Does Flagyl Causes Depression Suicidal Tendencies?

My brother took a drug called Flagyl for a stomach infection. Midway through the treatment with this drug he became suicidal and killed himself. Please give me all the information you have about Flagyl and depression or suicidal ideation. Thank you. Susan

Hi,


Thanks for your post on HCM



I do understand your pain and discomfort



As per your history is concerned let me clarify that Flagyl tab contains metronidazole and it has no connection with depression at all. Depression is a different term and it has many causes so you may consult with a psychiatric in your local area.



Hope that helps
