What is a common side effect of Metronidazole?

  1. Metallic taste

  2. Sweating

  3. Blurred vision

  4. Insomnia

The correct answer is: Metallic taste

Metronidazole is an antibiotic commonly used to treat infections caused by bacteria and parasites. A common side effect of Metronidazole is a metallic taste in the mouth. This side effect is often described as an unpleasant or metallic taste in the mouth, which can persist throughout the course of treatment. The metallic taste can sometimes lead to changes in taste perception and decreased appetite. It is important for healthcare providers to inform patients about this potential side effect when prescribing Metronidazole. Sweating, blurred vision, and insomnia are not commonly associated with Metronidazole use as side effects.
