Effectiveness

How Flagyl Er Affects PatientsMetronidazole is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria and parasites, like amebiasis, trichomoniasis, and giardiasis. It works by damaging the DNA of these microbes, killing them. However, metronidazole is not effective against most other types of bacteria. People taking metronidazole may experience convulsions or numbness of an extremity, so it should be used only when necessary and only for its approved uses. Additionally, it has been found to be carcinogenic in mice and rats, though its effects on humans are unknown.
How Flagyl Er works in the bodyMetronidazole is used to fight bacterial and protozoan infections. Researchers aren't sure exactly how it works, but it is thought that the drug enters cells by passive diffusion, and then is changed into toxic metabolites. These metabolites damage the DNA of any replicating organisms, which allows metronidazole to selectively target anaerobic and microaerophilic organisms.

When to interrupt dosage

The amount of Flagyl Er is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Exposure by partner, Skin and Curling Ulcer. The dosage fluctuates as per the technique of delivery (e.g. Capsule or Vaginal) outlined in the table below.

Flagyl Er Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe toxic amount of metronidazole for rats is 5000mg/kg. Taking too much metronidazole can lead to nerve damage, brain toxicity, seizures, sensitivity to alcohol, dark urine, a bad taste in the mouth, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness, and low white blood cells. There is no cure for an overdose of metronidazole. The best treatment is to give the patient activated charcoal and supportive care, and contact the local poison control center for more information.

Flagyl Er for Diverticulitis
This treatment has been a lifesaver for me. I was diagnosed with IBS over 25 years ago and then Diverticulitis about 15 years ago. Since being put on Flagyl, I haven't had any flare-ups or side effects. It's really amazing and I'm so grateful.

I've been dealing with IBS and Diverticulitis for a long time, and this is by far the best medication I've tried. No negative side effects that I can tell, and it really helps to take the edge off of my flare-ups.
