What is the Metronidazole dosage?
You should take Metronidazole as directed by your doctor. Only take the amount of Metronidazole that has been prescribed by your doctor and do not take it for longer than the recommended course. Dosage will vary from person to person. Dosage depends on the strength of the medication, the length of the course and the condition which is being treated. For treating bacterial infections in adults and teenagers, the dosage is based on body weight. It is usually 7.5mg per kg of body weight four times per day for. The maximum amount is 1gram per kg of body weight and it should be taken for at least seven days. You should continue taking your medication for the entire course as symptoms may improve before the infection has been treated completely. Do not break, crush or chew the extended release form of Metronidazole as it is intended to be released into the body slowly and this could cause an excess of medication to be absorbed too quickly by the body. Tablets should be taken one hour before
