User Reviews for metronidazole oral

This is the worst med I have ever, ever, taken! It helped with an inflamed intestinal tract, but make me way sicker with each day that went by. I had to call it quits after day #7. It made me dizzy and so weak that I could barely stand up. It gave me stomach cramps, back pains, a cough, constant belching and nausea. It's been a month now and the side effects won't go away. My Dr says it can't be, but I think I know my body. I don't know how long it will take but I've been too sick to work for over a month.Read More Read Less

My infection is gone but this drug was very difficult to swallow at 500mg x4 a day for 1 week. I have been off of it for 1 week but I still have terrible side effects. Very unhappy. I don’t know why they Used this awful frig for an infection after a tooth extraction.

500mg 2/day for 10 days 30 min after first dose, I feel a strange pain at my left elbow. Now, I feel this strange throbbing on the inside of my right elbow. Now, I'm feeling a pain on the inside of my left knee. Is this poison working it's way through my joints? I definitely feel this poison in my body. I also feel a little off balance and light headed. Mild head pain near my right temple.I've been drinking cacao and it has a chemical called Tyramine. My guess is this is why I had a slight headache yesterday. Headache was just noticeable, 1-2 on a scale of 10. 40 mins after taking 500mg, started getting a headache and I definitely feel foggy. Sharp pain top of my stomach but below my sternum. Pain in the right side of my jaw.Neck stiffness.Definitely experiencing short term memory issues.Eyes felt tired & dry. My wife has been dealing with a vaginal infection, so we both had to take this poison for 10 days. It has a metallic taste because it obviously has a toxic metal in it. In the end, it seemed to have worked for my wife. Read More Read Less

I haven’t felt nauseous or had a bad stomach like some people but it do feel quite groggy on this medication. Not quite dizzy but definitely foggy. I don’t like the feeling but it’s manageable. Plus I’m really tired all the time.

The ingredients list two types of Parabens!!!! They are carcinogenic!!!! I will no longer be using this gel despite it helping avoid vagina bacteria issues well!! I cannot believe these ingredients are in a gel that is directly inserted into the most receptive sponge in a female’s body!!! Talk about a fast track to reproductive organ cancer!!!! Appalled!!! We need better medicine folks! We need the doctors and scientists who create out remedies and medicines and who also do the studies to find out what causes cancer to provide us with solutions that are healthy and safe. I’d rather have bv, than any kind of cancer. Period.Read More Read Less

i tried both the pill and gel form of flagyl for my recurrent bv. i had it 6 times this year for 8 months. i had pelvic pain /discomfort, and weird smelling vagina. i never saw anyone mention pelvic pain being one of the symptoms, but apparently it can happen according to the doctors i have spoke to. i tested negative for all stds but positive for bv. anyways the flagyl helped, until it came back a month later. the pelvic pain and then taking flagyl was like a routine for me for 8 months. i recommend the gel over the pill 100% btw. they both work the same to me but the pill is GROSS lol. i stopped having sex with my bf for 3 months cuz i thought i was getting it from him but i still got it even tho we weren't having sex for that long. i tried boric acid too and it didn't work. anyways antibiotics are bad for your body. it kills the bad bacteria that causes bv as well as the good ones that maintain a healthy vagina. it wipes EVERYTHING out. literally everything. i also didn't have a good diet (barely any fruits/veggies, typical american diet hahah) so there was no chance for the good bacteria to grow, and the bad bacteria overgrew every time. well i've been bv free for 3 months now. here's what i did: 1. PROBIOTICS. i take one with 20 billion. it helps lactobacillus grow which is the KEY to a healthy vag 2. eat healthy. you don't even have to eat that healthy. I make sure to incorporate smoothies in my diet everyday which has fruits/veggies in it. eating healthy is so good for your gut health (my gut health was terrible after all those antibiotics) 3. get a bidet. it just keeps your area clean. i think this can stop fecal bacteria from ur other hole from getting into ur vag. 4. LUBE. omg this changed the game. i think rough sex when you're not that wet can also cause bv. i have not had bv for over 3 months now :) if you have recurrent BV like i did, flagyl is just a bandaid. we all know it will come back. you have to find the root cause to truly fix it.

Ive been on this medication for five days now and have been nauseous, loss of appetite, fatigued more than normal and overall not feeling well.

I have been taking this medication for eight days due to a small infection around a tooth implant post. The course ended on a Saturday. Until then the side effects were mild with just a slight headache, loose stools and a little trouble sleeping.. Then on Sunday I developed intense stomach pain that lasted all day and half the night, but this morning it's gone. (I took some other medication to relieve it). As for whether or not the infection is gone i don't know until I see the dentist on SaturdayRead More Read Less

Word of advise for swallowing....wipe extra pill dust off and take with a yogurt drink, sooooo much easier to swallow. I think it's the pill dust that makes that nasty taste linger.

