Metronidazole crosses the placenta and enters the fetal circulation rapidly. Adequate and well-controlled studies in humans have not been done. ... However, the use of metronidazole in the treatment of trichomoniasis is not recommended during the first trimester. If metronidazole is used during the second and the third trimesters for trichomoniasis it is recommended that its use be limited to those patients whose symptoms are not controlled by local palliative treatment. Also, the 1 day course of therapy should not be used since this results in higher maternal and fetal serum concentrations.

Peripheral neuropathy, characterized by numbness, tingling, or paresthesia of an extremity, and convulsive seizures have been reported rarely with oral or IV metronidazole. Peripheral neuropathy is usually reversible if metronidazole is discontinued but may persist in patients who receive prolonged therapy or higher than recommended dosage of the drug. Dizziness, vertigo, incoordination, ataxia, confusion, irritability, depression, weakness, insomnia, headache, syncope, tinnitus, and hearing loss have also occurred with metronidazole. Headache occurred in 18% of nonpregnant women receiving oral metronidazole (administered as extended-release tablets) for bacterial vaginosis, and among those reporting headache, 10% described it as severe.

Urethral burning or discomfort, dysuria, cystitis, polyuria, incontinence, a sense of pelvic pressure, dryness of the vagina or vulva, dyspareunia, and decreased libido have been reported with oral metronidazole. Urine may be dark or reddish-brown in color following oral or IV administration of metronidazole due to the presence of water-soluble pigments which result from metabolism of the drug. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (or yeast vaginitis) was reported in 15% of nonpregnant women receiving oral metronidazole (administered as extended-release tablets) and in 12% of those receiving clindamycin phosphate (2% clindamycin) vaginal cream in a comparative study for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. Although a definite causal relationship to the drug has not been established, genital pruritus, dysmenorrhea, and urinary tract infection have been reported in 5, 3, and 2%, respectively, of nonpregnant women receiving oral metronidazole (administered as extended-release tablets) for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

Metronidazole is indicated for the treatment of confirmed trichomoniasis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis (except for in the first trimester of pregnancy) and the patient's sexual partners, bacterial vaginosis, certain types of amebiasis, and various anaerobic infections. The above anaerobic infections may occur on the skin and skin structures, the abdomen, the heart, reproductive organs, central nervous system, and the respiratory system. Some may also be present in the bloodstream in cases of septicemia. Common infections treated by metronidazole are Bacteroides species infections, Clostridium infections, and Fusobacterium infections, as well as Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus infections. It is also used off-label in the treatment of Crohn's disease and rosacea, as a prophylactic agent after surgery, and in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. It has also been studied in the prevention of preterm births and to treat periodontal disease.
Treatment of Helicobacter spp. infections
Metronidazole treats amebiasis, trichomoniasis, and giardiasis, exerting both antibacterial and antiprotozoal activities. Metronidazole is an effective treatment for some anaerobic bacterial infections. Metronidazole has shown antibacterial activity against the majority of obligate anaerobes, however, during in vitro studies, it does not demonstrate significant action against facultative anaerobes or obligate aerobes. The nitro group reduction of metronidazole by anaerobic organisms is likely responsible for the drug's antimicrobial cytotoxic effects, causing DNA strand damage to microbes. A note on convulsions and neuropathy and carcinogenesis It is important to be aware of the risk of peripheral neuropathy and convulsions associated with metronidazole, especially at higher doses. If convulsions or numbness of an extremity occur, discontinue the drug immediately. Metronidazole has been found to be carcinogenic in mice and rats. The relevance to this effect in humans is unknown. It is advisable to only administer metronidazole when clinically necessary and only for its approved indications.

