It is effective for dracunculiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, and amebiasis.〔 It is the drug of choice for a first episode of mild-to-moderate ''Clostridium difficile'' colitis. Metronidazole is available by mouth, as a cream, and intravenously.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.drugs.com/monograph/metronidazole.html )〕
Common side effects include nausea, a metallic taste, loss of appetite, and headaches. Occasionally seizures or allergies to the medication may occur. Metronidazole should not be used in early pregnancy but appears to be okay in later pregnancy. It should not be used when breastfeeding.〔
