Metronidazole? Metronidazol is a common misspelling of metronidazole.
Metronidazole (Flagyl®, MetroCream®, MetroGel®, MetroGel-Vaginal®, MetroLotion®, Noritate®, Vandazole®) is an antibiotic commonly used for treating various types of bacterial and parasitic infections. It works to kill bacteria or parasites by entering the the organism's cell and causing a chemical reaction that produces free radicals. Metronidazole comes in several different forms -- including tablets, capsules, vaginal cream, and skin creams and lotions -- and is available by prescription only. The particular directions for when and how to use each product vary substantially.
