A member asked:

Can flagyl pills help me get pregnant?

Dr. Richard Parent answered

Specializes in Bariatrics

Not directly: I don't know of any data indicating that metronidazole, or Flagyl, will increase your fertility but, if you're taking oral contraceptive pills, antibiotics may interfere with their efficacy and thus increase your chances of becoming pregnant.
