Can Metronidazole And Methylprednisolone Be Taken Together?
I am currently on day 3 of metronidazole oral 500 mg every 12 hours for 7 days to treat bacterial vaginosis. I was seen in urgent care tonight for tmj pain and forgot to mention my prescription. I was prescribed Methylprednisolone 4 mg to help. Are these medications safe to take together and will it affect my coarse of treatment?

Hello,
Prednisolone and metronidazole combined in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Metronidazole may increase the level of prednisolone in the body by altering or blocking a specific enzyme. For a course of seven days with four days left there will not be much of an interaction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
