metronidazole and Nausea

metronidazole has been researched along with Nausea in 39 studies

Metronidazole: A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS.
metronidazole : A member of the class of imidazoles substituted at C-1, -2 and -5 with 2-hydroxyethyl, nitro and methyl groups respectively. It has activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, and has a radiosensitising effect on hypoxic tumour cells. It may be given by mouth in tablets, or as the benzoate in an oral suspension. The hydrochloride salt can be used in intravenous infusions. Metronidazole is a prodrug and is selective for anaerobic bacteria due to their ability to intracellularly reduce the nitro group of metronidazole to give nitroso-containing intermediates. These can covalently bind to DNA, disrupting its helical structure, inducing DNA strand breaks and inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis, ultimately resulting in bacterial cell death.

Nausea: An unpleasant sensation in the stomach usually accompanied by the urge to vomit. Common causes are early pregnancy, sea and motion sickness, emotional stress, intense pain, food poisoning, and various enteroviruses.

"Anecdotal reports suggest that metronidazole may have disease modifying activity in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis."9.07Double blind, placebo controlled study of metronidazole as a disease modifying agent in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. ( Capell, HA; Hunter, JA; Marshall, DA, 1992)

( Koltun, W; Morgan, FG; Nyirjesy, P; Schwebke, JR, 2017)
"Patients with locoregional advanced laryngeal cancer (stage T3-4,N0-3,M0) were included: group 1(control, n=30)were not administered of sodium glycididazole; group 2 (test, n=30) received sodium glycididazole at a dose of 700 mg/m(2) intravenous infusion 30 minutes before radiotherapy three times a week."2.75Safety and radiation-enhancing effect of sodium glycididazole in locoregionally advanced laryngeal cancers previously treated with platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens: A preliminary report.

" In addition, the number and the type of adverse events induced by the two regimens were compared, assuming better tolerability of the intravaginal application."2.73Intravaginally applied metronidazole is as effective as orally applied in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, but exhibits significantly less side effects. ( Abels, C; Brandt, M; Hoyme, UB; Lohmann, K; May, T; Schmidts-Winkler, I, 2008)

"Metronidazole, used for prevention and treatment of infections in oral and maxillofacial surgery is frequently prescribed three times daily, but research into its pharmacokinetics has shown that a twelve hourly dosage regimen achieves and maintains therapeutic serum concentrations."2.67Metronidazole: two or three times daily--a comparative controlled clinical trial of the efficacy of two different dosing schedules of metronidazole for chemoprophylaxis following third molar surgery. ( Earl, PD; Lloyd, CJ, 1994)
"To evaluate two triple-therapy (TT) regimens of colloidal bismuth subcitrate (CBS), metronidazole, and tetracycline HCl in eradicating Helicobacter pylori, with particular attention to the frequency of resulting adverse effects of the two therapies."2.67Use of high efficacy, lower dose triple therapy to reduce side effects of eradicating Helicobacter pylori. ( Andrews, P; Borody, TJ; Brandl, S; Ferch, N; Hyland, L; Jankiewicz, E, 1994)
"Seventy-eight patients with active Crohn's disease participated in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial."2.65A comparative study of metronidazole and sulfasalazine for active Crohn's disease: the cooperative Crohn's disease study in Sweden.

" In the recommended dosage nitrimidazine is inferior to metronidazole, but is sufficiently effective to be useful in cases of intolerance to metronidazole."2.64Nitrimidazine compared with metronidazole in the treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis. ( Catterall, RD; Evans, BA, 1971)
"Three drugs have been advocated for the treatment of giardiasis; furazolidone (Furoxone), metronidazole (Flagyl), and quinacrine (Atabrine)."2.36Treatment of giardiasis: literature review and recommendations. ( Lerman, SJ; Walker, RA, 1982)
