IMPORTANT WARNING:
Metronidazole can cause cancer in laboratory
animals. Talk to your doctor about the risks
and benefits of using Metronidazole.
Why is Metronidazole prescribed?
Metronidazole eliminates bacteria and other
microorganisms that cause infections of the
reproductive system, gastrointestinal tract,
skin, vagina, and other areas of the body. Antibiotics
will not work for colds, flu, or other viral
infections.
Metronidazole is sometimes prescribed for
other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for
more information.
How should Metronidazole be used?
Metronidazole comes as a tablet to take by mouth.
It is usually taken two or three times a day
for 5-10 days or longer. Follow the directions
on your prescription label carefully, and ask
your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part
you do not understand. Take Metronidazole exactly
as directed. Do not take more or less of it
or take it more often than prescribed by your
doctor.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking Metronidazole,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are
allergic to Metronidazole or any other drugs.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription
and nonprescription medications you are taking,
especially anticoagulants ('blood thinners')
such as warfarin (Coumadin), astemizole (Hismanal),
disulfiram (Antabuse), lithium (Lithobid), phenobarbital,
phenytoin (Dilantin), and vitamins.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had
blood, kidney, or liver disease or Crohn's disease.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to
become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you
become pregnant while taking Metronidazole,
call your doctor.
know that you should not drink alcohol while
taking this drug. Alcohol may cause an upset
stomach, vomiting, stomach cramps, headaches,
sweating, and flushing (redness of the face).
plan to avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure
to sunlight and to wear protective clothing,
sunglasses, and sunscreen. Metronidazole may
make your skin sensitive to sunlight.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember
it. However, if it is almost time for the next
dose, skip the missed dose and continue your
regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double
dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can Metronidazole cause?
Metronidazole may cause side effects. Tell your
doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or
do not go away:
vomiting
diarrhea
upset stomach
loss of appetite
dry mouth; sharp, unpleasant metallic taste
dark or reddish-brown urine
furry tongue; mouth or tongue irritation
numbness or tingling of hands or feet
If you experience any of the following symptoms,
call your doctor immediately:
rash
itching
stuffy nose
fever
joint pain
If you experience a serious side effect, you
or your doctor may send a report to the Food
and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse
Event Reporting program online [at http://www.fda.gov/MedWatch/index.html]
or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
What storage conditions are needed for Metronidazole?
Keep Metronidazole in the container it came
in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children.
Store Metronidazole at room temperature and away from excess
heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw
away any medication that is outdated or no longer
needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper
disposal of your medication.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison
control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim
has collapsed or is not breathing, call local
emergency services at 911.
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the
laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab
tests to check your response to Metronidazole.
Do not let anyone else take your medication.
Your prescription is probably not refillable.
If you still have symptoms of infection after
you finish the Metronidazole, call your doctor.
It is important for you to keep a written list
of all of the prescription and nonprescription
(over-the-counter) medicines you are taking,
as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals,
or other dietary supplements. You should bring
this list with you each time you visit a doctor
or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is
also important information to carry with you
in case of emergencies.
