User Reviews for Flagyl oral

I have taking this medication over the years for different reasons and it has always worked for me. The reviews are enlighten however, they are individualize. I feel there should be another alternative offered in this new age of medicines.

This is the worst medication ever. This is the second time I had to take it and will never take it again. It makes you very very sick and I felt that my throat swelled. I was going to go the ER but decided not to. It is an absolute disgrace that after 20 years they have not come up with a better medication to treat Bacterial Vaginitis. The cream form is no better. If a male doctor had to take this they would never describe it. I am so disgusted because my infection went away and then came back and I will never take this again. Be careful when taking.

tastes nasty

The medicine was given in combination with another two to get rid of bacteria in my stomach. The flagyl gave me thrush, and a vaginal infection which made my skin on vaginal feel like it was going to fall off. It cleared my stomach pain, but the side effects were horrible.

Side effect: insomnia. Effects the cerebral fluids. Since I have a sleeping disorder, this is very important to me. Having trouble thinking clearly. It took me several days to realize what was happening.

This drug has worked for me if you use it as prescribed. It tastes terrible, but most drugs do. Respect the drug and what it can do for you to make you better.

This is day two of treatment. I have a horrible taste in my mouth that doesn't go away, a persistant headache, and very little relief of original symptoms, if any. The vomitting has stopped, mostly due to not eating since the start of treatment. The diarhea has continued even though I'm unable to eat. (Must be the liquid diet) Generally I am in less pain, as the shooting stomach pains have stopped. But I am in far more discomfort then ever, and hope to never have to take this medication again. Abdominal discomfort is worse, chest pains persist, night sweats, poor circualtion, and horrible back pains.Read More Read Less

Flagyl worked immediately for me which was great. However I have had to deal with the side effects of nausea and vomiting which is horrible. I’m not used to dealing with side effects so it has been a bad experience. I was told to continue to take with food, but that didn’t always stop the effects. Overall, it works just be aware of the side effects.

Have had diverticulitis for years. Flareups seem to be more frequent. Flagyl/Cipro has worked good in the past with few side effects. Have been on Augmentin for throat infection which, after googling, found that other antibiotics can cause flareups of diverticulitis because they kill the "good" bacteria in the colon. Am still on Augmentin so I'm not on Cipro this time around. (Have a refillable prescription for Flagyl so I did not see doctor for this flareup.) Will see if Flagyl will work without Cipro. Anyone else had this problem when taking another antibiotic that caused a flareup?Read More Read Less

Just finished 7 day 2x day treatment yesterday and have felt worse all week on meds then before. Can not sleep and when I do I have very vivid nightmares the entire time. Headache that will not go away, racing heart, and constent diarrhea.

This is the second time I have been on this drug in combination with Levaquin, the first time I could not finish the Rx due to continuous stomach discomfort. This go around I cannot again tell if my stomach pain is being caused by the drug or my condition. I have experienced the same symptoms as others have reported. Bad taste, dizziness, fever, etc. Next time ( I hope there isn't one, and I am considering laparoscopic surgery) I will ask for another drug.

I was prescribed this med for 2 times daily for 7 days. The first pill I took made my face look like I layed in a tanning bed for an hour or two. I just thought it was fever from the infection and went to bed. By the second pill I knew something was wrong. I had no fever. I can't think or see straight. Today my doctor sent me to the ER for treatment. I will not take this again. If your mouth hurts or is dry, try some sherbert. The cold feels good on your mouth and throat.

I have been on the medication for 4 days now and I've gotten a little better but still having discharge. This medicine sucks and I don't know how it's legal! After reading reviews online I now understand that I'm not the only one going insane on this drug. I haven't felt like myself since I started it. Neausea, blurred vision, no appetite, anxiety AND fatique, rapid heart beat and the worse part is the depression! I've been miserable and very sick mentally and physically. I'm generally a very happy person but this is making me irritable and sad. I'm on the verge of tears all day. This stuff better work or it won't be worth what I've gone through all week!Read More Read Less

I contracted the STD-Trich but it was not thru assault. My prescription was 4pills/ 5 days and yes you have to take all 4 pills at the same time. On the second day,I noticed a rash on my left bicep and disregarded it which was a bad mistake. The very last day- 5th day- after taking meds, instantly i broke out in hives all over my body. Itching like crazy and went to ER where they gave me a shot of the Steroid- Depomedrol and Epinephrine. The rash started to disappear within 30 mins. Approx 2 hours later the itching started again and the doctor suggested Benadryl to relieve the itch until I could fill the prescription. However I did get a prescription for Atarax and Predisone for 5 days. So please inform your dr right away if you notice any signs of allergic reactions. Now the Trich infection has been cleared. Also Flagyl will cause you to have severe vaginal itching... please do not rub, instead treat the itch with cream.Read More Read Less

Caused severe diarrhea and stomach burning.

This medication leaves a bad taste in your mouth and causes nausea. Definitely take with food and definitely do not drink. It is an antibuse type of drug.

Horrible taste in mouth. Nothing helps make it better. Listlessness and achiness. Diarrhea and what feels like a yeast infection throughout entire private area. First time I had diverticulitis the MD used a different drug combo and I had no side effects. With Flagyl I can't tell if the problem is gone because of the side effects. When I read in the brochure it has caused cancer in lab animals, was really upset. I'm already worried about developing colon cancer. Will definitely ask MD for a different drug if diverticulitis returns.Read More Read Less

After reading these reviews Im getting worried!! This is the end of my first day of treatment. I have had no side effects what-so-ever, and didnt notice any taste in my mouth either. Hope it continues... Idk if I can go a week w/o alcohol though- and tomorrow is Friday- uh-oh!!

stomache pain nausea

I have been on this for 6 1/2 days and I've never felt worse! I have made a good faith effort to follow the doctor's recommendation and finish this prescription of antibiotics, but just "can't take it anymore!" The nausea is intense, can't eat or sleep, am dehydrated because even the taste of water is horrible, feel listless and depressed... In this case, the treatment is worse than the disease...