On flagyl 2days 2xday pain gone no side effects yet pain gone works for me avoid side effect drama works for me will finish if side effects happen

Honestly, I get REALLY bad reactions with most antibiotics ESPECIALLY a upset stomach due to my IBS but THIS medication is as absolute amazing. Run so smooth. Infection went within 48 hours. Originally, took for a gum abscess. Only side effects I experienced was a continuous headache (minor), and dark urine and loss of appetite. Did not feel sick once. From reading the comments I was so apprehensive about taking these due to reading people’s reviews but I was completely fine!

The side effects are no joke. Make sure you have a full stomach before taking this medicine because I forget to and was in the bathroom a couple hours after taking my morning dose throwing up from the medicine. I got all the side effects except the constipation.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE EFFECTS WITH PROPYLENE GLYCOL!! I usually don’t have any major reactions to new medications. I was receiving multiple doses of IV flagyl in the hospital with zero side effects so I had no worries taking the oral version. When I got home from the hospital, I took flagyl 500mg with Ceftin as well as my usual meds: metoprolol, Zyrtec and Advil (just had a hysterectomy a week prior). I fell asleep about 30 minutes after I took my meds and woke up about an hour later in a horrible state! I was so disoriented, I wasn’t sure if I was at home or still in the hospital. Everything was so foggy and couldn’t figure out what was happening. I had a full on panic attack and my heart rate went up in to the 160s-170s for a few minutes. I was seconds away from calling 911 because I felt like I was going to die! And I don’t suffer from anxiety or panic attacks or any psych issues. Once everything settled down, probably around 10 minutes, I came to my senses and started feeling better. I started reading reviews and someone who had a similar experience mentioned Propylene Glycol and the adverse effects with the med. I started researching all the things I had eaten or drank prior, didn’t find anything. Then researched all the other meds that I took with it and every single one of them has propylene glycol in it! It’s even in Tylenol. Please check EVERYTHING you ingest for the ingredient before you take this medication!Read More Read Less

Was prescribed this medication for BV like everyone else here. And the taste is pretty gross but well worth it. I have spurts of depression Sometimes and this medicine heightened hopeless thoughts for the first couple of days but it went away. Eyes got dry so it was hard to use my contacts, metallic taste, loose stool, lots of farting but honestly if youâ??ve got a solid strong will power this drug isnâ??t so bad. It did not give me a yeast infection like I thought it was going to either so thatâ??s a bonus. Over all it got rid of my BV so it did its job. Now figures crossed it wonâ??t come back for a couple of years, I read this drug caused cancer in mice! Read More Read Less

I took this drug for a very bad tooth abscess as my wisdom tooth is coming through. I took the drug as prescribed 3 x a day for 7 days and it worked to clear the infection but I don't think I've ever been as poorly in my life. Its horrible the sickness and diarrhoea and the headaches the stomach cramps are the worse its like no pain I've felt before it feels like someones wringing out my insides. It's been 8 days since I stopped taking these tablets and I've been sick and in pain from when I finished the course and ive had loose stools pretty much since I started taking them. I don't think taking this drug is worth it because the side effects were so bad for me maybe it's not as bad if your on a lower dose. Read More Read Less

My dentist prescribed this medicine for an abscess below a tooth that needs to come out. I'm allergic to sulfa drugs, have dry sensitive skin, and take medications for other unrelated medical conditions. I'm on day six, and it's working great so far. I'm lucky since that tooth has a very old root canal and crown so no pain. The only side effects I've had are drier skin and some slight dizziness when I first wake up. That's really good in my case as I'm highly sensitive to many medications. I should mention that I've been seeing the same doctors and dentist for 10 years now, and they are all linked into the same chart system. Each can see all of my prescriptions and over-the-counter medications being prescribed and recommended to me. I think that's a big part of why this antibiotic is working so well for me, I don't need any pain medication, and side effects are minimal. Therefore, I recommend this medication for my specific condition and short-term use. Read More Read Less

I wanted to right this to help other women Tuesday at 2:30am i had to go to the ER and was told I had BV and a bit of UTI. Was prescribed both Metronidazole and Doxycycline twice a day for 10days.

Seems to take a long time to be effective. Have a mild headache and slight sore throat from it as well as slight abdominal pain. The metal taste is there and this is 3x per day, slightly more inconvenient than 2x daily. Would rather another antibiotic.

I HATE this medicine so much it’s soooo nasty! I’ve gagged every time and I’ve actually choked on it cus of how big the pill is lol. Butt that metallic taste kills meee! But my doctor recommended taking the pill w some yogurt and it definitely works. It’s still a lil spark of metallic but not as much as the first time I had to take it. Also it works very rapidly. On my like 3rd day everything pretty much cleared up. You just have to make sure to take the entire thing or else the reason why u takin it is gonna come back. ????Read More Read Less
