Metronidazole is used to treat skin infections, rosacea, and mouth infections. It works by diffusing into bacteria and inhibiting protein synthesis, interacting with DNA and causing loss of helical structure and strand breakage. Contraindications include a history of hypersensitivity and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Common adverse reactions are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and metallic taste. As a nurse, it is important to monitor patients for signs of infection, obtain cultures before treatment, and monitor for adverse reactions like rashes, nausea, and neurological symptoms.
