Effectiveness
How Vandazole Affects PatientsMetronidazole is used to treat certain types of bacterial and parasite infections. It works by damaging the DNA of the germs, making them unable to reproduce. It is mostly effective against anaerobic bacteria, but does not work against most other types of bacteria or parasites. It is important to be aware of the risk of convulsions and nerve damage that can occur when taking metronidazole, especially when taking large doses. If these side effects occur, the drug should be stopped immediately. Metronidazole has been linked to cancer in mice and rats, but it is not clear if this
How Vandazole works in the bodyMetronidazole is used to treat infections caused by certain bacteria and parasites. It is believed to work by blocking the production of essential molecules in these organisms, like DNA and electron-transport proteins. The drug enters cells and is then reduced to nitro radicals, which are toxic to anaerobic and microaerophilic organisms. This prevents the organisms from replicating, which eventually kills them.
When to interrupt dosage
The amount of Vandazole relies on the determined condition, for example Exposure via partner, Skin and Curling Ulcer. The measure of dosage fluctuates as per the technique of delivery (e.g. Capsule or Vaginal) featured in the table below.Condition

Vandazole Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe most toxic dose of metronidazole for rats is 5000mg/kg. Symptoms of an overdose may include nerve issues, confusion, seizures, a reaction to alcohol, dark urine, a bad taste in the mouth, nausea, stomach pain, and dizziness, as well as a reduced number of white blood cells. There is no specific antidote for metronidazole overdose, so treatments involve supportive care and taking activated charcoal to remove any unabsorbed drug from the stomach. People should also contact their local poison control center for more information on how to manage an overdose.

Vandazole Reviews: What are patients saying about Vandazole?
5Patient Review
3/29/2010 I saw a big difference after just one use, but I followed the instructions and used it for five days. I'm pretty confident that the infection is gone now.

1/27/2014 Unfortunately, this medication made my BV worse. It was very messy and I had to wear a mini pad constantly, which was really inconvenient. After using it for the recommended five days, my BV seemed worse than before I started taking the medication. I didn't experience any side effects, but at $15 per treatment, I feel like it should have been more effective. My doctor has now prescribed the pill form of flagyl (500 mg, 2x per day for 7 days) and I'm hopeful that it will clear up my BV.

9/8/2012 I got very dizzy and had pelvic cramping and nausea, and I didn't even drink any alcohol. I would rather be itchy!
