Metronidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial medication belonging to the nitroimidazole class. It is effective against a variety of infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Metronidazole works by entering the microbial cell, where it is reduced to a reactive intermediate that interferes with DNA synthesis, leading to cell death. This mechanism makes it particularly useful in treating conditions such as amoebiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and infections caused by anaerobic bacteria. The 60 ml suspension form of Metronidazole is commonly used for pediatric patients or those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. The dosage is typically based on the patient's weight and the specific condition being treated. As with all medications, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider regarding potential side effects and interactions with other medications
