Get Flagyl (metronidazole) online prescriptions for bacterial infections

Flagyl is a brand-name prescription antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the heart, blood, nervous system, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, lungs, joints, bones, and skin. Extended-release metronidazole is commonly prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections such as trichomoniasis.

As an antimicrobial, Flagyl cannot be used to treat viral infections. If Flagyl is being used to treat a sexually transmitted infection (like trichomoniasis), both sex partners should use the medication simultaneously. This helps reduce the risk of reinfection in either partner. Antimicrobials stop the growth of harmful microorganisms in the body, so simultaneous use in both partners of metronidazole will help prevent the infection from living on and being passed between partners.

Flagyl is supplied as an oral tablet or extended-release capsule. It contains the drug metronidazole, which is available in generic form. Flagyl is only available via prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.

Doctors prescribe Flagyl as a treatment for bacterial or protozoal infections in various body parts.

Common types of bacterial infections include:

Bacterial vaginosis: Bacterial vaginosis–referred to as BV--is a change in the bacteria within the vagina. The vagina contains naturally occurring bacteria and fungi that help protect the area and keep it clean. When this balance is thrown off due to an overgrowth or change in the species of bacteria growing within it, it can result in bothersome symptoms such as abnormal and foul-smelling discharge, itching, and vaginal pain.

STIs: Certain sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea are caused by invasive bacteria. Common symptoms of these infections include pain during urination and abnormal discharge from the genitals.

Some specific indications for Flagyl include:

• Amoebic dysentery or amoebic liver abscesses
  
• Meningitis
  
• C. diff diarrhea
  
• Giardiasis
  
• H. pylori (the bug linked to ulcers)
  
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
