Hi!
I took 2 single doses of Metronidazole about 2 months apart for bacterial infections both times. It was 2g (4x500mg pills) both times. That’s it.

Could this been the cause of my Peripheral Neuropathy ?
I can’t remember when the symptoms started exactly but i know that it started after taking these antibiotics.
I was a chronic cocaine user at the time, and also had low folate and ferritin, all the rest normal.

Online they keep saying that Flagyl induced Neuropathy start at about 13g and/or usually happen after a prolonged use, which wasn’t my case. I also asked my GP but he says that neuropathy only happens when Flagyl is given by IV, which is wrong.

So yeah... I just wanna know if 4g of Flagyl could have destroyed my nerves or is it likely to be something else ?

Thanks !
