FLAGYL  (METRONIDAZOLE):  Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat a wide variety of infections. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria and parasites. This antibiotic treats only certain bacterial and parasitic infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. Metronidazole may also be used with other medications to treat certain stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by a bacteria (H. pylori).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  suspected giardia severe headache, vomiting, chills, confusion, sleepy, dizziness, tachycardia, decreased coordination, facial puffiness, red eyes, dry sinuses and eyes, stiff neck, dark colored urine, voice changes CHECK YOUR SKIN CARE AND OTHER TOPICAL PRODUCTS FOR HIDDEN ALCOHOL! I abstained from alcohol for 3 days prior, but was still sick during 2 separate rounds of this drug. I wasn't sure I could finish the prescribed amount, but found this web site and after reading many posts, went through all my skin care products, shampoo, soap, etc. I found I was using 4 products with alcohol (witch hazel, ethanol, ethyl ether, and others with the word "alcohol"). I stopped using most of these the last 2 days of treatment and only had some dizziness and mild nasal congestion after that - a breeze relative to what I'd been through. I accidentally used a hand lotion and hair conditioner that had ingredients with the words alcohol but didn't get sick from them. I think it was the wart medication and/or the sprayed facial toner. Bottom line, these were enough to make me violently sick. F 52 4 days

Patient History
 1  BV My tastebuds are destroyed from taking this oral med. the pill itself is large and extremely bitter. Very difficult to mask the bitterness. I do not believe there is any obvious change in my original dx, which I doubt I had, and therefore feel like it was a complete waste of time and left me miserable. F 53 7 days

 1  PID Extremely fatigued. Lethargic. Lightheaded. Loss of appetite. After the third day, I began to think that I was hearing people on the sidewalk talking right next to my ear instead. By the fourth day I developed a severe migraine that lasted all day and made me sensitive to light and sound. I am a pre-medical student who has worked in several hospitals, and am very aware of the consequences of ending an anti-biotic regimen early. I am willing to take those risks this one time in my life because of Flagyl's side effects. Please research this medication before taking it and determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks. This medication is illegal in the European Union for its carcinogenic effects on five lab animals. Take other antibiotics if you have the option. F 26 14 days

I took this for 3 days and on day 3 I had to go to the E.R. because 20 minutes after taking a pill I couldn't breath unless I took deep breaths through my mouth. They told me it was an adverse reaction. Horrible drug. The E.R. Doc said it is a horrible drug. F 20 3 days

 3  Sinusitis Due to Low Immune System This is an exceptionally strong antibiotic, and it should only be used in extreme situations and with great caution. I suffered a terrible and constant headache, nausea, body aches, joint pain, and none of this even mattered compared to the emotional component-- I cried every hour on the hour. I was warned by my doctor, thank God, but this did not ease my suffering. I can only imagine how people who already have suicidal tendencies might react... And then, after all this, I still have my infection. I gave three stars because I feel that this antibiotic would resolve most infections, but took off two stars: anything that makes you feel like you're going to die, or worse, wish that you would, should only be used in the rarest of cases.
