A member asked:
I don't think i can handle the metronidazole anymore. been on it 10 days 3xday. is that enough time to clear the cdiff. i haven't had diarrhea ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The usual treatment of C.diff is 10-14 days of antibiotics, which is over 90% effective in curing the illness.There is a 25% chance of reoccurrence after treatment. Some recurrences represent relapse from incomplete eradication of the bacteria. Other recurrences represent reinfection, often in a hospital setting.SEE>
