Frequently asked questions

What is Metronidazol Polpharma used for?+
Metronidazol Polpharma contains metronidazole and is prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis and other anaerobic infections of the vagina. It works locally to eliminate the microorganisms responsible for these conditions, helping to restore normal vaginal flora and relieve symptoms such as discharge, odor and irritation.
How does metronidazole work?+
Metronidazole enters anaerobic bacteria and protozoa and is reduced to reactive nitro radicals. These radicals damage DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death. The drug selectively targets organisms that thrive in low‑oxygen environments, sparing most aerobic cells.
What is the usual dose of Metronidazol Polpharma?+
The dosage of Metronidazol Polpharma is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific infection, severity and patient characteristics. Typical regimens vary, and the prescriber will provide detailed instructions on the amount, frequency and duration of therapy.
Is Metronidazol Polpharma safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for metronidazole in pregnancy are limited, and the product should be used only when clearly needed. It is excreted in breast milk, so caution is advised for nursing mothers. The prescriber should weigh potential benefits against possible risks before initiating therapy.

How does Metronidazol Polpharma compare with other treatments for bacterial vaginosis?+
Metronidazole is a first‑line nitroimidazole antibiotic widely recommended for bacterial vaginosis because of its proven efficacy against anaerobic organisms. Alternatives such as clindamycin or tinidazole may be used, but metronidazole offers a well‑established safety profile and is often preferred for its oral and vaginal formulations.
How should Metronidazol Polpharma be stored and handled?+

How is Metronidazol Polpharma administered?+
Metronidazol Polpharma is applied directly to the vagina, typically as a cream, gel or suppository, according to the prescriber’s instructions. The patient should follow the recommended duration of treatment and avoid sexual intercourse or tampon use if advised, to ensure optimal therapeutic effect.
What are the most serious risks to watch for with Metronidazol Polpharma?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, include seizures, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, peripheral neuropathy and anaphylaxis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience neurological symptoms, widespread rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or any signs of an allergic reaction.
Who should not use Metronidazol Polpharma?+
Metronidazol Polpharma should be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole compounds. Caution is also advised for patients with severe liver impairment, those who consume alcohol heavily, and pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
