Get a metronidazole (Flagyl) prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

Metronidazole (Flagyl) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial and parasitic infections. It works by preventing the growth of certain bacteria and parasites, such as Helicobacter pylori. It’s also used to treat skin infections, lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia or lung abscesses, and in combination with other medications to treat stomach or intestinal ulcers.

There are many reasons for a metronidazole prescription, though usually it involves treating an infection. Metronidazole can be used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, vagina, stomach and intestines, joints, and respiratory tract.

Common conditions requiring metronidazole treatment include chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas, and diverticulitis. For sexually transmitted infections, metronidazole and ciprofloxacin may be prescribed together.

Metronidazole can be administered in one of four methods:

• Orally – taken by mouth, usually in the form of an oral suspension (liquid), capsules, or tablets
• Intravenously – injected directly into the bloodstream via an IV
• Topically – applied directly onto an infected area in the form of a cream, lotion, or gel
• Vaginally – applied directly to the vagina, usually in the form of a cream or gel

Common side effects include:

• Metallic taste
• Eye pain
• Numbness, burning sensations, or tingling in hands and feet
• Depression
• Dizziness or lack of coordination
• Headache
• Nausea
• Seizures
• Diarrhea
• Skin rash/hives
• Nasal congestion or runny nose
• Sore throat
• Bacterial infections
• Vaginitis

If you begin showing signs of any of these side effects, notify your doctor to make sure it’s safe to continue taking your metronidazole prescription.

Before you consider getting a metronidazole prescription online, be sure to talk to your doctor if you’ve ever had:

• Nervous system diseases or a nerve disorder
• A fungal infection anywhere in your body
• A blood cell disorder such as anemia or low white blood cell counts
• Liver or kidney disease
• A stomach or intestinal disease such as Crohn’s
• Disease
• Cockayne Syndrome
• Hypoadrenalism
• Hypothyroidism

These pre-existing conditions could affect how metronidazole will function and how likely you are to have adverse side effects.

If you’ve missed a dose of metronidazole, take the prescribed amount as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to the time of your next dose. If it’s close to the time of your next dose, simply take the next dose as prescribed — never double your dose.

No, you can’t drink while on metronidazole. Doing so can cause nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and an irregular heartbeat. You also shouldn’t drink alcohol 24 hours after stopping metronidazole. It’s safe to drink alcohol only 48 hours after completing your entire course of medication.

Medications and products you should avoid while taking metronidazole include but aren’t limited to:

• Alcoholic beverages
• Any medications or products that contain propylene glycol
• Disulfiram (Antabuse)
• Anticoagulants

You’ll need to discuss any medication you’re taking with a doctor to ensure metronidazole is safe for you. It’s also important to speak to your doctor about any allergies you may have to avoid an allergic reaction to metronidazole.

Yes, you can use metronidazole while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding unless directed otherwise by your doctor. There’s also no conclusive evidence to suggest that taking this medication while trying to conceive reduces fertility in men or women.

Yes, metronidazole and ciprofloxacin may be taken together as prescribed by your doctor. You can’t get metronidazole over the counter and Canada nor can you get ciprofloxacin without a prescription, and will need medical advice about how to take them together. However, these two drugs can both be prescribed to fight off an infection.

Maple connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers online via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can examine you as needed, ask questions about your symptoms, go through your health history, and determine if metronidazole is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to see a doctor for an in-person appointment.

Once you talk to a doctor on Maple and they determine a prescription for metronidazole online is right for you, they can order metronidazole from your local pharmacy. You’ll then have the option of sending the prescription to the pharmacy or you can get it delivered within one to two business days at no extra cost.
