This drug is another antibiotic useful in treating infections and is extremely powerful in fighting bacteria. Generic Flagyl Metronidazole is typically preferred to combat abdominal infections, skin infections, treat joint infections and also those relating to the respiratory tract.   This medicine is very effective particularly against anaerobic bacteria and specific parasites. That is because such bacteria have a single cell and thrive in an environment that is bereft of oxygen. So they invade the abdomen causing bacterial peritonitis or the liver causing an abscess and in women invade the vagina leading to vaginitis. Generic Flagyl works by selectively and effectively blocking the important functions of the bacterial cell wall leading to their elimination and in this manner is extremely effective in treating skin infections and joint infections.   This medicine is typically prescribed for treating Giardia infections pertaining to the small intestine and any infection of the colon that leads to a bloody passing of stools. In women, vaginosis and trichomonas vaginal infections are very effectively treated using Generic Flagyl. Metronidazole is either taken alone or along with other similar antibiotics to treat liver abscesses and also any swellings caused due to the anaerobic bacteria in the pelvis and brain.   The gel form is particularly useful in treating vaginosis as it can be topically applied in the inner walls of the vagina where the bacteria seem to concentrate and multiply.   Precautions to be observed before and while taking the course of Generic Flagyl   Inform the doctor about any previous history of allergy, liver disorders or epilepsy seizures. Avoid alcohol as it can combine with the medicine and cause severe nausea, cramps and headache. Inform the doctor if you are already taking any blood thinners since Generic Flagyl can aggravate and cause greater thinning of the blood due to its interaction with drugs like Warfarin. This may lead to severe bleeding even with a small bruise or cut. Avoid using this medicine if you are in the early stages of pregnancy, since the medicine can have an adverse effect on the fetus. Nursing mothers are also advised not to take this medicine for fear of the medicine getting passed on to the infant through breast milk. Patients suffering from any liver disorders must indicate this to the doctor as the effect of Generic Flagyl can get diluted since it is the liver that takes care of removing Metronidazole from the system   Availability and Strength   This medicine is available on prescription in the form of tablets in strengths of 250 and 500mg, capsules in strength of 750mg and also as lotion, gel and injections.
