Do not start Metrogyl (metronidazole) on your own. Metrogyl is an antibiotic and is not the correct treatment for a colitis flare-up unless a specific infection is confirmed. Stopping your colitis medications can cause your inflammation to return. Keeping your colitis in remission is very important for a healthy pregnancy. Please contact your gastroenterologist or obstetrician right away. They can prescribe pregnancy-safe medications to safely calm this inflammation and relieve your symptoms.
