Hi,
Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat a wide variety of infections. It acts only on certain bacterial and parasitic infections. Dizziness, headache, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation or metallic taste in the mouth may occur as side effects. Kindly complete the course of the antibiotic as prescribed and do the necessary follow-up with your doctor.
