A member asked:
I have a bacterial infection on my arm from a cut. i have metronidazole i was planning on taking for trich treatment, will this work for both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Metronidazole kills only anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites (like trichomonas). An infected cut would involve aerobic bacteria.
