Interactions
- Disulfiram: Patients who use metronidazole and disulfiram at the same time have reported psychotic reactions.
- Alcohol: alcoholic beverages and alcohol-containing drugs should not be consumed during treatment and for at least one day after treatment, because disulfiram-like reactions (anti-abuse effects) (flushing, vomiting, tachycardia) may occur.
- Oral anticoagulant therapy (warfarin type): The anticoagulant effect is enhanced, and the liver catabolism is reduced, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. In the case of co-administration, prothrombin time should be monitored more frequently and anticoagulant therapy should be adjusted during metronidazole treatment.
- Lithium: Metronidazole can increase the content of lithium in the plasma.
- Cyclosporine: When co-administration is required, serum cyclosporine and serum creatinine should be closely monitored.
- Phenytoin or phenobarbital: increased elimination of metronidazole leads to decreased plasma levels.
- 5 Fluorouracil: The clearance rate of 5 Fluorouracil is reduced, which increases the toxicity of 5 Fluorouracil.
- Busulfan: Metronidazole may increase the plasma concentration of busulfan, which can cause severe busulfan toxicity.
Contraindications
Patients who have a history of allergy to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole derivatives should not use metronidazole.

Because animal reproduction studies do not always predict human response, the drug should be used during pregnancy only when clearly necessary. Metronidazole has been shown to be excreted in human milk. Therefore, caution should be exercised when administering metronidazole to lactating women.
