No, as long as vaginal metronidazole is absorbed in little quantity, there is still a big reaction with alcohol and some people may react. The actual recommandation is to avoid alcohol while taking metronidazole in vaginal gel (Nydagel).

∙ 13y agoAccording to Emedtv.com many people believe that there is a potentially dangerous interaction between alcohol and metronidazole. Supposedly, consuming alcohol while using this drug may cause side effects such as nausea, headache, or flushing. However, recent clinical studies have failed to demonstrate a significant interaction.
It is hypothesized that the drug interaction between Metronidazole and alcohol could be caused by a intolerance to alcohol in general.

Can you drink alcohol while on an antibiotic for a bacterial infection?
This depends on what you mean by "drink alcohol" <g> The only antibiotic that you absolutely CANNOT have any alcohol whatever is Flagyl or metronidazole - even splashing alcohol on your skin while taking that drug will make you vomit! It is generally not a good idea to drink lots of alcohol when your body is trying to heal from any infection. Alcohol slows everything down in your body and brain, and drinking more than maybe ONE drink the whole time you are on the antibiotic could make the infection last longer. The actual medication does not have any interaction with the alcohol like metronidazole does, though.
