Nitroimidazole

Nitroimidazole is a class of antibiotics and antiprotozoal medications used to treat various infections caused by bacteria and protozoa. These drugs work by entering microbial cells and disrupting their DNA, which prevents the organisms from reproducing and causes their death. Nitroimidazoles are common treatments for infections such as bacterial vaginosis, certain intestinal infections, and some parasitic illnesses. They are typically prescribed by healthcare providers and may have side effects like nausea or metallic taste. Overall, nitroimidazoles are effective agents in combating specific microbial infections by interfering with their genetic material.
