About this Medication

Metronidazole is an antimicrobial medication used to treat infections caused by certain parasites and harmful bacteria. On this page, the focus is metronidazole for trichomoniasis (sometimes called “trich”). Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection that can spread from person to person through sexual contact.

Flagyl is a well-known brand-name version of metronidazole. Your provider may prescribe the generic form or issue a Flagyl prescription based on your medical history and what is appropriate for your symptoms.

Metronidazole may be used for:

  • Trichomoniasis

  • Bacterial vaginosis

  • Certain gastrointestinal tract infections

  • A wide variety of infections caused by susceptible organisms

Metronidazole does not treat viral infections. If your signs and symptoms may be caused by another sexually transmitted infection, a respiratory tract infection, a skin infection, a bacterial infection, or another condition, your provider may recommend testing, in-person care, or a different prescription medication.

Yes. Once approved, your prescription is sent electronically to the pharmacy you select.

Metronidazole may start helping within a few days. Some symptoms may improve quickly, but you should still take the full amount exactly as prescribed. If your signs and symptoms do not improve or return after treatment, contact a healthcare professional for follow-up testing or a new evaluation.

No, you should avoid alcohol while taking metronidazole and for the period recommended after your last dose. Alcohol can cause unpleasant reactions with Flagyl or generic metronidazole, including nausea, vomiting, flushing, headache, and stomach cramps. Your provider or pharmacist can tell you how long to avoid alcohol based on your treatment plan.

Yes, your sexual partner should be evaluated and treated to reduce the risk of reinfection. Trichomoniasis can spread from person to person during sex, and some people have no signs and symptoms. If only one partner takes trichomoniasis medication, the infection may come back after sexual contact resumes.

If you miss a dose, follow the instructions from your provider or pharmacist. In many cases, you may be told to take the missed dose when you remember unless it is close to your next dose. Do not double up unless a healthcare professional tells you to. Missed doses may make treatment less effective.

Yes, trichomoniasis can come back after treatment. Reinfection is possible, especially when a sexual partner has not been treated. Condoms, partner treatment, and avoiding sex until treatment is complete can reduce the risk. Sexually active women are often advised to retest about 3 months after treatment.

One-dose treatment may be enough in some cases, but it is not the right choice for everyone. Treatment decisions can vary based on sex, symptoms, medical history, pregnancy status, prior infection, and provider judgment. Women are often treated with a multi-day metronidazole regimen. Your online doctor will decide which treatment plan is appropriate.

Yes, adults 18 and older may be able to get an online metronidazole prescription after a licensed provider reviews their health information. With 24hrdoc, you can request STD treatment online, complete a medical questionnaire, and have your request reviewed by an online doctor. If approved, your prescription medication can be sent to a local pharmacy.
