Abstract: Metronidazole is a widely used drug in day-to-day gastro-enterology practice. It is prescribed for conditions like Crohn’s disease, intra-abdominal abscess, infection with Helicobacter pylori, hepatic encephalopathy, and Recurrent Pyogenic Cholangitis (RPC). Metronidazole is fairly safe and well tolerated but can induce toxicity of the central nervous system, which is also referred to as metronidazole-induced encephalopathy.
