A member asked:
Metronidazole pills and penicillin pills can u take it at the same time and what's the difference between metronidale and penicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: These are two completely different classes of antibiotics and totally structurally unrelated. Metronidazole is predominantly used against bacteria that are obligate anaerobes (cannot live in the presence of oxygen), and penicillin may be effective against a variety of organisms.