Absorption
After the intravenous infusion of a 1.5g dose, peak concentration was reached within 1 hour and was peak level of 30-40 mg/L. When a multiple-dose regimen of 500mg three times a day administered intravenously, steady-state concentrations were achieved within about 3 days and peak concentration was measured at 26 mg/L. When administered orally in the tablet form, metronidazole is absorbed entirely absorbed, showing a bioavailability of greater than 90%. One resource indicates that Cmax after a single oral dose of 500mg metronidazole ranges from 8 to 13 mg/L, with a Tmax of 25 minutes to 4 hours. The AUC following a single 500mg oral dose of metronidazole was 122 10.3 mg/L h. A note on the absorption of topical preparations Insignificant percutaneous absorption of metronidazole occurs after the application of 1% metronidazole cream topically. Healthy volunteers applied one 100 mg dose of 14C-labelled metronidazole 2% cream to unbroken skin. After 12 hours, metronidazole was not detected in the plasma. Approximately 0.1% to 1% of the administered metronidazole was measured in the urine and feces.
Route of Elimination
Metronidazole and metabolites are 60 to 80% eliminated in the urine, and 6-15% excreted in the feces.
Volume of Distribution
Metronidazole is widely distributed throughout the body and various body fluids. They include the bile, saliva, breastmilk, cerebrospinal fluid, and the placenta. Steady-state volume distribution of metronidazole in adults ranges from 0.51 to 1.1 L/kg. It attains 60 to 100% of plasma concentrations in various tissues, such as the central nervous system, however, is not measured in high concentrations in the placental tissue.
Clearance
Dose adjustments may be required in patients with hepatic impairment, as clearance is impaired in these patients. The clearance of metronidazole in the kidneys is estimated at 10 mL/min/1.73 m2. The total clearance from serum is about 2.1 to 6.4 L/h/kg.
Well absorbed orally; bioavailability at least 80%.

At least 80% of an oral dose of metronidazole is absorbed from the GI tract. Following oral administration of a single 250-mg, 500-mg, or 2-g dose of metronidazole as immediate-release (conventional) preparations in healthy, fasting adults, peak plasma concentrations of unchanged drug and active metabolites are attained within 1-3 hours and average 4.6-6.5 ug/mL, 11.5-13 ug/mL, and 30-45 ug/mL, respectively. When a single 750-mg dose of metronidazole is administered as two 375-mg capsules or three 250-mg conventional tablets in healthy, fasting adult women, average peak plasma concentrations of unchanged drug and active metabolites of 20.4-21.4 ug/mL are attained in an average of 1.4-1.6 hours; metronidazole capsules and conventional tablets are bioequivalent at a single dose of 750 mg. The rate of absorption and peak plasma concentrations of metronidazole are decreased when conventional tablets or capsules of the drug are administered with food; however, the total amount of drug absorbed is not affected.

Following oral administration of metronidazole 750 mg once daily as the extended-release tablet for 7 consecutive days in healthy, adult women, steady-state peak plasma concentrations average 12.5 mcg/mL and are attained an average of 6.8 hours after the dose when the drug is given under fasting conditions; when the drug is given at the same dosage under nonfasting conditions, steady-state peak plasma concentrations average 19.4 mcg/mL and are attained an average of 4.6 hours after the dose. Administration of metronidazole extended-release tablets with food increases the rate of absorption and peak plasma concentrations of the drug. According to the manufacturer, metronidazole extended-release and conventional tablets are bioequivalent at a dose of 750 mg given under fasting conditions.

Metronidazole undergoes hepatic metabolism via hydroxylation, oxidation, and glucuronidation. The metabolism of metronidazole yields 5 metabolites. The hydroxy metabolite, 1-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-2-hydroxy methyl-5-nitroimidazole, is considered the major active metabolite. Unchanged metronidazole is found in the plasma along with small amounts of its 2- hydroxymethyl metabolite. Several metabolites of metronidazole are found in the urine. They are primarily a product of side-chain oxidation in addition to glucuronide conjugation. Only 20% of the dose found in the urine is accounted for by unchanged metronidazole. The two main oxidative metabolites of metronidazole are hydroxy and acetic acid metabolites.
Approximately 30-60% of an oral or IV dose of metronidazole is metabolized in the liver by hydroxylation, side-chain oxidation, and glucuronide conjugation. The major metabolite, 2-hydroxy metronidazole, has some antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity.

