Rare Side Effects of Metronidazole

Drugs related complications are commonly seen in ICU patients because many of these patients are on treatment with multiple drugs, having multiple comorbids and with or without multi organ dysfunction. Complications are mainly due to altered drug metabolism, altered drug excretion, higher dosage of drug administered or drug to drug interactions [1]. We describe two rare side effects of use of Metronidazole in our ICU patients who got better after stopping this drug.
