Always take Flagyl 400mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Never adjust the dosage without consulting them. Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment and for at least 48 hours after completing your course. Alcohol can cause a serious reaction with metronidazole.
Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Some medications, such as anticoagulants (blood thinners) and lithium, can interact with Flagyl. Your doctor may need to adjust dosages or monitor you more closely.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding require special attention. Discuss Flagyl use with your doctor before becoming pregnant, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding. It can potentially affect fetal development.
Flagyl can cause side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, metallic taste in the mouth, and dizziness. Report any unusual or persistent side effects to your doctor immediately. Severe allergic reactions are rare but require prompt medical attention.
Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience dizziness or drowsiness. Flagyl may impair your ability to perform these activities safely.
Store Flagyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
