How Metrolotion Affects Patients

Metronidazole is a drug that can treat certain bacterial and parasitic infections. It works by damaging the DNA of the microbes, but it does not work on most regular bacteria or on aerobic organisms. Taking metronidazole at higher doses can lead to convulsions and numbness in the extremities, so it should be taken with caution. It has been found to possibly cause cancer in mice and rats, but it is unknown if this applies to humans. It is best to only take metronidazole when absolutely necessary and only for its approved uses.

How Metrolotion works in the body

Metronidazole works by entering cells and then producing toxic compounds that damage the DNA of bacteria and protozoa. It has a special affinity for anaerobic and microaerophilic organisms, meaning it is particularly effective against them. It affects their electron transport proteins and blocks their ability to produce new DNA, which prevents them from replicating.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Metrolotion is contingent on the diagnosed affliction, including Exposure through partner, Skin and Curling Ulcer. The quantity of dosage likewise differs as per the method of administration (e.g. Capsule or Vaginal) mentioned in the table beneath.

Patient Review

Metrolotion for Acne Rosacea

This topical rosacea treatment did exactly what it said it would. I experienced no negative side effects, like my skin getting worse when I started using it, and after just one month my rosacea was completely gone.

Metrolotion for Acne Rosacea

It took a few weeks to start seeing results, but it was worth the wait. Once it began working, I saw a significant difference. Consistency is key with this treatment.

Metrolotion for Acne Rosacea

I was very disappointed with this treatment. I saw no change in my redness after four weeks, and if anything, it might have gotten worse.

GX-03 for Eczema

18 - 70
All Sexes
Irving, TX

This is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GX-03, a topically applied emollient, in adult subjects with moderate to severe eczema. Approximately 120 adult participants will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either GX-03 or a petrolatum-based vehicle control for 8 consecutive weeks. Efficacy will be assessed using validated clinical outcome measures, including the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), the Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD™), and the Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS). Safety will be evaluated through monitoring of treatment-emergent adverse events throughout the study period.

Tailored Recommendations for Infant Gut Microbiome

No minimum age - 3
All Sexes
Austin, TX

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether microbiome analysis, education, and personalized recommendations can improve gut health and reduce early markers of immune-related conditions in infants aged 0-3 months delivered via Cesarean section. The study aims to determine whether these interventions can increase beneficial bacteria, decrease C-section-associated microbiome signatures, reduce opportunistic pathogens, and improve functional potential for HMO digestion and SCFA production. The study also seeks to assess whether improvements in microbiome composition are associated with a reduced prevalence of early atopic symptoms. Researchers will compare three groups: a full intervention arm that receives microbiome reports, coaching, personalized recommendations, and educational materials; a limited intervention arm that receives simplified reports and basic recommendations; and a control arm that receives no results until study completion. This design allows evaluation of both a comprehensive intervention and a more scalable, minimal-results model. Participants will: 1. Provide six microbiome stool samples over a 24-month period. 2. Provide additional small stool samples at two timepoints for exploratory metabolomic analysis. 3. Receive microbiome reports and guidance according to their assigned study arm. 4. Complete surveys on infant health history, symptoms, diet, and environmental exposures. 5. Participate in standardized eczema assessment(s) administered by a Nurse Practitioner and evaluated by a Pediatric Allergy Specialist if any symptoms are reported. This study seeks to demonstrate that targeted microbiome support can positively shift gut microbial development in C-section infants and may reduce risks linked to the early stages of the atopic march. Findings may inform scalable strategies for delivering microbiome-based support in early life and improve long-term health outcomes for this high-risk population.

