Flagyl is active against both anaerobic bacteria AND protozoa. We really
don't know how it works for either bacteria or protozoa.
Unlabeled uses: CDC recommended dose for Giardiasis is 250mg 3 times daily
for 7 days.
Patient Info:
May cause GI upset; take with food.
Avoid alcoholic beverages, if taken may cause unpleasant reaction.
May cause darkening of the urine
An unpleasant metallic taste may be noticeable.
I hope this clears up the issue some.
