METRONIDAZOLE IN CLINICAL PRACTICE
Metronidazole is effective for the management of anaerobic
infections, such as intra-abdominal infections, gynecologic infections,
septicemia, endocarditis, bone and joint infections,
central nervous system infections, respiratory tract infections,
skin and skin-structure infections, and oral and dental infections.
Metronidazole is also used as prophylaxis before abdominal
and gynecological surgical procedures to reduce the risk
of postoperative anaerobic infection.
