User Reviews for Flagyl oral

This medication was extremely difficult for me to take because of the awful taste. It is bitter and horrid! It caused me to vomit more than once which made it hard to continue taking. I found a comment here that suggested taking it with a teaspoon of jelly and swallowing with a glass of milk. THANK YOU!!! Finally I can take it until finished as prescribed without gagging and puking. I haven't experienced any other side effects except headache. Will be glad to take the last one!

This medication causes my husband A LOT of stomach pain and VERY difficult to eat ANYTHING! However it does seem to be making "other" side effects better (or so my doctor says). Due to the amount of pain this medication causes my hubby however, his doctor has added yet another antibiotic, which makes 3 total now. He is honestly miserable, but we're not sure if it is due to his condition or all the meds.

i have taking 1000mg.metronidazole a day because of mistake.,for 3 months.what damage can ;lhappen . .to me 73 year old male with diabets thank you dan.

When taken with lots of water on an empty stomach, experienced side effects of nausea, vomiting, dizziness and imbalance so bad I had to stay home for one day. Side effects subsided when taken with food. Because of severe stomach pains following a meal of low-fat protein and lots of veggies, I chose to skip the dose. Took one this morning with breakfast--so far, so good. This is my third day of meds.

Wow, horrible reaction, diarrhea, nausea, extreme stomach cramps, wish my doctor had warned me to expect this!

I am taking this medication for BV. I am on day 3 and now started to get stomach pains and my urine is dark. I also have not noticed a difference in my BV. As for taking the pain, no issues swallowing it and the taste does not seem to be a problem for me.

The only way to take this medication is with a full cup of orange juice. The orange juice kills the horrible taste.

aside from the awful taste, this time i'm taking it has not been that bad. i've been eating right before i take it, and then something small after i take it so i know it's gone all the way down. the only issue i've had is feeling fuzzy.

Dizziness, confusion and flu like symptoms. Yellowing of eyes and nausea. Symptoms went away after finishing prescription but returned a few days later. I am hoping there will be an alternative drug and that I won't have to go back on this one. It was pretty miserable.

I was prescribed this medicine for a recurrence of a C. Diff infection following strep treatment. I had the first infection 10 months ago following Ceftin. Flagyl makes me insanely dizzy and a little nauseated. It makes me really sleepy too and my appetite is totally gone. Gets ride of the infection though (or at least it did when I had C. Diff the first time). Cutting back the dose from 3x/day to 2x/day seems to help. If you have to take it, plan on feeling crappy for the few weeks you're on it.Read More Read Less

While in the hospital I was taking two 500 mg tablets three times a day. It was given to me on an empty stomach. I had an awful taste in my mouth, nausea, loss of appetite, nothing -- not even water -- tasted good, headaches. I was to be on this for 10 days but had to stop after 9. Diverticulitis sypmtoms (fever, cramping, loose bowels) recurred after two weeks. I am taking 1 tablet three times a day only I take it with food and lots of water and have the same results before -- awful taste, nausea, headache, loss of appetite! It seems there should be something a person could take with less terrible symptoms. I've also found after I ate an acidic meal (Italian dish with tomatoe sauce base) that I ate while taking with it made the nausea worse! This is the absolutely worse drug I have EVER taken. It truly is a drug from Hell! Read More Read Less

it is great and worked quick

Dreadful! There has to be another antibiotic for treatment of diverticulosis. I will NEVER take this again if I am conscious. The lingering bitter taste, nausea, lethargy, lack of appetite are constant, even with Cipro. I have no energy and feel like I am in a fog.

I was in the hospital for 5 days with C. Diff. I was given Flagyl once it was diagnosed. I had to take it an additional 10 days, 3x/day, after I was discharged. This stuff is pretty horrendous, so just hang in there and get through the course of treatment. I experienced fatigue, unbelievably putrid-smelling gas (because the infection was dying off and rotting on its way out of me––Gas-X helped a lot, but it took a couple of days), loss of appetite, metallic taste in the mouth, fatigue, and general aches and pains. Was advised to eat yogurt and to use probiotics to re-stock "good" bacteria into intestinal tract. Flagyl is the nastiest antibiotic I have ever taken (WAY worse than, say, Keflex), but, compared with what I went through for the 20 hours prior to driving myself to the emergency room, its the lesser of the two evils.Read More Read Less

the palms of my hands are red and burn however the top of my hands are ok and i can feel that side . My hands are swollen and the fingers are stiff and difficult to close. thank you

Can someone please tell me the common Dr. instructions for this drug. Mine came in a package with 3 strips of pills in the foil that you pop out and I threw out the cardboard container that had the instructions.

Why are so many people weak? Im currently taking this drug because i got trichomoniasis. It says you can't drink, but you really can... I mean I got black out last night. Pills in general require more water from your body. It is also very hot out, put 2 and 2 together and its probably one thing.... You gotta push water. I feel a little noxious for like 3 minutes after I take it, but chug a glass of water and your good. Women... lol

BE CAUTIOUS TAKING THIS MEDICATION. It is very powerful. I have had the bad taste that others describe, but most scary had very bad neuropathy. I have taken it on and off for years to treat fistulas, but this last time I started having joint pain, stabbing pain, and numbness. I could only walk about a block before my feet hurt too much. These side effects are finally going away (6 weeks after stopping), but I already have one chronic illness (Crohn's) - I do not want to develop another (neuropathy). I have to say it really scared me, and seeing so many other comments on here makes me very wary. I know that I will never take this drug again.Read More Read Less

makes me nausea

I had to comment because after reading several of the reviews I almost didn't take this medication. I was really concerned! I made sure to eat a full meal before taking the medication and avoided anything containing alcohol. I am very happy to say today is my last day of taking this and I didn't have any of the horrible symptoms others reported. I have had a persistant headache since starting it but tylenol took care of that. No cramps, nausea or sick feeling of any kind. Everyone reacts different and that is why I decided to give it a try. I did pay attention to the serious warnings of others. It does taste horrible but you can take it with cranberry juice or something that has a strong flavor to kill the taste, after a few minutes it does go away. I hope this helps. Read More Read Less
