How Long Does Difficulty Breathing Last After Taking Metronidazole?
Question: How long would a slight difficulty of breathing last after taking one 400 metronidazole five hours before dinner and having an ale with dinner
Brief Answer:
Will last for 48hrs at the most
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your query and concern.
Metronidazole can cause idiosyncratic reactions like difficulty in breathing (in your case) in few sensitive individuals.
This can be accelerated in presence of ale/yeast extracts due to superimposed drug interactions/metabolism.
In most cases, this effect of mild difficulty in breathing lasts for 24-48 hrs and will wane off gradually.
Thank you.
