What Is Metronidazole Prescribed For?
I have recurring boils. After consultation, I started with coamoxiclav and clindamycin for boils. But i have nausea due to clindamycin. My doctor said to stop clindamycin and take metronidazole 500 mg 3x a day instead. Just wondering why he switched me to metronidazole?
