How does metronidazole work?+
Metronidazole enters anaerobic microorganisms and is reduced to nitro radicals. These reactive species damage DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, leading to bacterial or protozoal cell death while sparing most aerobic cells.
What is the usual dose of Metronidazol Chema?+
The dosage of Metronidazol Chema is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the infection type, severity, patient weight, renal and hepatic function, and local treatment guidelines. Patients should follow the exact regimen provided by their healthcare professional.
Is Metronidazol Chema safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
