THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antibacterial - Antiprotozoal
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Metronidazole is bactericidal against anaerobic bacteria; it exerts
trichomonacidal activity and is
also active against _Giardia lamblia_ and _Entamoeba histolytica_. Its
exact mechanism of action has
not been entirely determined as yet. It has been proposed that an
intermediate in the reduction of
metronidazole, produced only in anaerobic bacteria and protozoa is
bound to deoxyribonucleic
acid and electron-transport proteins, inhibits subsequent nucleic acid
synthesis.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USES
PROTOZOAL INFECTIONS
-
Trichomonal infections in men as well as in women.
-
Hepatic and intestinal amebiasis.
-
Giardiasis.
BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS
The “1988 Canadian Guidelines for the Treatment of Sexually
Transmitted Diseases in
Neonates, Children, Adolescents and Adults” recommends metronidazole
for the treatment of
this condition.
BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
Treatment:
Metronidazole is indicated in the treatment of serious anaerobic
intra-abdominal infections due
to susceptible anaerobic bacteria, such as _Bacteroides fragilis_ (and
other species of Bacteroides),
_Clostridium_, _Fusobacterium_, _Peptococcus_, and _Peptostreptococcus
species_. In the treatment of
most serious anaerobic infections, intravenous metronidazole is
usually administered initially.
This may be followed by oral therapy with Flagyl capsules at the
discretion of the physician.
Culture and susceptibility studies should be performed to determine
the causative organisms and
their susceptibility to metronidazole. Based on clinical judgment and
anticipated bacteriological
