Although metronidazole is generally well tolerated with minimal adverse effects, patients have reported a variety of reactions across physiological systems.
Central Nervous System. Headache, dizziness, vertigo, incoordination, ataxia, confusion, dysarthria, irritability, depression, weakness, and insomnia have been reported by patients taking metronidazole. More severely, patients have reported convulsive seizures, encephalopathy, aseptic meningitis, optic/peripheral neuropathy (namely numbness and parasthesias) during treatment (Sarna, Furtado & Brownell, 2013, p. 768).
Gastrointestinal. Nausea (with or without headache or vomiting,) diarrhea, epigastric distress, abdominal cramping, and constipation are the most common adverse effects reported during metronidazole therapy. Patients have commonly reported a sharp, metallic taste; glossitis and stomatitis have occurred, and may be related to Candida overgrowth during successful therapy; patients with known Chron’s disease

Mayer et al. (2015) examined the rapid and significant changes to vaginal microbiota following antibacterial treatment for BV, and found that metronidazole, although the first line treatment for BV, is not effective ultimately effective against G. vaginalis; within 24 hours of administration, there was complete reorganization of the vaginal microbiota, with G. vaginalis reemergence within 7 days. It is speculated that drug resistance may be partially responsible for their results. By contrast, Waheed, Yaseen & Shami (2015) evaluated the most effective therapy to prevent complications of pregnancy caused by BV, and obtained a 74% cure rate using 0.75% metronidazole cream; this was similar in results to use of 2% clindamycin vaginal cream, although the clindamycin regimen is shorter in duration (p.

Tracey Benkosky is a 40-year-old female here today with vaginitis symptoms. I do suspect bacterial vaginitis and gave her a prescription for MetroGel to be applied nightly for five nights. She will go ahead and await the results of the Affirm culture. She will call me if she does not hear from me in a week period of time or certainly if her symptoms are worsening. We do also have a urine culture pending, though I suspect that will be negative.

Melinda, I also have the same concern when it comes to side effects and furthermore allergies. This issue can definetely be drawback as it can contribute to non-complience and perhaps even life threathening related to allergies. I think it would be difficult to determine which drug could be the trigger for such reactions. If I was to be the health care provider prescribing this pill I would take into consideration, if the patient had taken any of this drugs separatly prior, to make an assessment if weather it would be a good candidate for the polypill.

Generally adverse effects of nifurtimox or benznidazole are lower in children than in adult. There are two adverse effects of benznidazole i.e. allergic dermitis and peripheral neuropathy. Allergic dermitis occur within 8-10 days after treatment starts and there is no need to reduce dose in most patients. While sensitive neuropathy result in last part of treatment and affect mainly lower parts of limbs. The treatment should stopped in this case. Rare adverse effects includes leucopenia, weight loss, vomiting, insomnia, and nausea 26, 28.
While injecting Stonozolol, the nitrogen retention is increased to a greater extent in your body. Moreover, it acts immediately once it is injected into the body. Moreover, this injectable form does not have any impact on the water retention of your body and so, it is highly preferred by body builders. While both the tablet forms and injectable forms are known to have same level of impact, it is believed that the injectable form does not have any hepatotoxic nature. This is one of the major reasons for the athletes to opt for this form of Stonozolol

There are barriers to treating BV that add to the challenges providers face when treating the condition. Unfortunately, metronidazole efficacy is decreasing due to resistance.13 Certain organisms have been
The health issues listed here are just a glance at what this drug can do to one’s health.
Vulvovaginal candidiasis is one of the most prevalent vaginal infections and represents, approximately 40%–50% of all cases of infectious vulvovaginitis [22]. The prevalence of RVVC among childbearing women and its importance as an Egyptian public health problem make an interest to continue research on such cases to add deep knowledge on RVVC and to understand the behavior of its pathogen and its epidemiology within Egyptian patients [23]. RVVC and its control by MBL was studied previously, but unfortunately none of the published papers discussed such cases in Egyptian patients. In an attempt to fill this gap, this study was designed on 118 childbearing Egyptian women to find out new therapeutic strategy for RVVC.
Adverse reactions to this medication are migraine, speech disorders, rhinitis, sinusitis, hyperglycemia, elevated liver function, elevated serum creatinine level, pancytopenia, bronchitis, dyspnea, toxic epidermal necrolysis, anaphylaxis, elevated creatine kinase, generalized pain, and infection. Nursing considerations with this medication is to have the patient swallow the whole tablet and not to chew. Watch for aspiration while watching the patient take the medication. Educate the patient about the medication and inform them to notify a physician if bleeding
bacterial urinary tract infection, which is the most common side effect, may occur.21 Other patients
Vaginal colonization by Candida spp. occurs in low numbers and follows adherence of Candida to vaginal ECs. Colonization can persist for months or years in healthy women not susceptible to RVVC where Candida lives in symbiotic relationship with vaginal microbiota. The breakdown of this relationship results in symptomatic infection and originates from either favored overgrowth of Candida or defect in host defense mechanisms .
