User Reviews for Flagyl oral

Used this medication before but this time I have had serious stomach issues, dizziness, bloat and nausea...particularily after having a cocktail at a Christmas party. Didn't know that was an issue until I reviewed drug on Webmd...very dizzy, nauseated and not pleased! still have vaginosis

This medicine is hard to swallow. It gets stuck in my throat and leaves an awful chalky taste in my mouth. Since starting this drug I have had a yeast infection, which has since cleared up, and heartburn. I have also experienced sleeplessness.

This is the second time I have used the flagyl/cipro combination and have had good results. I haven't had any alcohol, so that hasn't been an issue and I haven't experienced the other side effects that I've seen listed here.

Quick, steady improvement of long-standing symptoms. Inexpensive. Some reflux with this drug.

I was 7w5d pregnant when my doctor prescribed this to me and 3 days after starting it, I experienced a miscarriage. Personally, I think that is the worst side effect

VERY metallic aftertaste. Nothing tasted good while I was on this drug, but it worked very well!

I have been taking Flagyl for two months and I, like other reviewers, consider it the most unpleasant drug I have ever taken. I'm at the point now of diminishing benefits, where the side effects of the drug are at least as bad as those associated with the underlying condition. Among the side effects - sour/slimy taste in mouth, fatigue, occasional queasiness, change in food/drink preferences. As for alcohol consumption, I have been a beer lover for many years. Now I not only can't stomach the taste, but have no desire to drink it. As I understand it, the warning against alcohol consumption is because some individuals, while taking the drug, will have a violent reaction if they drink alcohol. With others, such as myself, this is not a problem. The problem is that you no longer have any desire to drink. Not altogether a bad thing, as the "cocktail hour" is now open for other activities, like contemplating how much longer you might have to take this awful medication. Read More Read Less

I was prescribed flagyl and cipro for a bowel infection- Flagyl was the worst drug i have ever taken! for me at least, the side effects were severe- I had the most severe heart burn i have ever experienced, i could hardly eat or drink, i felt nauseous, headaches. In all the drug made me feel worse than the infection, it worked to clear up my infection, but if i am ever prescribed flagyl again i will request an alternate drug due to my side effects

My Dr. gave me this in combination with Cipro for what he suspects was rotavirus (severe vomiting and diarrhea). After a day and a half on it I've had no problems and am feeling much better. Not having any of the bad taste side effects that others are reporting.

When the doctor first prescribed the medicine, she warned me that I would not be able to drink alcohol while on it. That was fine. When I picked it up from the pharmacy, though, the pharmacist told me of the multiple other side effects it had. It was absolutely disgusting to take. It was very powdery and tasted horrible. It made my mouth and throat very dry and my saliva taste bad, especially in the morning. It also gave me some stomach aches and made me moody. Hopefully it fully cleared up my infection because if not, it would not be worth it at all. I would probably request I different drug if possible next time.Read More Read Less

The medicine is horrible, tastes bad and makes you feel very sick. Can not drink any alcohol while taking this medicine because it is a antibuse drug. I have had this bacteria off and on for over 7 years and I am getting very tired of taking the same medicine to just have to take again. But you can tell a big difference after just one day of taking it, but there has to be something else out there that works!!!

I had a SEVERE reaction finally termed serum sickness. This occured 3days after I completed the flagyl. I was hospitalized for 5days. A very rare and nearly fatal reaction!

I experienced jittery feelings while on this medicine; almost palpitation-like. Also, my urine became very dark.

I experienced dizziness,nausea,and stomach pains. I was glad when the medication was over but I think it did what it was suppose to do, although if I ever have this same problem I would like to be recommended a different prescription.

I was given this med in the past and I became very Ill after taking it, so when my Dr gave it to me again, I informed him of this problem. I was told that it could have been caused by my perfume. I took the pills again and the problem was worse. I vomited after 10 min. and continued to do so for the next hour. The pills came up as well. I called my doctor and they said that because I had a rum with coke two days prior was the reason this happened. I will never take this drug again, but am still dealing with the vaginosis and cant take it any more. My Dr said there is no other alternative for me, but I cant help but think that he is wrong. Please tell me there is a choice. Thank you Jo Read More Read Less

The medicine works very well, the worst side effect is the awful taste in the mouth.

I can say this cleared up the condition quickly but the side effects were awful: constant nausea, dizziness, dry mouth/metallic taste, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, etc. Even with these side effects, I would still recommend it.

Dizziness and headaches are intense, lasts several hours after taking. On a 3x daily / 10 day dosage. I already have intense abdominal pain and Flagyl creates nausea. Taking Viccodine for pain but can't while working. Half way done, hope I never have to take this stuff again. The cure is almost as bad as the symptoms.
