trichomoniasis. metronidazole tablets usp is indicated in the treatment of asymptomatic t. vaginalis infection in females when the organism is associated with endocervicitis, cervicitis, or cervical erosion. since there is evidence that presence of the trichomonad can interfere with accurate assessment of abnormal cytological smears, additional smears should be performed after eradication of the parasite. treatment of asymptomatic sexual partners. t. vaginalis infection is a venereal disease. therefore, asymptomatic sexual partners of treated patients should be treated simultaneously if the organism has been found to be present, in order to prevent reinfection of the partner. the decision as to whether to treat an asymptomatic male partner who has a negative culture or one for whom no culture has been attempted is an individual one. in making this decision, it should be noted that there is evidence that a woman may become reinfected if her sexual partner is not treated. also, since there can be considerable difficulty in isolating the organism from the asymptomatic male carrier, negative smears and cultures cannot be relied upon in this regard. in any event, the sexual partner should be treated with metronidazole tablets usp in cases of reinfection. amebiasis. metronidazole tablets usp is indicated in the treatment of acute intestinal amebiasis (amebic dysentery) and amebic liver abscess. in amebic liver abscess, metronidazole tablets usp therapy does not obviate the need for aspiration or drainage of pus. anaerobic bacterial infections. metronidazole tablets usp is

including peritonitis, intra-abdominal abscess, and liver abscess, caused by bacteroides species including the b. fragilis group (b. fragilis, b. distasonis, b. ovatus, b. thetaiotaomicron, b.

the b. fragilis group. central nervous system (cns) infections, including meningitis and brain abscess, caused by bacteroides species including the b. fragilis group. lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia, empyema, and lung abscess, caused by bacteroides species including the b. fragilis group. endocarditis caused by bacteroides species including the b. fragilis group. to reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of metronidazole tablets usp and other antibacterial drugs, metronidazole tablets usp should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. when culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. in the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. hypersensitivity metronidazole tablets usp is contraindicated in patients with a prior history of hypersensitivity to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole derivatives. in patients with trichomoniasis, metronidazole tablets is
