Flagyl is a brand-name prescription antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the heart, blood, nervous system, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, lungs, joints, bones, and skin. Extended-release metronidazole is commonly prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections such as trichomoniasis.
As an antimicrobial, Flagyl cannot be used to treat viral infections. If Flagyl is being used to treat a sexually transmitted infection (like trichomoniasis), both sex partners should use the medication simultaneously. This helps reduce the risk of reinfection in either partner. Antimicrobials stop the growth of harmful microorganisms in the body, so simultaneous use in both partners of metronidazole will help prevent the infection from living on and being passed between partners.
Flagyl is supplied as an oral tablet or extended-release capsule. It contains the drug metronidazole, which is available in generic form. Flagyl is only available via prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.

ispershedFlagyl is available in many strengths and is also available in many other formulations such as extended-release tablets and oral capsules. It is not safe or effective if you have any, and there are other strategies to reduce your dose.
Some, but not all, of these strategies may not work if your doctor has questions or if you have any concerns or experience a different approach to treating a bacterial infection. This is especially the case with metronidazole, which is available in generic metronidazole. Consult your doctor for more details.
Flagyl is available in both generic and brand-name medication. Generic metronidazole is the most commonly available.
Flagyl is also available in extended-release tablets, which contain the generic form of metronidazole. Extended-release tablets and tablets should be swallowed whole with water. Brand-name metronidazole is available in many forms, including oral capsules and extended-release tablets.
Flagyl is available in the following doses:
Some of these doses may take several weeks to show results. It is important to inform your doctor of any other medications your provider is taking to ensure the correct dose and to avoid side effects.
Flagyl is available as an oral suspension, which contains the generic form of metronidazole. The suspension form is similar to the brand-name medication. The generic form of Flagyl is available in generic forms as extended-release tablets and oral capsules.
Flagyl is available in other strengths and is also available in several formulations to:
Some of these strengths may require special consideration or may be ineffective or even dangerous. It is important to inform your doctor of any other strengths or options.

uturetieSevere diarrhea is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. This is why it is very important that you do not obtain diarrhea with the combination of metronidazole and sulfonamides if you are taking any of the following medications:
If you have not previously responded to a dose of Flagyl tablets, you can obtain it by prescription from your healthcare provider or directly by phone. However, it is important to tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, diabetes, thyroid problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gallbladder disease, or obesity.
Flagyl can be taken with or without food. You should not take Flagyl if you have over the counter (OTC) drug products that require that you fill a special prescription bottle with Flagyl before you can buy Flagyl tablets or capsules without requiring one at a time. Before you can buy Flagyl tablets or capsules, it is important to tell any licensed healthcare provider who treats you that you are taking Flagyl.
Flagyl can increase the risk of getting infections such as gonorrhea or syphilis. You should also inform your doctor if you have any health conditions or are taking any medications.
You should not use Flagyl if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. Flagyl can harm your unborn baby and can cause tissue growth in the unborn baby's body. Your doctor will advise you when this procedure is safe and appropriate for you.
Because Flagyl tablets and capsules are OTC, it is important for you to get a prescription from your doctor before taking them. Stopping the medication can lead to a serious infection (like gonorrhea or syphilis).
If you are prescribed a dose of Flagyl, take it about 1-3 hours before sexual activity. If you have questions about taking the Flagyl medication, your healthcare provider may recommend taking the medication at a specific time during your stay.
Tell your doctor if your doctor has prescribed you Flagyl before you can have sex.
As with all prescription medication, tell your doctor if you have any sexually transmitted diseases you have been diagnosed with or treat yourself for.
Tests that show effectiveness include:
Staining of the skin or gut may occur and may cause difficulty in passing urine or bloody stools. Tell your doctor if you have any symptoms of liver disease, including yellowing of the eyes and skin or dark-colored stools, or if you have symptoms of kidney disease, bone loss, or swelling of the ankles or legs. Your doctor will monitor your symptoms and may prescribe medication for flagyl for the best results.
