User Reviews for metronidazole oral

I GET NO SIDE EFFECTS FROM THIS MEDICINE. BUT IT DOESNT WORK.

Just started taking this medication seven days ago. I’m on the last day! I just hope that the medication will work. I have experienced heart palpitations (feeling like a panic attack is going to happen) lightheadedness, fogginess, sleeplessness, bloated and nauseous. I never would have taken this RX had I known how it would make me feel. I kept getting pushback and was told to finish out the 7 days. Miserable experience!

I never had physical symptoms of BV, i found out I had it from lab testing, so I don’t know how well the pills were working. I do know that while on this antibiotic, for the five days that I was on it, I experienced dizziness, headaches, irritability, depression, loss of appetite. I also experienced non-stop heart palpitations for days. I ended up switching to the gel after going to the hospital for the heart palpitations, and it was so much better. No side effects at all. Would definitely recommend the gel over the pill Read More Read Less

I have been taking this for the past week first few days was OK 3 was hit with massive earache and tiredness. And all the side effects under the sun . I am 38 weeks pregnant and it's the worst I have ever felt. I wad completely fine and didn't even feel ill before taking them now I'm feeling like a bus as run me over :( not even been able to take anything really for the side effects. Last day today and I can't wait for these to be out my system!!!

I was really nervous of side effects, but my experience has been fine on metronidazole! The skin irritation I was experiencing is mostly gone - mostly and not completely because I now have a yeast infection. The pills are dry and taste bad but taking them with food and water helps a lot, I only have a slight metallic taste in my mouth with certain foods. It’s inconvenient not being able to drink alcohol on it, but overall I would take this again with no hesitation if needed.

I am on day 4 of 7 with taking this medication for the first time. The first 2 days was fine but day 3 I was super nauseous and tired all day then on day 4 I woke up with a bad headache and the tiredness continued. Also taking this medication gave me a BAD yeast infection. I found the pills hard to swallow and would leave a lingering taste that would not go away. Taking 2 250mgs in morning and night. So 4 pills a day. All in all I’m not liking these pills at all…

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
