Metronidazole, a potent antibiotic for treating various infections, usually requires a doctor’s prescription. Yet you can conveniently purchase it prescription-free through MedsBase.
What conditions does Metronidazole treat?
Metronidazole effectively treats multiple infections including skin conditions, oral infections (such as dental abscesses), and rosacea. It’s particularly effective against bacterial vaginosis (BV) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Crucially, Metronidazole only works against bacterial infections. Antibiotics shouldn’t be used for viral infections as they’re ineffective. Moreover, unnecessary antibiotic use contributes to antibiotic resistance, making future treatments less effective.
Proper Metronidazole usage
Metronidazole comes in multiple forms: tablets, gels, creams, liquids, and anal suppositories. While injectable forms exist, these are typically administered in hospital settings.
As with all antibiotics, complete your prescribed Metronidazole course even if symptoms improve quickly. Stopping early may allow the infection to persist.
Avoid alcohol during treatment and for 48 hours after completion. Alcohol can intensify side effects like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or flushing.
Side effects may occur without alcohol consumption, though not everyone experiences them. Common reactions include nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and a metallic taste with oral forms.
Can I buy Metronidazole online?
While Metronidazole normally requires a prescription, MedsBase offers a convenient online purchasing option without needing a doctor’s prescription.
