Metronidazole lotion

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. 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, thereby acting on the DNA metabolism process of bacteria and promoting cell death.

(3) Allergic reactions, rash, urticaria, itching, etc. (4) Central nervous system symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, syncope, paresthesia, limb numbness, ataxia and mental confusion. (5) Others include fever, vaginal candidiasis, cystitis,

Precautions

It is contraindicated for patients who are allergic to this product or azole drugs and those with active central nervous system diseases and blood diseases.

Drug Interactions

When used in large quantities, this product may be absorbed through wounds and may produce drug interactions similar to those of systemic medications, such as inhibiting the metabolism of warfarin and other oral anticoagulants, interfering with disulfiram metabolism and serum aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase assay results, and combining it with liver microsomal enzyme inducers or inhibitors may speed up or slow down the metabolism of this product in the liver.

Storage

Keep away from light and store in a sealed container.
