Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Help please from you knowledgable folks, Awhile ago, I had expressed concern about staying on Flagyl, the antibiotic for any extended time, due to the fact that you can develop resistant buggers that will no longer respond to antibiotics. At that time I was corrected and told that Flagyl is not an antibiotic, but rather an antibacterial and antiprotozoal drug. I am not sure I understand the difference, and also was amazed that WEBMD.com listed it as an antibiotic. I have been told that there is a world of difference between an antibiotic and an antibacterial although their mechanisms can be similar. Can anyone help me on this in lay(womens) terms, please? Thanks, Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
