metronidazole infusion
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of metronidazole following single and multiple intravenous infusion in healthy Japanese adult subjects.
Interventions
On Day 1, subjects will receive a single dose of 500 mg metronidazole by intravenous infusion over 20 minutes. On Day 3 to Day 7, subjects will receive multiple doses of 500 mg metronidazole by intravenous infusion over 20 minutes 4 times a day (every 6 hours) for 5 days.
