Metronidazole is an antimicrobial drug that is primarily active against obligate anaerobic microorganisms, both bacteria and protozoa. The 5-nitro group undergoes reductive transformation to an active intermediate which then exerts an inhibitory or lethal effect against DNA. Not only is DNA synthesis inhibited but the reduced metabolite also causes a loss of the helical structure of DNA with subsequent DNA strand breakage. In vitro, metronidazole demonstrates a consistently rapid bactericidal effect with the minimal bactericidal concentration approximating very closely to the minimal inhibitory concentration.

Metronidazole has been found to interact with alcohol, nicoumalone and warfarin, phenytoin, phenobarbitone, fluorouracil, disulfiram, lithium and cimetidine.
Metallic taste, furred tongue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, drowsiness, rashes and mild reversible leukopenia may be observed during treatment. It is thus a relatively safe drug although when used in large doses over several months a few cases of severe peripheral neuropathy have occurred.
When metronidazole has been administered during pregnancy, no adverse effects have been noted in the mother or foetus. However, it is recommended that metronidazole not be given during the first trimester of pregnancy and avoided during the later trimesters if possible. If use is deemed necessary, short high-dose regimen is recommended. The efficacy of metronidazole in serious anaerobic infections has to be weighed against potential, but unproved, mutagenic and teratogenic effects. From limited data, metronidazole appears to cross the placenta, as would be expected from its lipid solubility. Metronidazole penetrates well into breast milk. If exposure of the neonates to metronidazole is to be avoided, breast-feeding should be delayed until 48 hours after discontinuing metronidazole in the mother.