Antibiotic Duration for Infections in Children

60 - 17
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

Infections like pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infection (also called SSTI or cellulitis), and urinary tract infections (UTI) are some of the most common reasons children get admitted to the hospital. All three of these conditions require antibiotics for treatment. Although antibiotics are needed to treat the infection and help children feel better, taking them longer than needed can negatively impact children and their families. Negative impacts include things like the burdens of taking more medications and medication side effects. There are guidelines (instructions) from expert medical organizations that suggest the number of days children need antibiotics, but they give a wide range (between 5 and 14 days). Unfortunately, these guidelines are not based on high-quality studies. National data suggests that doctors often choose on the higher end of this range when writing prescriptions for children in the hospital. Our three caregiver co-investigators, other parents of hospitalized children, doctors, other care providers, and researchers, all believe that additional study is needed to determine the best length of antibiotic treatment that weighs both the benefits and harms of antibiotics. The goal of our study is to understand if 5 total days of antibiotic treatment compared to 10 total days of antibiotic treatment is better for children who have been in the hospital for pneumonia, SSTI, or UTI. We will study this question through a randomized control trial. In other words, half of the children will receive 5-days of antibiotics and the other half will receive 10-days of antibiotics. Children in this study (and their caregivers) will not know how many days of antibiotics they will receive to cure their infection because some children will take a placebo (or a pill without antibiotics in it). Only the pharmacy will know if a child is getting antibiotic or placebo (for days 6-10 of treatment). During the first phase of the trial (feasibility phase), 4 hospitals will enroll children in the study. We plan on enrolling 50 patients during this phase. We are starting with just 4 hospitals, so our study team can create and update our study plans if needed. We will closely review information about how many patients and families agree to participate, and if they have any trouble completing any part of the study. We will also interview families to understand the choice to participate in the study, the choice not to participate in the study, and what it is like to be in the study. During the second study phase, we will enroll 1150 more patients across all 11 hospitals. Families will complete short, daily surveys until the 15th day after they started antibiotics, then a larger survey at day 15, at day 20, and at day 30. These surveys will ask about the child's symptoms and recovery from their illness, how the antibiotics are making them feel, and if they had to go back to their doctor, emergency room, or hospital. The answers to these questions will be combined to measure how well the child did, balancing feeling better and having bad effects from the antibiotics. We will use mathematical tests to determine which antibiotic duration is better for treating these illnesses. We will complete other mathematical tests to see if all children should receive the same length of antibiotics or if certain children should be prescribed shorter courses and others longer courses.

Intrapleural Enzyme Therapy for Pleural Infection

18+
All Sexes
Chapel Hill, NC

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if giving certain medications once a day works just as well as giving them twice a day to treat infections around the lungs (called pleural infections). These medications-tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and deoxyribonuclease (DNase)-are placed through a chest tube into the space between the lung and the chest wall to help clear out the infection. The investigators are trying to learn: * Does using the medicine once a day work just as well as using it twice a day? * Are there any differences in outcomes between patients who get the medicine once a day versus twice a day? * Does more or less fluid remain in the chest (seen on a chest x-ray) depending on how often the medicine is given? Participants will: * Have an infection around their lung and will already be getting normal hospital care, including a chest tube to drain the infected fluid around their lung. * Be asked to give permission to join the study. * Be randomly chosen (like flipping a coin) to get the medications either once a day or twice a day through the chest tube.

Dental Care for Pneumonia Prevention

60 - 100
All Sexes
Jefferson City, MO

The goal of this study is to learn if dental infection control treatment delivered to older adult nursing home residents at their place of residence will result in : * improved dental health * reduced risk of pneumonia * better glucose control for diabetic patients compared to the pre-project dental and general health evaluations of residents and the pre-project facility incidence of pneumonia. Dental infection control treatment includes treating gum infections, stopping or slowing decay with fluoride, and assisting residents with effective tooth brushing and denture cleaning daily. Previous studies indicate dental infections can be inhaled and cause pneumonia or make diabetes worse. A shortage of dentists has limited care for nursing home residents. This project will allow dental hygienists and specially trained dental assistants to treat nursing home residents using telehealth methods (computers, cameras, internet, and telephone) to talk and work with dentists in different locations.
