ABSTRACT:
An aqueous solution of metronidazole in which the concentration of metronidazole is higher than 0.75%. The solution contains a combination of solubility-enhancing agents, one of which is a cyclodextrin such as beta-cyclodextrin and the second is niacin or niacinamide. Methods of manufacture and therapeutic use of the solution are disclosed.
