Oral metronidazole for 10 days. Blame it on an overgrowth of

must work! >>
prolonged courses of metronidazole require alcohol abstenance for a couple of
days after. I vividly remember a colleague passing out after two glasses of
wine the day after finishing a course of metronidazole. Apparently it ia to do
with the antabuse like efffect and the effect on liver enzymes.
