Abstract
Metronidazole, a medicine discovered in the late 1950 s is mainly an antibiotic active against anaerobes and protozoa. There are numerous side effects of metronidazole. Some interactions with other medicines enhance its activity, and some cause the decrease in activity and plasma concentration. A short review of its side effects, mechanisms of action and interactions with other medicines is provided. As resistance towards metronidazole occurred, these mechanisms are described as well. The data presented in the review were selected on the basis of relevancy, citation and age of the used references.Entities:
