Name : A
Description
Adequate and well-controlled human studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy (and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters).Mode of Action
Metronidazole is converted to reduction products that interact w/ DNA to cause destruction of helical DNA structure and strand leading to a protein synthesis inhibition and cell death in susceptible organisms. It is active against most anaerobic protozoa, some gm+ve, gm-ve and facultative anaerobes.Interaction
Concurrent use w/ disulfiram may produce psychotic reactions. May potentiate the effect of oral anticoagulants. May increase risk of lithium toxicity. May reduce the renal clearance resulting to increased toxicity of 5-fluorouracil. May increase serum levels of ciclosporin. May increase plasma levels of busulfan resulting to severe busulfan toxicity. Enhanced metabolism w/ phenobarbital and phenytoin resulting to decreased serum concentrations.Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of in pregnant women; there are published data from case-control studies, cohort studies, and 2 meta-analyses that include more than 5000 pregnant women who used metronidazole during pregnancy; many studies included first trimester exposures; one study showed increased risk of cleft lip, with or without cleft palate, in infants exposed to metronidazole in utero; however, these findings were not confirmed Metronidazole crosses placental barrier and its effects on human fetal organogenesis are not known; reproduction studies have been performed in rats, rabbits and mice at doses similar to maximum recommended daily dose based on body surface area comparisons; there was no evidence of harm to fetus due to metronidazole; healthcare provider should carefully consider potential risks and benefits for each specific patient before prescribing therapy Lactation Metronidazole is present in human milk at concentrations similar to maternal serum levels, and infant serum levels can be close to or comparable to infant therapeutic levels Because of potential for tumorigenicity shown for metronidazole in mouse and rat studies, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue drug, taking into account importance of drug to mother; alternatively, a nursing mother may choose to pump and discard human milk for duration of metronidazole therapy, and for 24 hours after therapy ends and feed her infant stored human milk or formulaAdult Dose
