How and When to use Metronidazole (Flagyl, Metrogel) - Doctor Explains
Welcome back to How To Medicate and welcome to this video on how and when to use Metronidazole. I already made several videos on different antibiotics and if you are interested you can find those in the playlist here:
• Everything on Antibiot...
Generic name: Metronidazole.
Brand names: Flagyl and Metrogel.
Available as: an ovule, oral suspension, tablet or injection
How to use it?
Tablets: Swallow the tablet whole with half a glass of water. Don’t break it and don’t chew on it.
Oral suspension: shake the bottle before use and measure the correct amount with the supplied measuring spoon/cup.
Ovule: needs to be inserted deep into the vagina.
Duration of treatment?
Usually 1-10 days.
It is important that you do not interrupt the treatment and finish it completely.
When to use it?
Metronidazole is used for ”serious” infections caused by micro-organisms sensitive to Metronidazole.
What is the correct dosage?
Always use the dosage and frequency prescribed by your own doctor.
What are the side-effects?
Common: (1-10%): Increased sensitivity for additional infections.
Uncommon (0.1-1%): general body weakness.
Rare (0.01-0.1%): severe allergic reaction and convulsions.
Safety:
You should not drive while using Metronidazole and you should not combine it with alcohol.
Furthermore, the usage of Metronidazole can have interactions with some other drugs and it can be dangerous for people with liver and neurological problems. Therefore always ask your prescribing physician if metronidazole is safe for you.
Pregnancy and Lactation:
The usage of metronidazole while pregnant or while breastfeeding is usually considered to be safe, but you should always ask your doctor if Metronidazole is safe for you and your baby.

I've just started taking Flagyl, first pill about two hours ago, I feel dizzy little bit uneasy in my stomach, this is all a result of about a week of feeling unwell, I've received my stool tests confirming a stomach parasite. I have my suspicions it could have been from a bad sandwich I bought at a local store. Two weeks into my new apprentice job and I had to take brief time off and now I've lost my job as a result. Hopefully I experience no bad side effects and I can be back to good health soon. I wish everyone else who has stumbled here ; the best health you can have 👍 it seems like it's prescribed to many people over varying degrees of reasons - but we can always hope for better :)

Update; I've won the lottery, no I wish. I've been taking one tablet three times a day with each meal time and I'm starting to feel less side effects. Still get low strength headaches, dizziness, bit of mind fog and tiredness and weak stomach twists but it's probably not a concern. Some other people seem to have worse side effects 🤔.

@@bbenh3729hi Ben, well I don't remember now but I'm doing ok. It's been many months. I think I may of felt funny for a few weeks but it didn't take long to feel back to normal. I would just recommend the basic hydration and food and a good sleep schedule and time should serve it well 🤙
Currently taking this med. Side effects: headache and feeling sick. Just eat and try to get through it.
Here's my experience taking Flagyl. I'm 30 years old and had unexplained weightloss. I started taking Flagyl to get rid of parasites. I had all the bad symptoms of having parasites. Since I'm underweight I only took 250mg of Flagyl once per day. I took one pill after lunch everyday for 10 days and I had no negative symptoms. The only bad thing was a headache here and there. I feel much better now and no more constipation or tenderness in my abdominals. Hope this helps someone. Don't be scared to take it and a trick I used was to eat a banana right after I took the pill and eat a sugar free mint to mask the taste. Other than that it worked for me 🙏

Hi uneekkk, has your anxiety and panics attacked lessened since you stopped? I finished my 3 week course of this drug yesterday and I’m currently experiencing everything you’ve listed. I feel awful and trying to keep myself busy so I don’t have another panic attack. I’m happy to have figured what caused this anxiety and I’m hoping I return to normal after being off it a few days
This pill had me sweating like I stole something and on the toilet.
I put off taking the medicine for until a month after the bottle expired and then I was like all right I got to take the medicine I got to do it but I was just scared about the side effects of review's but I took it I really love you a lot I think it calmed me and my brain my mind is more focused I feel better my stomach feels more calmer so it really helped for me I took it for a 7 days

What I cannot understand is the Chief Ladojas assersation the present Olubadan does not want him to become Olubadan. The Position of Olubadan cannot be Vacant until the Present Olubadan joins his Ancestors. I support the Present Arrangements of Crowning the Senior Chiefs to enable the Olubadan delegate his responsibilities to the Chiefs by Creating Areas of Responsibility for each Crowned Royal Father's in Ibadan. Going to Court by Chief Ladoja because it will further divide our Ibadan Royal House. I will rather expect Chief Ladoja to discuss with both the Olubadan and the State Governor to find a peaceful and permanent Solution to this Problem. There is already too much Developmental Problems in Oyo State particularly in Ibadan being the State Capital and we cannot afford to add a lingering Chieftancy Problem . I hope some Elders of Ibadanland to wade into this matter and get Cheif Ladoja to withdraw the case from the Court because it does not matter the final decision of the Court will create further problems for Ibadan.

To be fair I was wired on coffee and didn’t get the best sleep. I’d definitely ask a doctor how to do counteract some of those feelings. I imagine someone with severe anxiety/depression can exacerbate those issues. I only have one more day left after today, finish meds tomorrow. I have been on a two week cycle/twice each day. As of today is my 13th straight day. I am surprised I made this far without stopping it but I was able to push through. There’s no way I could do this medication for two months.

I was meant to take 2 tablets a day during the morning and the evening for bacterial vaginosis but for the first two days I made a dumb mistake as I misread it wrong and was just taking 1 pill in the morning and evening - basically I guess you could say I was taking half dose for two days. During this time however, the symptoms did disappear and once I realised I immediately started taking the dose correctly from the third day. Due to this, I had to extend the course of treatment to 6 days (treatment duration was meant to be just 5 days but I still had tablets remaining) to finish the course in a timely manner. I didn't double dose at all. Will this be a problem?

As this was two years ago I’m sure this is no longer an issue 🤣 but for anyone reading you should avoid alcohol until at least 48h after your last use of the gel. Even a topical treatments of metronidazole like this can trigger what’s known as a disulfiram-like reaction in some people, which can make you very unwell
Iwas given this medicine after giving birth due to lower abdominal pain which was very serious but still it persist what is the ploblem
When I get tooth abscess, sinus, or ear infection, my physician prescribes metronidazole with amoxicillin-clavulanate and 1000mg of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and I don't feel side effects except for a slight stomach irritation. The only precaution is to not consume alcohol or alcohol-based products like mouthwash or toothpaste with glycol and to avoid laying down at least 2 to 3 hours after a dose. Works fast! 🩺
