Metronidazole can cause a disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol, so it should be avoided. It is not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. A metallic taste is a common side effect. Milk does not affect metronidazole, and while staying hydrated is generally good, 3000 mL is not specifically required for this medication.
