People with infections caused by anaerobic bacteria or certain parasites may benefit from the antibiotic metronidazole (Flagyl®, MetroCream®, MetroGel®, MetroGel-Vaginal®, MetroLotion®, Noritate®, Vandazole®). This prescription drug works to kill bacteria and parasites by entering their cells and causing a chemical reaction that produces molecules that damage and destroy cells. Some metronidazole products are used topically, while others are taken orally. You should talk to your healthcare provider before using this medication if you are pregnant or have liver disease, epilepsy, or any allergies.
