Metronidazole is an antibiotic. It stops the bacteria, and some parasites, that cause an infection from growing. It comes in many forms: tablets, a liquid to drink, suppositories (put into the bottom), a skin gel or cream, and a vaginal gel. It can also be given by injection, usually in hospital.
- Infections of the mouth, gums and teeth, including dental abscesses
- Bacterial vaginosis, a common cause of unusual vaginal discharge
- Trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by a tiny parasite
- Pelvic inflammatory disease and some other genital infections in women
- Skin infections, infected insect bites, wounds, leg ulcers and pressure sores
- Rosacea (as a skin gel or cream)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for a headache, high temperature and stiff neck together with sensitivity to bright light, hallucinations, confusion or trouble speaking. These are very rare signs of meningitis or a brain problem. Stop taking metronidazole and do not drive yourself.
- Call an ambulance for signs of a severe allergic reaction: sudden swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue or throat, wheezing or struggling to breathe, a tight throat, blue, grey or pale lips or skin, sudden confusion, or fainting.
- Get urgent help for a fit (seizure).
- Stop and get medical help straight away for a widespread rash with blisters, peeling skin or mouth sores.

Our condition guides that mention Metronidazole
From our condition guides, written from WHO, NICE and other opened sources. Your doctor decides if Metronidazole is right for you and the dose.
- Acute gastroenteritis (diarrhoea and vomiting): only for specific proven or strongly suspected infections (dysentery, cholera, giardiasis, amoebiasis, blood infection) or for high-risk patients
- Amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery): first choice for amoebiasis with symptoms, including dysentery and liver abscess
- Bacterial vaginosis: metronidazole tablets or vaginal gel are a first choice
- Giardiasis: The usual medicines for giardiasis. Tinidazole is often given as a short course and may work better and be easier to take than metronidazole. Metronidazole is cheap and widely used but can cause more stomach upset. Both can cause a metallic taste and a bad reaction with alcohol. Tinidazole should not be used in early pregnancy. Your doctor decides the medicine and the dose
- Helicobacter pylori infection: Metronidazole is part of bismuth quadruple therapy and some other combinations
- Peptic ulcer disease: Always given in combination with a PPI (never one antibiotic alone) to clear H. pylori
- Tetanus: kill the tetanus germs in the wound so that less toxin is made
