FRAGMENTO
El metronidazol es un agente sintético antibacteriano y antiparasitario que se encuentra clasificado dentro de la clase de nitroimidazoles, y cuyo uso en la práctica clínica ya tiene más de 35 años. Su indicación original fue para el tratamiento de infecciones provocadas por
Trichomonas vaginalis, pero con el paso del tiempo se ha ido ampliando el espectro de su acción, utilizándose hoy en día en el tratamiento de una variedad de infecciones provocadas por diferentes tipos de organismos. El metronidazol inicialmente fue aprobado por la asociación de alimentos y drogas de Estados Unidos (FDA) para uso humano en 1963, se encuentra disponible en formulación oral, parenteral, vaginal y tópica.
