metronidazole and Vaginal Diseases

metronidazole has been researched along with Vaginal Diseases in 30 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.

Vaginal Diseases: Pathological processes of the VAGINA.

( Haverkorn, MJ, 1987)
"Some workers have suggested that the recurrence of symptoms may in fact be reinfection by male consorts, but no controlled studies have been undertaken to confirm this."2.66Should male consorts of women with bacterial vaginosis be treated? ( Alaksen, K; Bymose, B; Erkkola, R; Jerve, F; Moi, H; Nelleman, G; Tornqvist, E, 1989)
" Bacterial vaginosis responds readily to treatment with metronidazole at a dosage of 400 mg twice daily for seven days, although a proportion of patients suffer a recurrence of symptoms."2.38Bacterial vaginosis. ( Levett, PN, 1989)
"The term "metastatic" Crohn's disease is used to define the cutaneous lesions, distant from the gastrointestinal tract and separated from other ulcerations by normal skin, showing granulomatous histology."1.27[Cutaneous Crohn disease]. ( Bakos, L; Kuhl, IC; Wissbluth, ML; Zampese, MS, 1986)
