User Reviews for Flagyl oral

Was prescibed this in combination with cypro. 500mg 4 times a day. Stopped taking it after 1 day. Nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, headache, metallic taste. Stomach pain came back on day 4. Resumed medicine but cut the dosage. Hope this works. I will not take this again.

Was given this antibiotic along with doxycycline and a rocephin injection, so I am on 3 antibiotics and not sure which is actually helping but I do feel alot better after recently being diagnosed with severe cervicitis (cause unknown). I was in tremendous, unbearable pain but after 4 days on the flagyl I went for a checkup and there was no improvement in my cervix so I got the antibiotic injection rocephin and a script for doxycycline and now I'm feeling better. I guess from the combo of all 3 antibiotics. Flagyl is a little hard to swallow as it dissolves when it hits your tongue and tastes horribly. Read More Read Less

Whatever you do don't drink alcohol with this drug - even after finishing the course. I was on 3 tablets a day for a week & had some wine 30 hours after last dose. Simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea, faintness, exhaustion, aching all over, high temperature, shivering for almost 24 hours now. And even before that I had awful weepiness, bloating and stomach aches. Hope it actually works after all this!

Took this after having a root canal to try and remove a tooth abscess. Horrible tasting, had nausea off and on for 4 days even though I did not drink alcohol and took this after a meal as recommended by the pharmacist. Once the pill completely dissolved in my mouth when taking with warm tea - avoid using warm water to swallow this, it was disgusting! This medicine partially but not completely resolved the infection. Tolerated it for 4 days, but then I had diarrhea and vomiting. Called endodontist and luckily he is going to use an alternate procedure to try and remove the infection so I can stop taking this horrible medicine.Read More Read Less

The doctor at the emergency room where I was treated prescribed Flagyl and Cipro which naturally freaked me out because Cipro is prescribed for anthrax poisoning. I still don't have the exact bacterial culprit as I have not recieved the lab reports yet. My stomach is still upset yet I have finished the course of meds.It's been 3 days since I finished the course of meds but I am still very sick to my stomach all the time. My stool is dark and powdery I'm wondering if it's the meds or the illness.Read More Read Less

Has anyone had pain in the bladder & very dark urine when taking Flagyl?

Consuming any alcohol with this medication may result in violent illness. So I was told.

Causes rapid heart rate, head rush with a severe headache and can bring on a heart attack.

2x/day for 1wk. Yesterday was my last day and my lasting side effect is fatigue. But it's more like exhaustion. I'm so tired it's unbelievable. It does leave a bad taste in your mouth if you leave it on your tongue. I didn't get sick or lose my appetite. But I did feel dizzy and a bit disoriented at times. Also, I got sores on the roof of my mouth.

ongoing treatment

the medicine has helped and is helping right now. Although i took Flagyl and Cipro during my last diverticulitis attack and it apparently did not work because I ended up in the hospital on an IV drip. I hate the way it makes me feel...actually i feel awful on it. But, it can work and my doctor seems to feel it is the only drug that works..of course in combo with Cipro. Any advice?

I had a root canal and was given this for a week afterward in case of infection along with penicillan. I've never used this before and I never will again. I took it every 6 hours. At first it was just the bad taste in my mouth and throat almost continously, then on day 5 I became nauseated, dizzy and just all around felt rotten. I am in perimenepause and it caused those symptoms to come back on me. I haven't been on it for a week now and I still have an upset stomach and nasty taste in my mouth, kinda like mild heartburn. If it doesn't get any better I'm going to my doctor. I talked to a nurse friend of mine who said there is a better alternative to this but it's more expensive so it's rarely given. If you are told you need this, ask for something else that does the same. There are too many people who have trouble with this. I hate it and I'm afraid it has caused me stomach or gall bladder problems. I got dizzy and my BP dropped last night and I've been sick to my stomach all day. I burp and pass gas all the time and my abdomen makes all kinds of noises. It has really messed up my GI tract. Sorry for rambling but it's just very upsetting. It works for sure, but proceed with caution!Read More Read Less

This medication was a chore to take due to the Horrible taste.I dreaded dose time and would have to force myself to put it in my mouth, then taste it for hours after.Surely there is a coating that could be put on,that dissolves.I would refuse this medication in the future and try another antibiotic,unless a coating were put on it,!!!!

it started working within day 2. headaches/anxiety & dizziness at times. mostly headaches. i'm on it for a 10 day stretch and 2 more days to go.. i have thrush and sores on the corners of my mouth - dentist said due to all oral bacteria (good & bad) being eradicated and yeast taking over. I guess it's better than the awful stomach pains i was feeling.

Dissolves before it's even swallowed, tin taste, created nausea, constant diarrhea and horrible abdominal cramps. One of the worst antibiotics I've ever had to take. Do not take this antibiotic!

I've tried just about everything and then my doctor perscribed flagyl oral na dit works better than anything 've ever taken

The nurse advised me to wrap the pill in a piece of white bread and then swallow. None of the metallic aftertaste. Bread did the trick and kept the powder from touching anything until it hit where it was supposed to go. Great tip, great nurse!

I have never been so miserable in my life. I've had migraines, but nothing close to last night. I have only been on Flagyl for 2 days and I will NEVER take it again. After the headache and nausea finally went away I was left feeling like I had been run over. I am also feeling depressed, probably because the pain was so severe.

It tates terrible, but I guess it is working. I feel terrible, but I can't tell what is from my illness or the medications.

I was hesitant after reading some of the ratings on here. I am on my second complete day and I have to say that the first was the worse. Today I have felt alot better. I did figure out that you dont want to take this with anything with carboniation. I have been taking it with tea and the taste is not there. But other then that everything has been good.
