The patient must be informed that if irritation occurs, he must use Metronidazole Same less frequently or temporarily suspend therapy and inform the doctor.

Since the drug is a nitroimidazole derivative, it must be used with caution in patients with blood dyscrasias or with anamnestic data relating to them.

Interactions Metronidazole Same 1 % 30 g gel - Which medicines or foods can modify the effect of Metronidazole Same 1 % 30 g gel?

The effect of topical metronidazole on prothrombin time is not known.
