When intravaginal application is particularly active against Candida albicans, to a lesser extent - against Candida glabrata.
PHARMACOKINETICS
After intravaginal administration, the bioavailability of metronidazole is 20% compared to oral administration. After intravaginal administration, it undergoes systemic absorption (about 56%). Metabolized in the liver by hydroxylation, oxidation and glucuronation. The activity of the main metabolite (2-hydroxymethonidazole) is 30% of the activity of the parent compound. T 1/2 is 6 to 12 hours. It is excreted by 40-70% (about 20% unchanged) through the kidneys. Systemic absorption of fluconazole with intravaginal application is very low, fluconazole in plasma is not detected; pharmacokinetics were not studied.
INDICATIONS
- bacterial vaginosis;
- nonspecific vaginitis;
- Vaginitis of various etiologies (Trichomonas, Candidiasis, Gardnerella, and also caused by mixed infections).
DOSING MODE
Intravaginal, 1 suppository in the evening (before bedtime), for 10 days.

DRUG INTERACTION
With the simultaneous use of metronidazole with ethanol, disulfiramide-like reactions occur. With the simultaneous use of metronidazole with disulfiram, there may be abnormalities from the CNS (mental reactions).
With the simultaneous use of metronidazole increases the effect of indirect anticoagulants.
With simultaneous use with lithium preparations, an increase in lithium toxicity can be observed.
Phenytoin and phenobarbital accelerate the metabolism of metronidazole due to the induction of microsomal liver enzymes, the concentration of metronidazole in the blood decreases.
Cimetidine reduces the metabolism of metronidazole, which can lead to an increase in its concentration in the blood serum.
The interaction of fluconazole with other drugs in the intravaginal route of administration has not been studied.