The liver is the main site of metabolism, and this accounts for over 50% of the systemic clearance of metronidazole. The 2 principal metabolites result from oxidation of side chains, a hydroxy derivative and an acid. The hydroxy metabolite has a longer half-life (about 12 hr) and nearly 50% of the antitrichomonal activity of metronidazole. Formation of glucuronides also is observed. Small quantities of reduced metabolites, including ring-cleavage products, are formed by the gut flora. The urine of some patients may be reddish-brown owing to the presence of unidentified pigments derived from the drug.

The elimination half-life of metronidazole is 7.3 1.0 after a single 500mg IV dose in healthy subjects. Another resource indicates that the elimination half-life for metronidazole ranges from 6 to 10 hours.
The plasma half-life of metronidazole is reported to be 6-8 hours in adults with normal renal and hepatic function. In one study using radiolabeled metronidazole hydrochloride, the half-life of unchanged metronidazole averaged 7.7 hours and the half-life of total radioactivity averaged 11.9 hours. The plasma half-life of metronidazole is not affected by changes in renal function; however, the half-life may be prolonged in patients with impaired hepatic function. In one study in adults with alcoholic liver disease and impaired hepatic function, half-life of metronidazole averaged 18.3 hours (range: 10.3-29.5 hours).

The exact mechanism of action of metronidazole has not been fully established, however, it is possible that an intermediate in the reduction of metronidazole which is only made by anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, binds deoxyribonucleic acid and electron-transport proteins of organisms, blocking nucleic acid synthesis. After administration, metronidazole enters cells by passive diffusion. Following this, ferredoxin or flavodoxin reduce its nitro group to nitro radicals. The redox potential of the electron transport portions of anaerobic or microaerophilic microorganisms renders metronidazole selective to these organisms, which cause nitro group reduction, leading to the production of toxic metabolites. These include N-(2-hydroxyethyl) oxamic acid and acetamide, which may damage DNA of replicating organisms.
Microbicidal; active against most obligate anaerobic bacteria and protozoa by undergoing intracellular chemical reduction via mechanisms unique to anaerobic metabolism. Reduced metronidazole, which is cytotoxic but short-lived, interacts with DNA to cause loss of helical structure, strand breakage, and resultant inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis and cell death.
Thomson/Micromedex. Drug Information for the Health Care Professional. Volume 1, Greenwood Village, CO. 2006., p. 2069
Metronidazole is bactericidal, amebicidal, and trichomonacidal in action. The exact mechanism of action of the drug has not been fully elucidated. Metronidazole is un-ionized at physiologic pH and is readily taken up by anaerobic organisms or cells. In susceptible organisms or cells, metronidazole is reduced by low-redox-potential electron transport proteins (e.g., nitroreductases such as ferredoxin) to unidentified polar product(s) which lack the nitro group. The reduction product(s) appears to be responsible for the cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of the drug which include disruption of DNA and inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. Metronidazole is equally effective against dividing and nondividing cells.

In in vivo studies in rats given metronidazole in dosages of 2-4 mg/100 g of body weight, the drug reportedly inhibited the development of formalin-induced edema in the rat paw. In vitro in neutrophils, metronidazole has a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on generation of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals, oxidants that may cause tissue injury at the site of inflammation. This antioxidant effect appears to be caused by a direct effect on neutrophil function and may contribute to the drug's anti-inflammatory effect in vivo.

Results of in vitro studies using leukocytes obtained from patients with Crohn's disease indicate that exposing the cells to metronidazole concentrations of 10 or 50 mcg/mL improved both spontaneous and induced leukocyte migration in cells that previously exhibited reduced migration; the drug had no effect on leukocytes obtained from healthy adults or patients with Crohn's disease when the cells exhibited normal migration prior to exposure to the drug. This effect on leukocyte migration also was observed in vivo in adults with Crohn's disease who received a single 400-mg dose of metronidazole. It has been suggested that metronidazole may increase leukocyte migration by a direct effect on the leukocytes, possibly by causing the release of surface-bound immune complexes from the cell surface.
