What is Flagyl (Metronidazole)?
Flagyl (metronidazole) is an antibiotic medication that is commonly used to treat bacterial infections in both humans and animals. Flagyl is sometimes used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including those that are not treated by medication. Flagyl may also be used for purposes other than those listed on this medication guide.
Flagyl comes in various forms, including tablets and suspension, and is usually given to humans when necessary. The standard dosage for humans is 400mg tablets daily, unless otherwise directed by your veterinarian.
While it is commonly used for humans, it is not suitable for pet dogs or animals. If you are pet dogs or animals, it is important to inform your veterinarian of any prior medical conditions or medications your pet is currently taking. Your veterinarian may prescribe something different for your pet, such as a liquid suspension, for pet dogs to use for drinking or other liquids. Your pet may need to take Flagyl for several days before they can be drinking or eating. It is also important to tell your veterinarian of any other medications your pet is taking, including vitamins and supplements.
Flagyl should not be given to animals for food or other activity that may impact their ability to breath. However, in some cases, pet dogs are able to use the medication without damage to their fur.
To be clear, Flagyl should only be given to pet dogs that are clinically healthy and alert. It is also important to tell your veterinarian of all medications your pet is currently taking to prevent the development of drug-drug interactions. It is important to complete the full course of treatment for Flagyl, even if you start to feel better before the medication is finished. If your pet does start to develop drug-drug interactions, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Flagyl is not a cure for bacterial infections in the dog or cat. Flagyl is effective against a wide range of infections that may be caused by bacteria, but it is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold, flu, or other illnesses that occur in body tissues. Flagyl is only effective against bacterial infections. The use of Flagyl for veterinary purposes is strictly prohibited.
Flagyl (metronidazole) is given as a pill to dogs, cats, and horses. The typical dosage for humans is 5 mg/lb given once a day. However, pet dogs can be given multiple doses in a day, depending on their condition and the veterinarian they trust.
How does Flagyl work?
Flagyl (metronidazole) is an antibiotic medication that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This stops the growth of bacteria from multiplying and therefore also prevents the infection from developing. Flagyl is bactericidal, meaning it stops the bacteria from growing. It kills the bacteria by stopping their growth.
Flagyl is most effective when given in high doses. It is important to give Flagyl for the entire prescribed length of time, even if your pet begins to show signs of improvement. When giving Flagyl to your pet, be sure to complete the full course of treatment even if your pet starts to show signs of improvement. If your pet does start to develop drug-drug interactions, talk to your veterinarian about ways to help prevent this. They may prescribe something different for your pet, such as a liquid suspension, for pet dogs to use for drinking or other liquids.
Flagyl should not be given to animals for food or other activity that may impact their ability to breathe.
Flagyl should not be given to animals for food or other activity that may increase the risk of addiction.
Flagyl is not an aphrodisiac, and therefore should not be given to animals to induce anaphylactic reactions.
Flagyl is a brand-name prescription antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the heart, blood, nervous system, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, lungs, joints, bones, and skin. Extended-release metronidazole is commonly prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections such as trichomoniasis.
As an antimicrobial, Flagyl cannot be used to treat viral infections. If Flagyl is being used to treat a sexually transmitted infection (like trichomoniasis), both sex partners should use the medication simultaneously. This helps reduce the risk of reinfection in either partner. Antimicrobials stop the growth of harmful microorganisms in the body, so simultaneous use in both partners of metronidazole will help prevent the infection from living on and being passed between partners.
Flagyl is supplied as an oral tablet or extended-release capsule. It contains the drug metronidazole, which is available in generic form. Flagyl is only available via prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.
