Question 1

What foods should I avoid while taking Metronidazole Tablets?

Accepted Answer

While taking Metronidazole tablets, avoid alcohol and foods or products containing propylene glycol. Combining these with Metronidazole can cause nausea, vomiting, flushing, and rapid heartbeat. You should also limit very spicy or greasy foods if your stomach feels sensitive, but there are no major food restrictions.

Question 2

Is it legal for U.S. patients to buy antibiotics from Canada?

Accepted Answer

U.S. patients may be able to import prescription antibiotics from licensed Canadian pharmacies for personal use, following FDA personal-use importation guidance. This is generally allowed if they have a valid U.S. prescription and the quantity is reasonable for personal use. Always use trusted, licensed pharmacies like Polar Bear Meds to ensure safety and authenticity.

Question 3

Can I take paracetamol and Metronidazole together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's generally considered safe to take paracetamol (acetaminophen) with Metronidazole for pain or fever. There are no known major interactions, but always check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Question 4

How quickly does Metronidazole start working?

Accepted Answer

Metronidazole 250 mg tablets usually begin to work within 24–48 hours of starting treatment, but this may vary by infection and patient. You may notice symptoms improving within a day, but it’s important to complete the full prescribed course to fully clear the infection and prevent it from coming back.

Question 5

Is Metronidazole better than ornidazole?

Accepted Answer

Both Metronidazole and Ornidazole are effective antibiotics for anaerobic bacterial infections and protozoal infections. Metronidazole is often prescribed first because it’s widely studied and available. Ornidazole has a longer half-life, so it may require fewer doses. Which is “better” depends on your infection, doctor’s advice, and dosing convenience.

Question 6

Can I buy Metronidazole over the counter?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot buy Metronidazole 250 mg tablets over the counter. It is a prescription-only antibiotic used to treat bacterial and parasitic infections. To buy it from Polar Bear Meds, you must provide a valid prescription before placing your order.
