Metronidazol Aurobindo

Metronidazole, the active ingredient in Metronidazol Aurobindo, is a nitroimidazole antibiotic presented as a 0.75% gel for topical (cutaneous) use. It treats rosacea, acne vulgaris and other superficial skin infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria in adults and is applied directly to the affected skin areas.

GNH USA supplies Metronidazol Aurobindo as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, with a focus on quality assurance and regulatory compliance across EU and global markets.

Metronidazole is used topically to manage conditions involving anaerobic skin bacteria and inflammatory lesions. - Rosacea: reduces inflammatory papules and erythema, improving facial appearance. - Acne vulgaris: decreases lesion count and severity by targeting Propionibacterium acnes. - Superficial skin infections: treats bacterial infections such as folliculitis and impetigo caused by susceptible anaerobes.

Topical metronidazole may cause a range of local and systemic adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: mild redness or itching at the application site. - Dryness: temporary dryness or flaking of treated skin. - Burning sensation: transient burning or stinging after application. - Pruritus: occasional itching unrelated to underlying condition.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic dermatitis: severe rash, swelling, or hives indicating hypersensitivity. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare but life‑threatening mucocutaneous reaction. - Neurotoxicity: peripheral neuropathy or seizures in extreme systemic absorption. - Methemoglobinemia: rare blood disorder causing cyanosis.

When using Metronidazol Aurobindo, several precautions should be observed to ensure safety and effectiveness. - Contraindication: avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to metronidazole or other nitroimidazoles. - Pregnancy: use only if clearly needed; safety data are limited. - Breastfeeding: discontinue if infant shows signs of gastrointestinal disturbance. - Drug interactions: avoid concurrent alcohol consumption due to disulfiram‑like reaction. - Application site: do not apply to broken skin or mucous membranes. - Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Metronidazol Aurobindo can interact with several systemic medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Alcohol: may cause severe flushing, nausea, and vomiting (disulfiram‑like reaction). - Warfarin: increased anticoagulant effect, raising risk of bleeding. - Lithium: elevated lithium levels, potentially causing toxicity. - Central nervous system depressants: enhanced sedative effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Oral contraceptives: reduced effectiveness, consider additional contraception. - Phenytoin: may decrease metronidazole plasma levels, reducing efficacy. - Cimetidine: can increase metronidazole concentrations, requiring monitoring.
