A number of bacterial and parasitic infections, including certain sexually transmitted infections, can be treated with metronidazole (Flagyl®, MetroCream®, MetroGel®, MetroGel-Vaginal®, MetroLotion®, Noritate®, Vandazole®). The medication is an antibiotic that comes in several different forms, including oral tablets and capsules, skin lotions and creams, and vaginal cream. Although most people appear to tolerate metronidazole products well, potential side effects include nausea, headaches, and a metallic taste in the mouth.
