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  stomach pain/bowel problems To be fair to the drug I must say it was tolerable . It did make me feel out of sorts but most antibodies will do that. I took it with yogurt or milk and that seemed to help. I had a little nausea and will be glad when I am finished with this drug. I am on day five and have 2 more days to be finished. It has helped with my problems. I did have a metallic taste in my mouth that I counteracted with peppermint candy. F 68 14 days

 1  diverticulitis nausea, loss of appetite, mood changes, severe diarrhea, This is the WORST medication I have ever been on. It is so hard on my stomach. It is impossible to even leave the house. The doctor called to see how I was feeling and I told her. She told me to continue with the CIPRO but STOP the FLAGYL. I thought you always had to finish the antibiotics prescribed. F 62 3 days

 4  H pylori infection Metallic taste, headache, poor sleep, anxious feelings, dizziness Am taking this is combination with Biaxin, which has very similar side effects. However, considering what I was experiencing due to the infection (20 lbs weight loss in 3-weeks, constant vomiting/nausea), these side effects are worth it. Yogurt and probiotics really do help with the GI side effects, but not with the mental health/sleep issues. F 47 14 days

 1  abcess tooth Lethargy, Depression/Anxiety, Feeling of being poisined. Note that if you are an athlete or runner, for a week after taking this stuff, I suffered from some asthma and a rapid heart beat when exercising (a 30-40 beats a minute faster than normal exercise rate). If you excercise rigourously or do distance running, you might feel a decrease in your performance until this jumk gets out of your system. I would love to know if there is anything "better" M 52 7 days

I almost went to the hospital because I could not keep anything down and kept dry-heaving or vomiting water ever five minutes. Yes, every five minutes. THIS IS AN AWFUL DRUG!!!!!!!!! F 33 1 days

 4  cdiff After 2 days I experienced horrible nausea, heartburn type pain, so bad I could hardly sleep. I then tried NAUZENE over the counter medicine for nausea. HUGE difference, thank goodness it worked wonders. I chewed two about an hour after each pill. Nauzene (over the counter chewables for nausea) chew 2 after each pill, NO MORE nausea!!! It works excellent, now I can finish the 10 days! F 41 10 days

 1  BV Within 20 minutes of the FIRST dose I began to itch. Within 6hrs I had blotches of a red hot rash all over! My face was swollen, my lips turned blue, my urine was like a broze color. I felt nausea, dizzy, and had afever/chills. Loss of appetite. My mouth was SO dry, it hurt. This was the worst! I was on vacation when this started so it sucked really bad! After using benadryl, hydrocortizone, and chalymyl it finally started improving after more than 48hrs. F 37 1 days

 5  suspected anaerobic infection vg Made sure I took these during big meals and didn't have any great side effects at all. After first tablet felt a bit dizzy but that went away and I was thirsty towards the last two days. I was surprised as the doctor and chemist said it would make me feel nausea - guess the high carb food I ate at the times I took the tablets stopped that from happening. They were prescribed as a last resort even though I didn't test positive to anything at all - but after seven days I'm really well with no symptoms so I'm happy. Not as bad as I was told they would be. F 49 7 days

 1  C diff Felt ill after 2 doses. Extreme nausea, terrible headache, dark urine, white tongue. Possibly emotional side effects, I tended to "zone out" for hours at a time. Will do whatever I can to avoid taking this drug ever again. The pills tasted absolutely horrible, but taking them with food (like applesauce or yogurt) helped ALOT. I took Meclizine (otc motion sickness relief) and Advil twice a day with my pills and it took away the nausea and headache!!! I also began to drink a full glass of milk with each dose and that helped as well. My pharmacist was super helpful with advice. They can give you alot of help if you just ask :) F 21 10 days

 3  womb infection Weakness,dizzy,numbness,tingly on left hand side of body from head to toe. burning red hot pain sensation on lefthand side of body. lack of concentration, poor coordination, bad taste, furred tongue Was given this in hospital for possible infection after hysteroscopy. Started to feel odd within 3 days. Finished the course. Still felt really ill constant dizziness, weakness all over numb arms. Doctors put me on second course, while i still felt the same. Its now 9 WEEKS on i have just spent 8 days in hospital ct scan, mri scan, lumbar punch,with all symptoms of multiple sclerosis. But not. Been told possible peripheral neuropathy caused from flagyl....no one picked up on the symptoms whilst taking the pills. Not sure how long this will last. BE AWARE OF THE SYMPTOMS THESE TABLETS HAVE. my experience has been a severe rare reaction so i have been told. dont mean to scare anyone, but i dont want my experience to happen to anyone else. Most people will have no side effects whatsoever. just make sure you read the leaflet with the tablets. Because i didnt as i got them in hospital and wasnt given any warnings. F 31 14 days
