MOA: Activity against most obligate anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Activated by mechanisms unique to anaerobic metabolism. -Activated metronidazole, is cytotoxic but short-lived, interacts with DNA to cause a loss of helical structure, strand breakage, and resultant inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis and cell death. ADR: -Disulfiram-like reaction Abdominal discomfort (7%) -Loss of appetite -Metallic taste -Nausea and vomiting (4%) |
