π Metronidazole - Puri Jankari
Drug Class
Nitroimidazole group ka antibiotic + antiprotozoal drug hai.
Brand names: Flagyl, Metrogyl, Metrozine
Mechanism of Action (Kaam Kaise Karta Hai?)
Metronidazole ek "pro-drug" hai:
- Anaerobic bacteria aur protozoa ke andar jaata hai
- Unke ferredoxin-like electron transport proteins se electron leta hai
- Isse reactive cytotoxic compounds bante hain
- Ye compounds bacteria/parasite ke DNA se bind kar lete hain aur unhe destroy kar dete hain
Key point: Oxygen wale organisms (aerobic) is drug se affect nahi hote - sirf anaerobic/microaerophilic organisms pe kaam karta hai
(Lippincott Pharmacology)
Uses / Indications (Kab Lete Hain?)
| Condition | Dose |
|---|---|
| Amoebiasis (E. histolytica) | 400-800mg TDS x 5-10 days |
| Giardiasis (Giardia lamblia) | 400mg TDS x 5 days |

Pharmacokinetics
- Oral absorption: Complete aur rapid - almost 100% bioavailable
- Distribution: Body ke saare fluids mein jaata hai - CSF, saliva, vaginal fluid, breast milk bhi
- Metabolism: Liver mein (hepatic oxidation + glucuronidation)
- Excretion: Urine mein
- β οΈ Severe liver disease mein accumulate ho jaata hai - dose adjust karo
(Lippincott Illustrated Reviews - Pharmacology)

- Alcohol se door rakho
- Metallic taste common hai - ghabrao mat
