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.
ispershedTrichomoniasis is an infection caused by the sexually transmitted bacteria Streptococcus pneumonia.
Trichomoniasis can lead to complications in both the physical and medical stages. These include pelvic pain, infertility, pelvic pain, and vaginitis. Vaginal tmesquina is a common type of infection that can lead to pain and inflammation in the vaginal wall, which can be treated by medications like Flagyl.
Men who have a uterus may also be susceptible to trichomoniasis. Vaginal tmesquina is found in both the vagina and the penis. Symptoms of trichomoniasis may include pelvic pain, infertility, pelvic pain, and symptoms such as pain spreading to the groin and around the upper part of the abdomen, and difficulty passing urine.
Anyone who develops a vaginal yeast infection during sexual activity should have a yeast swab sent to your local sexual health clinic. If your doctor cannot find symptoms, such as pain during sexual intercourse, pain spreading to the genitals, or irritation at the vaginal opening, offer medical advice and, in the case of an offer to you, may be for treatment.
Over-the-counter antifungal creams and ointments can be effective tools at controlling trichomoniasis. However, it's important to keep in mind that antifungal medications are not a cure for trichomoniasis and should be used with caution. Alternative treatments for trichomoniasis may include surgical procedures, anti-fungal creams, and over-the-counter antifungal medications.
Common side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. These usually lessen as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if these side effects persist or become bothersome, contact your healthcare provider.
If you get any side effects while taking antifungal creams or ointments, call your doctor immediately or seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as swollen glands, vaginal discharge, vaginal yeast infections, or pelvic pain. These symptoms may indicate a>:
