Introduction
Metronidazole is a vital pharmaceutical API used in the treatment of various bacterial and parasitic infections. It belongs to the class of nitroimidazole antibiotics, which work by disrupting the DNA structure of susceptible microorganisms, leading to their death. Metronidazole is particularly effective against infections such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and certain types of anaerobic bacterial infections. Administered orally, topically, or via injection, dosages vary based on the specific infection and individual patient factors. While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include nausea, metallic taste, and allergic reactions. Regulatory adherence ensures stringent quality and safety standards during manufacturing, ensuring reliability in Metronidazole-containing pharmaceutical products.
