Is It Safe To Take Metronidazole For Stomach Discomfort Due To C-diff?
I have had a serious case of c-diff 3 months ago and went through the hospital care to treat it. I ve been having some stomach problems the last 6 days and think it may be a mild case reoccurring. My MD over phone today prescribed metronidazole. I m wondering if it will be safe to take this. I didn t get the opportunity to talk to him about this.
Hello dear user! I have gone through your query and understood your concerns! Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic. First of all you have to know that any other antibiotic that you may be taking already should be taken into consideration because it may be the trigger cause of C-difficile. The treatment for this condition is METRONIDAZOLE. It is safe and has good results in this disease. Vancomycin would be another solution, but it should be used as the last weapon. Probiotics use, would help a lot to recover quicker, because they rearrange the bacterial flora in your intestine. I hope this answer was helpful to you! Please kindly rate it and write a short review about your experience with me! Thank you and best regards! DR ERIOL.
