What is Trichozole (Metronidazole) used for?

Trichozole (Metronidazole) is a nitroimidazole antibiotic prescribed to treat a variety of bacterial and protozoa infections. It inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria and protozoa allowing the immune system to control or eliminate the infection. This medication is normally used to treat amoebic dysentery, pneumonia, or bacterial infections affecting the blood, bones, soft tissues, skin, urinary tract, or respiratory tract. Your physician may also prescribe it to treat other conditions that are not listed here.

How should I use Trichozole (Metronidazole)?

Trichozole (Metronidazole) should always be used according to your physician's instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The normal dosage is one tablet administered once or twice each day along with a large glass of water and a meal to prevent nausea. These are normally administered for a period of medication lasting one or two weeks to ensure the entire infection is eliminated. Never stop taking the medication before being told to do so, even if your symptoms have disappeared, as the infection may return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Do not change the form of the tablets by splitting, chewing, or crushing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your pharmacist or physician any questions you have about using the medication to ensure the correct administration.
