Will Metronidazole 500mg Tablet Treat A Uti?

I have some left over metronidazole from when I was being treated for H Pylori. For some reason I always get a UTI if I forget to pee immediately after intercourse. I've had a least four UTI's so I'm almost certain that's what it is. Would this medication treat it? I really need some relief. My insurance isn't great and I can't afford to go to the emergency room for something minor and I'm sure it would be frowned upon if I went to the ER with a non-life threatening condition.

Hello, Alice! How are you? Do you have an urgent care nearby? You could always go to one of them, instead of an ER.

This is an antibiotic, so it may help, but it is not usually the preferred one for treating UTIs, additionally you may not have enough of it to finish a full course of treatment. So, it would be best to see a doctor to have an appropriate medication prescribed.

The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
