What is Flagyl (Metronidazole)?
Flagyl contains metronidazole as its active ingredient, which works by disrupting the DNA synthesis of bacteria and protozoa, ultimately killing the organisms causing infection. It treats a variety of conditions such as anaerobic bacterial infections, trichomoniasis, giardiasis, and infections related to surgery or dental procedures.
Dosage of Flagyl (Metronidazole)
- Adults: 400-500 mg three times daily for 5 to 14 days, depending on the type and severity of infection.
- For trichomoniasis, a single dose of 2 grams or divided doses over a day may be prescribed.
- Dosage and duration are tailored based on infection type and patient condition.
- Children: Dosage based on body weight, carefully calculated by a healthcare provider.
- Adjustments may be necessary for patients with liver or kidney impairment.
Dosage varies widely; typical adult doses are 400-500 mg three times daily with treatment length depending on infection.
How to Take Flagyl (Metronidazole)
- Swallow tablets whole with a full glass of water.
- Can be taken with or without food but taking with food may reduce stomach upset.
