Metronidazole capsules
Function and Efficacy
Metronidazole has a strong antibacterial effect on most anaerobic bacteria, but has no effect on aerobic bacteria and facultative anaerobes. The antibacterial spectrum includes Bacteroides fragilis and other Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium perfringens, Eubacterium, Veillonella, Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus. Its bactericidal concentration is slightly higher than the inhibitory concentration. In addition, it also has a strong killing effect on amoeba and Trichomonas. The bactericidal mechanism of metronidazole has not been fully elucidated. The nitroreductase of anaerobic bacteria plays an important role in the energy metabolism of sensitive strains. The nitro group of this product is reduced to a cytotoxin, which acts on the DNA metabolism process of bacteria and promotes cell death. The mechanism of anti-amoeba is to inhibit its redox reaction and break the nitrogen chain of the protozoa.

Adverse Reactions
1. The most serious adverse reactions of this product are epileptic seizures and peripheral neuropathy at high doses, the latter of which is mainly manifested as numbness and paresthesia of the extremities. In some cases, long-term use of the drug may cause persistent peripheral neuropathy. 2. Other common adverse reactions include: (1) Gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, taste changes, dry mouth, metallic taste in the mouth, etc. (2) Reversible neutropenia. (3) Allergic reactions, such as rash, urticaria, itching, etc. (4) Central nervous system symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, syncope, paresthesia, numbness of limbs, ataxia and mental confusion, etc. (5) Others include fever, vaginal candidiasis, cystitis, dysuria, dark urine color, etc., which are all reversible and will recover on their own after stopping the drug.

Drug Interactions
1. This product can inhibit the metabolism of warfarin and other oral anticoagulants, enhance their effects, and cause the prothrombin time to be prolonged. 2. When used in combination with drugs that induce liver microsomal enzymes, such as phenytoin sodium and phenobarbital, the metabolism of this product can be enhanced, the blood concentration can be reduced, and the excretion of phenytoin sodium can be slowed down. 3. When used in combination with drugs that inhibit the activity of liver microsomal enzymes, such as cimetidine, it can slow down the metabolism and excretion of this product in the liver, and prolong the blood elimination half-life (t1/2β) of this product. The dosage should be adjusted according to the results of blood drug concentration determination. 4. This product can interfere with the metabolism of disulfiram. When the two are used together, patients may experience mental symptoms after drinking. Therefore, those who have used disulfiram within 2 weeks should not use this product again. 5. This product can interfere with the determination results of serum aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase, and can reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
