Flagyl is a prescription drug that is only available from a doctor. You cannot buy it over the counter. It is used for treatment of infections caused by bacteria and some types of parasites, so it is important that a doctor monitor treatment to make sure it is effective.

If you are in the United State, the answer is no. You have to go to the doctor to get a prescription. I don't know about other countries. Sorry.

Flagyl needs a prescription, although there is a generic version available under its generic name, metronidazole. This medicine is an antiobiotic used against various parasites and bacteria that thrive in the body's abdomen area, the liver and pelvis, or the vagina. It is available by injection, in tablets, capsules, cream or lotion.
