teva pharmaceuticals usa, inc. - metronidazole (unii: 140qmo216e) (metronidazole - unii:140qmo216e) - metronidazole 250 mg - metronidazole tablets are indicated for the treatment of t. vaginalis infection in females and males when the presence of the trichomonad has been confirmed by appropriate laboratory procedures (wet smears and/or cultures). metronidazole tablets are 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. 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 in cases of reinfection. metronidazole tablets are indicated in the treatment of acute intestinal amebiasis (amebic dysentery) and amebic liver abscess. in amebic liver abscess, metronidazole tablets therapy does not obviate the need for aspiration or drainage of pus. metronidazole tablets are indicated in the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria. indicated surgical procedures should be performed in conjunction with metronidazole tablets therapy. in a mixed aerobic and anaerobic infection, antimicrobials appropriate for the treatment of the aerobic infection should be used in addition to metronidazole tablets. intra-abdominal infections,  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. vulgatus ), clostridium species, eubacterium species, peptococcus species, and peptostreptococcus species. skin and skin structure infections  caused by bacteroides species including the b. fragilis group, clostridium species, peptococcus species, peptostreptococcus species, and fusobacterium species. gynecologic infections, including endometritis, endomyometritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and postsurgical vaginal cuff infection, caused by bacteroides species including the b. fragilis group, clostridium species, peptococcus species, peptostreptococcus species, and fusobacterium species. bacterial septicemia  caused by bacteroides species including the b. fragilis group and clostridium species. bone and joint infections,  (as adjunctive therapy), caused by bacteroides species including 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 and other antibacterial drugs, metronidazole tablets 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. metronidazole tablets are contraindicated in patients with a prior history of hypersensitivity to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole derivatives. in patients with trichomoniasis, metronidazole tablets are contraindicated during the first trimester of pregnancy (see precautions ). use of oral metronidazole is associated with psychotic reactions in alcoholic patients who were using disulfiram concurrently. do not administer metronidazole to patients who have taken disulfiram within the last two weeks (see precautions, drug interactions ). use of oral metronidazole is associated with a disulfiram-like reaction to alcohol, including abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and flushing. discontinue consumption of alcohol or products containing propylene glycol during and for at least three days after therapy with metronidazole (see precautions, drug interactions ). metronidazole tablets are contraindicated in patients with cockayne syndrome. severe irreversible hepatotoxicity/acute liver failure with fatal outcomes have been reported after initiation of metronidazole in patients with cockayne syndrome (see adverse reactions) .
