cns side effects of mnd
Peripheral neuropathy, characterized by numbness, tingling, or paresthesia of an extremity, and convulsive seizures have been reported rarely with oral or IV metronidazole. Peripheral neuropathy is usually reversible if metronidazole is discontinued but may persist in patients who receive prolonged therapy or higher than recommended dosage of the drug. Dizziness, vertigo, incoordination, ataxia, confusion, irritability, depression, weakness, insomnia, headache, syncope, tinnitus, and hearing loss have also occurred with metronidazole. Headache occurred in 18% of nonpregnant women receiving oral metronidazole (administered as extended-release tablets) for bacterial vaginosis, and among those reporting headache, 10% described it as severe.
