Precautions Long-term use of the drug requires monitoring of the blood count. If a patient develops leukopenia, it is important to carefully balance the expected benefit of continuing treatment with the possible risk. It is necessary to be aware of the risk of deterioration in the neurological status of patients with severe, chronic or acute neurological diseases in the treatment of metronidazole. Patients with permanent or progressive neuropathies should be given metronidazole very carefully. It is necessary to stop treatment if ataxia, dizziness, hallucinations appear, and if the patient's neurological status worsens. Metronidazole is able to immobilize treponemas, resulting in a false positive Nelson test.

Use of the drug in children The drug is contraindicated in children under 18 years of age. Interaction with other drugs If you are currently or have recently taken other drugs, tell your doctor. When used simultaneously with indirect anticoagulants (for example, warfarin), metronidazole enhances their effect and the risk of bleeding by reducing its metabolism in the liver, which leads to an increase in prothrombin time. More frequent monitoring of prothrombin time and INR monitoring is needed, dose adjustment of oral anticoagulants during treatment with metronidazole and 8 days after withdrawal. It is not recommended to combine with non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (for example, vecuronium bromide). Similar to disulfiram, it causes ethanol intolerance. The simultaneous use of metronidazole with disulfiram can lead to the development of various neurological syndromes (depression of consciousness, the development of mental disorders). Under the influence of barbiturates (for example, phenobarbital), the effectiveness of metronidazole is reduced by accelerating its inactivation in the liver. With simultaneous use with cimetidine, the level of metronidazole in the blood serum may increase and the risk of adverse reactions increases. When taken simultaneously with lithium preparations, the concentration of the latter in plasma may increase. With simultaneous use with fluorouracil, the toxic effect is enhanced, but not the effectiveness of fluorouracil.
