Metronidazole was introduced into the Australian clinical practice in the 1980s and is still used today. Metronidazole is the first and a very effective modern bactericidal anti-anaerobic drug.

Despite the long practice of use, the frequency of pathogenic microorganisms resistance to Metronidazole remains at a low level. Therefore, this antibiotic is still the drug of choice, i.e. the best or the first agent that is used in the treatment or prevention of a particular condition.

Metronidazole forms, available in Australia today are:

• Metronidazole tablets for the prevention and treatment of infections, caused by anaerobic bacteria and other pathogens, sensitive to the antibiotic.
• Metronidazole cream and gel to reduce the symptoms and treat inflammatory lesions of rosacea.

Metronidazole 200 mg and 400 mg tablets are used to suppress vital functions of a huge number of microorganisms. Therefore, the daily dosage depends on the type and severity of the disease, for example:

• Bacterial vaginosis – 5 Metronidazole 400mg tablets at a time.
• Prevention of anaerobic infection before surgery – 400 mg Metronidazole every 8 hours.
• Intestinal infections – 800 mg Metronidazole 3 times a day.

Children and infants should use smaller doses, than adults should. The minimum and the average dosages of Metronidazole are well tolerated by the elderly and weakened patients.

The maximum antimicrobial activity is achieved in regular use of Metronidazole. Therefore, this drug should be taken as often and for as long, as the treatment implies. As a rule, the duration of bacterial infections treatment is 3-7 days.

For the treatment of rosacea, you can use Metronidazole gel or cream. Both forms of the antibiotic are available in Australia. Antimicrobial activity and the way of using the cream or gel are identical.

A thin layer of Metronidazole cream or gel is applied to the affected areas of the face or other parts of the body in the morning and evening. The duration of treatment is usually up to 4 months. If the skin lesion is heavy or weakly treatable, the duration of the medicine use is extended.

Metronidazole cream and gel are intended only for external application. Cream contact with the eyes causes irritation and lacrimation.
