✅ Metronidazole is effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain protozoa due to its DNA-disrupting mechanism. ✅ Metronidazole is commonly used for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), as well as other anaerobic bacterial infections and protozoal infections like trichomoniasis and amebiasis. ✅ A metallic taste in the mouth is a common side effect of Metronidazole. Other side effects include nausea, vomiting, and peripheral neuropathy with prolonged use. ✅ Metronidazole is contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy due to potential teratogenic effects. ✅ Patients on Metronidazole should avoid alcohol during and for at least 48 hours after treatment to prevent a disulfiram-like reaction (nausea, vomiting, flushing).
