Can pregnant women take metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets ?

Metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets can disintegrate rapidly in a small amount of body fluids, producing abundant foam that quickly distributes the drug in the cavity. They have a rapid effect and definite efficacy. They are a commonly used drug for the treatment of gynecological vaginitis caused by Trichomonas and anaerobic bacteria.

The main ingredient of metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets is metronidazole, which has broad-spectrum antiprotozoal and anti-anaerobic effects.

Metronidazole is mainly used clinically to prevent and treat infections caused by anaerobic bacteria, such as infections in the respiratory tract, digestive tract, abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity, skin and soft tissue.

From the above, it can be seen that metronidazole is the main active ingredient of metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets. However, since metronidazole is metabolized by the liver, the drug can accumulate in patients with insufficient liver function and the dosage should be reduced as appropriate. The use of metronidazole may also induce candidiasis. If necessary, anti-candida drugs can be used in combination. The most important thing about the use of metronidazole is that it is "forbidden for pregnant women."
