A member asked:

What other antibiotics can i take besides flagyl?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: It all depends on what is being treated. Flagyl in general used to treat certain bacteria, and not others. It is not useful for staph or strep, but very useful for clostridium and bacteroides, so, it all depends.
