Metronidazole

Metronidazole antibiotics are used to treat a variety of infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and certain protozoa. They are commonly prescribed for conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, giardiasis, and certain types of gastrointestinal infections, including diverticulitis and inflammatory bowel disease. By inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis, metronidazole effectively stops the growth of sensitive organisms. It is available in oral, topical, and intravenous forms, making it versatile for treating infections in different parts of the body.
