Flagyl Drug Information
Updated5 Replies
flagyl is technically used for stomach and bowel problems and usually used for bacterial infections within your gastrointestinal tract. I don't really think flagyl will help with an upper respiratory infection. its better to use something like over the counter drugs like non-drowsey benadrlly, or use home remadies like hot humidifires and prepare warm soups and drinks.
no it doesnt work with upper respiratory infection bcz its antiamebia not antibacterial
Flagyl is an antibiotic and active against parasites as well. The specific bugs that it targets are known as anaerobes, those that survive best in areas of low oxygen.
Therefore it is not useful in conditions of the upper resp tract which is highly oxygenated!

Now, it is most commonly used to treat genital infections, but it can be used to treat others, as well.
The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and diarrhea.
Are there any other questions?
How long does it take for a 500 mg tablet of flagyl to start helping with pain for diverticulitis?
