Metronidazole 500mg Tablet Used For Men?

Updated

Is Metronidazole used for men? If I have BV is it possible that this could come from my partner since I only have one? And if so, is it necessary for him to be treated (to prevent possible reinfect ion of the bacteria) if I was diagnosed with BV?

Hello, Kim! How are you?

This is an antibiotic that can be used in both men and women.

Yes, there is a chance he may have a bacteria that has caused it and he should have it checked out to be sure.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?

The information you provided regarding usage and possible reinfect ion was very helpful. I went back to my gyn to find out I have an UTI. Is it possible that BV can lead to this type of an infection? Very interesting how one came after another. Does metronidazole ever get used for UTI?
