A member asked:
How long after taking metronidazole 500 mg do i have to wait to have sexual intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metronidazole: Depends upon why you are taking this. May be slightly different if for BV than trichinosis or as combo therapy for pid. You should check with the doctor who ordered this. If for some form of std make sure your partner has also been treated and tested negative.
