Before you start using Flagyl in order to get rid of the diseases caused by anaerobic bacteria and parasites, study carefully the instruction list enclosed with the medicine. If you failed to understand something or you want to know more, your doctor or pharmacist are always ready to provide you with all required information. Pay special attention to the administration, dosage and precautions.
Note that Flagyl as well as the majority of antibiotic medicines is not supposed to be mixed with alcohol drinks. The reason for that lays not only in the effectiveness impairment but in the fact that metronidazole in combination with alcohol causes unwanted side effects, which include severe nausea, vomiting, flushing, cramps and headache. That is why do not use spirits 3 days before starting the cycle and make sure that other medicaments you use do not contain alcohol. And speaking about drugs, do not forget to tell your doctor about possible drug interaction in case you are taking some.
Inform your doctor if you suffer from HIV and AIDS, for metronidazole should not be combined with amprenavir, used in treatment of immunodeficiency disease. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid using Flagyl for it could harm the baby.
