Additional Information on Special Populations: Renal/Liver failure: In renal failure, the half-life of metronidazole is not changed. Therefore, dose reduction is not necessary, but in serious impaired renal function in which hemodialysis is required, dose adjustment should be done.
In serious liver function failures, metronidazole clearance may be impaired. Metronidazole may increase encephalopathy symptoms due to increased plasma levels and therefore should be used carefully in hepatic encephalopathy patients. The daily dose of metronidazole must be reduced to 1/3 in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.
Pediatric population: Not to be used in children under 18 years of age.
Geriatric population: Same dose as for adults is administered in elderly over 65 years.
