A member asked:
How effective is metronidazole effective at cleaning your gi tract out? i am on it right now and i am having watery stools 2 days in. thoughts????
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: This is a peculiar question. Why does your GI tract need "cleaning out"? Taking metronidazole not only will not work to do that, but could be harmful. You need the bacteria it would kill. Were you prescribed metronidazole by a health professional? For what reason? Check with your doctor.
