Effectiveness
How Nuvessa Affects PatientsMetronidazole is a medication used to treat amebiasis, trichomoniasis, and giardiasis. It has antibacterial and antiprotozoal properties and is effective against certain anaerobic bacteria. However, it does not work against most other types of bacteria or fungi. Metronidazole can cause nerve damage, convulsions, and numbness, especially when taken in high doses. It has also been found to be carcinogenic in mice and rats, though the effect on humans is unclear. It is important to only take metronidazole when necessary and only for its approved indications.
How Nuvessa works in the bodyMetronidazole is used to target anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. It does this by entering the cells of these organisms and blocking their ability to make DNA. Metronidazole is reduced in the cells, producing toxic metabolites that damage the DNA and make it difficult for the organisms to replicate.
When to interrupt dosage
The measure of Nuvessa is dependent upon the specified condition, including Exposure via partner, Skin and Curling Ulcer. The degree of dosage is indicated in the table beneath, contingent upon the approach of delivery (e.g. Capsule or Vaginal).Condition

Nuvessa Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe maximum toxic dose of metronidazole in rats is 5000mg/kg. Symptoms of an overdose include nerve damage, poisoning of the central nervous system, seizures, feeling sick after drinking alcohol, dark urine, a metallic taste in the mouth, nausea, stomach discomfort, dizziness, and low white blood cell count. There is no specific treatment for an overdose and treatment should involve providing supportive care and giving activated charcoal to help remove the unabsorbed drug from the digestive system. Contact the local poison control center for more information on how to manage a metronidazole overdose.

3Patient Review
3/16/2020 I had been struggling with BV for over a year when I was finally prescribed Nuvaessa. It worked great at first, and kept the infection away for three months! However, my body seems to have built up a tolerance to the medication because it now comes back much sooner after taking Nuvaessa.
