroimidazoles. It works by inhibiting the DNA synthesis of certain bacteria and parasites, effectively killing them and stopping the spread of infection. For bacterial vaginosis, Metronidazole targets the overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria in the vagina, restoring the natural balance of microflora.
Why Choose Metronidazole Tablets
Oral Metronidazole offers a convenient and effective treatment option for bacterial vaginosis, especially when topical treatments are unsuitable or less effective. The 400mg strength provides potent antimicrobial action with a standard 5 to 7-day course. It treats the condition systemically, which can reduce recurrence and provide broader infection control.
Because it is taken by mouth, Metronidazole is easy to integrate into daily routines. It avoids the mess and discomfort that some patients experience with gels or creams. Most individuals tolerate the medication well, especially when taken as directed.
Important Note
Patients must avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 48 hours after completing the course, as combining alcohol with Metronidazole can cause severe nausea, vomiting, and flushing. Always complete the full course, even if symptoms improve early. Consult your prescriber if you experience side effects or if symptoms persist after finishing the treatment.
