About 60% of the metronidazole is metabolized by oxidation to the main metabolite hydroxymetronidazole and a carboxylic acid derivative, and by glucuronidation. The metabolites show antibiotic and antiprotozoal activity in vitro. [62] Metronidazole and its metabolites are mainly excreted via the kidneys (77%) and to a lesser extent via the ...

Antibiotics such as metronidazole, tinidazole, cephamandole, latamoxef, cefoperazone, cefmenoxime, and furazolidone, cause a disulfiram-like chemical reaction with alcohol by inhibiting its breakdown by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which may result in vomiting, nausea, and shortness of breath. [62]
In both cats and dogs, giardiasis usually responds to metronidazole and fenbendazole. Metronidazole in pregnant cats can cause developmental malformations. [79] Many cats dislike the taste of fenbendazole. [79] Giardiasis has been shown to decrease weight in livestock. [7]
However, it's interesting to note that the link between metronidazole and disulfiram-like reactions is now being disputed (PMID 12022894, PMID 10676835). --Uthbrian 04:40, 21 January 2006 (UTC) I have been prescribed metronidazole for Crohn's disease, taking 400mg daily for nearly a year now.
