ANS: B
Metronidazole can cause a disulfiram-like reaction when taken with alcohol, so patients should be cautioned against using foods or drug products that contain alcohol. There is no need to abstain from sexual intercourse. Metronidazole should be taken with food. The topical preparation is effective against bacterial vaginosis.
