Combining bismuth subcitrate, metronidazole, and tetracycline with any of the following medications is normally not advised, but may be necessary in some instances. If both medications are given simultaneously, your doctor may adjust the dose or frequency with which you take one or both of them. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are taking any other drugs for acne.
Aspirin, benzoyl peroxide, and retin-A (tretinoin) can all increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding if taken together. People who have had hemorrhoids, ulcers, or stomach problems before taking tetracycline may be at increased risk of developing complications from the combination. Avoid alcohol while taking tetracycline; it increases its effect on calcium metabolism. Don't use tobacco products during treatment with tetracycline; they contain nicotine which is toxic when taken with this medication.
Tetracyclines work by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause acne. Because antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria, they should not be used regularly to treat chronic conditions such as acne or rosacea. Long-term use may also lead to development of resistance to antibiotics among skin bacteria.
Bismuth, metronidazole, and tetracycline should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after consuming calcium-containing meals, such as dairy products and calcium-fortified beverages and foods. Even if you feel OK, keep taking this medicine. Do not stop taking it without first consulting your doctor. You may need to take it for a long time.
The bismuth, metronidazole, and tetracycline in this product can cause low blood pressure and slow heart rate. If you have any of these problems, or if you are allergic to bismuth, metronidazole, or tetracycline, do not take this product. Also, if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, do not take this product. The bismuth in the product can pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not take this product if you are also taking iron supplements because the two products may not mix well and you could get too much iron.
Metronidazole is used to treat infections caused by bacteria, while bismuth is used to treat infections caused by bacteria or viruses. By combining these two medicines, we can give you extra protection against infection. This product contains 500 mg of bismuth subsalicylate plus 250 mg of metronidazole. It is recommended that you take this product every day for life even if you are feeling fine.
Can other medications be taken together metronidazole? Unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise, use paracetamol or ibuprofen. Things you can only acquire with a prescription Before beginning metronidazole, inform your doctor and pharmacist of any other medications your kid is taking. Especially if your child is under 18, they should not use any pain relievers, including aspirin, naproxen (Aleve), or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). They should also not use anticoagulants such as warfarin (Coumadin).
There have been reports of children developing problems with their eyes after using methotrexate. Therefore, always check with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.
Contraindications with other medications Metronidazole cream or gel is not known to interact with other medications. Some medications, however, may not combine well with pills, suppositories, liquids, or vaginal gel. Before you start treatment, speak with your doctor if you are taking any other medications, because some may be altered by this drug while others can be combined safely with it.
The most common side effects of metronidazole are nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, skin reactions, photosensitivity, and anemia. These symptoms usually go away after stopping the medication but may be cause for concern if they do not. Your risk of developing these side effects will be higher if you have a history of any of the following: bone marrow problems, liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, seizure disorder, stroke, tuberculosis, viral infection, or immune system problem.
Rare but serious side effects include irritability, depression, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, sudden mood changes, trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, weight loss, dry mouth, tingling hands and feet, blue-black colored urine, lightening of the skin, and eyes. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately.
Metronidazole and amoxicillin can also be used combined to treat severe dental infections. While this combination is effective against most anaerobic bacteria, it does not kill all of them. Therefore, the treatment should be followed by a period of time without the medications so that any remaining bacteria will die off naturally.
Taking both medications at the same time may cause adverse effects. For example, people who take methotrexate (a medication used to treat cancer) along with amoxicillin or other antibiotics could become severely ill. There have been reports of patients developing a serious condition called toxic epidermal necrolysis after taking both medications at the same time.
Metronidazole and amoxicillin can also interact with each other in a negative way. The antibiotic amoxicillin inhibits the action of metronidazole by binding to certain parts of its structure. If you are taking both medications, avoid drinking alcohol while on therapy. Alcohol can increase the amount of amoxicillin in your body and cause adverse effects.
Amoxicillin/metronidazole combination products are available over-the-counter and by prescription only.
When an antibiotic is used when it is not required, it may become ineffective against future illnesses. Metronidazole may also be used in conjunction with other drugs to treat stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by bacteria (H. pylori). Taking too many medications at one time may cause side effects. For example, taking both a calcium channel blocker and a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist at once may cause heart failure.
Calcium channel blockers are used to control high blood pressure, prevent sudden cardiac death, and treat angina. They work by relaxing certain muscles in the body's blood vessels, which allows more blood to flow through them and reduces pressure. Calcium channel blockers can be taken alone or with other medications. Beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists block the effect of adrenaline on heart muscle cells. This class of medication is used to treat acute coronary syndrome, chronic stable angina, and heart failure. They work by slowing down the heart rate and reducing pain signals to the heart.
Both types of medication may be needed to treat severe cases of heart disease. Drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS may also be used to treat tuberculosis because these diseases use similar methods of infection spreading through the body. Medications used to treat malaria include quinine and artemisinin derivatives. These medications work by killing the parasites that cause malaria.
Because of the adverse effects of nausea, vomiting, and neurological toxicity, metronidazole should be given carefully. The drug must be infused slowly to reduce these side effects.
Nausea and vomiting are common side effects of metronidazole that can cause you to feel sick to your stomach and need to throw up. This is especially dangerous if you have any other medical conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes. Infusing metronidazole into a vein rather than taking it orally may help to prevent or reduce these side effects.
Neurological side effects include irritability, depression, confusion, and dizziness. These symptoms can be similar to those caused by alcohol or other drugs. If you experience any unusual behavior, talk to your doctor before you start treatment with metronidazole.
Metronidazole can cause serious side effects including anemia, changes in blood cell counts, impaired liver function, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, headache, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, tremors, difficulty breathing, and hallucinations. If you experience any of these symptoms while taking metronidazole, contact your doctor immediately.
