The typical dosage for Metronidazole (Flagyl) in treating uncomplicated diverticulitis is 500 mg three times daily for 7 to 10 days. Your doctor may adjust this based on your specific condition and response to treatment.
For more severe cases, intravenous Flagyl might be necessary. The specific intravenous dosage will be determined by your healthcare provider, considering factors such as your weight and overall health.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Do not alter the prescribed dosage or duration of treatment without consulting your physician. Be sure to complete the full course of antibiotics, even if you feel better before the medication is finished, to prevent recurrence.
Remember, this information is for general knowledge and does not substitute for professional medical advice. Consult your doctor or other qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment of diverticulitis.
