I was extremely nervous to take this medication after reading the reviews. I am a very small person with a very sensitive stomach, so I thought for sure I would be vomiting all week. Not so. The metal taste in my mouth is a little irritating, my appetite is decreased, and I feel a little groggier than usual, but it's really not so bad. Just thought I would write a review to ease some people's mind...
Oral versus a vaginal gel: the pill is cheaper, the gel expensive. With the pill I experienced daily headaches, a feeling of being distorted, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, a stiff neck, and a metal taste in my mouth. I never had BV until the year 2011 after being sex-free for 3 years after my divorce. I began menopause in 2011 and that's when the BV began. And it keeps coming back at l...

Medicine has very bad taste. I had nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, insomnia, and decreased appetite. After taking meds the condition did not completely clear up.

Here's what happened. I'm on my 5th day of this treatment (1.5 days left). The first two days I felt better, in the vaginal area. Now, and for the last three days, I've felt itching and stinging when I pee and in the vaginal area in general: much, much LESS comfortable than the nasty tasting pill I take 2wice a day. Even after a good night's sleep and breakfast this moring, I felt dizzy..almost fell down stairs at the University. Some fatigue as well. I hope it gets better at the end and after the treatment is done with. Read More Read Less

Girlfriend and I are taking this for a food borne bacteria, symptoms started several hours after eating chinese. But 3 days later symptoms still there so started taking this drug. This drug is harsh, bitter, causes nausea and some dizziness. Be so glad to stop taking it, hope it is working.

I do not like that taste! It also makes me nauseous after meals. Sadly I have no choice and three more weeks to take the stuff. It's either this or another prescription totalling $842.00 after insurance. I'll take my metal psuedo morning sickness pill thank you.

I also had a metallic taste in my mouth...turned me off coffee for a few days. Horrible taste!! I agree with taking it with water and then eating something quickly after to over the bitter taste.

If you take the pill (don't think just take with water and swallow fast)then eat (toast, something with flavor) you will be fine. I had to take 2 in 2 days and managed to choke them down without any metal taste. Just don't bite the pill because you will have that taste for a while.

I had to take this for two days after a minor surgery to prevent infection. I just couldn't take the last dose. It tastes absolutely HORRIBLE! No matter what I eat or drink afterwards or how quick I get it swallowed, it still leaves that taste in the back of your mouth that you cant get rid of. I thought I was going to throw it up before I got it down! If there is any other medicine besides this that you can take, I would seriously recommend it. Other than the horrible taste, I had no other side effects. Just hoping it worked completely since I skipped the last dose.Read More Read Less
