Can i drink alcohol while using vaginal metronidazole metrogel? it isn't the oral pills so i was unsure.

In theory, there may: be a reaction since some metronidazole may be absorbed into the bloodstream through the vaginal mucosa. When it occurs, it's unpleasant to be sure. Since alcohol consumption isn't vital to your health, you'd be wise to avoid it until about 3 days after you've finished your course of Metrogel Vaginal. Dr. Anne

No problem: This isn't a problem. Even alcohol's interaction with oral metronidazole is a medical myth, long ago debunked. It doesn't happen. For 40 years in prescribing oral metronidazole several times a day, we have never warned patients about alcohol. Out of habit, many doctors and clinics warn to not take both together, but it's truly not a problem. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12022894
