metronidazole and Rectal Diseases

metronidazole has been researched along with Rectal Diseases in 42 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.

Rectal Diseases: Pathological developments in the RECTUM region of the large intestine (INTESTINE, LARGE).

" Oral administration of poorly absorbed antibiotics was for a long time a common practice in preparing patients for elective clo-rectal operations."1.28[Preoperative topical antibiotics in patients subjected to short term prophylaxis for colorectal surgery]. ( Castoldi, R; Di Carlo, V; Di Palo, S; Ferrari, G, 1989)
"In the case reported, rectal ameboma was responsible for the patient's rectal pain, hematochezia and weight loss."1.27Rectal ameboma. ( Ossowski, EM, 1984)
