Metronidazole is classified as a nitroimidazole antimicrobial and is administered by the intravenous route. Metronidazole, USP is chemically designated 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-ethanol (C 6 H 9 N 3 O 3 ): Not made with natural rubber latex. The flexible container is fabricated from a specially formulated non-plasticized, thermoplastic copolyolephine. The amount of water that can permeate from the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the flexible container can leach out certain of the container's chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period. The suitability of the container material has been confirmed by tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers. Figure
