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)

 5  Giardia None I took 400mgx3/day, and tolerated it so well, I continued till the pills ran out, so 7 full days. I had the full giardia symptoms acutely (aching belly, D&V, reduced appetite, intermittent nausea), but when diagnosed at 14 days later had only intermittent nausea, very low appetite and slightly loose stools. These have been completely eliminated by Flagyl, my appetite reurning in two days and the nausea gone in four. Worst bit was abstinence from alcohol! Whether I am now clear of the cysts, only time will tell, but I shall have a post-treatment check soon. 7 days

 2  Suspected blastocystosis Mostly a metallic taste in my mouth and a slight sense of malaise I can't 'recommend' it because it didn't cure my specific problem and had no apparent effect whatever on abdominal cramping pains suspected to be caused by B. hominis which was seen to be present in stool samples. I know 'Flagyl' is an often effective anti-protozoan treatment but has less efficacy for B. hominis M 54 10 days

 4  Bacteria Infection Bladder Infection I should have known better - this happens to me everytime I take it. So now I am off to the doc to get some Macrobid. Flagyl should have a coating on them terrible tasting pills. F 34 2 days

 5  trich Wow...thought I was crazy. Took this med six months ago (1 pill a day for 7 days) and did not have this reaction. Infection did not cure, so prescribed again for 2 days, 4 pills each time. Nausea, anxiety, sleeplessness, chronic headache, metallic taste, swelling of hands, restlessness, tingling, gas, loss of appetite, irritability. Ask for alternative. Still have yet to find out if i'm cured. I have never had side effects like this before from medication. F 33 2 days

 4  Bacteria Vaginitis Absolutely no side effects whatsoever. I was hesitant to take this drug after reading this site. Although I don't want to minimize the side-effects some people have had on Flagyl, for me, there wasn't one single negative side effect. F 49 7 days

 2  BV Right arm numbness and tingling I am an ER nurse and was put on this med for BV. While I was familar with some of the more common side effects, I was not aware of the neurologial effects until I experienced the arm tingling. I stopped the med immediately and consulted my physician, who switched me to Clindamycin. The arm numbness seems to be transient and improving. While this med has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of quite a few conditions, PLEASE be aware of the potential side effects. F 28 3 days

 4  Diverticulitis Inability to sleep. When I did fall asleep for an hour or so, I'd wake up in a panic with a sense of impending doom. Extreme nausea. No energy. Aching upper arms/shoulders. Headache. I have never posted on one of these things before, but feel my experience may help others. I have NEVER had any side effects from any medications that I know of except this one. I was prescribed this along with Levaquin. By the last helf of the 7 day course the side effects were much milder. I was actually able to sleep the last two nights. Today is my last day, thank the Lord! I truly feel that some of the nighttime anxiety and inability to sleep may have been caused more by the battle going on between the bacteria and the antibiotic. I know that sounds strange, but that is really the only conclusion I can come to. Sure, the last couple of days I have felt a milder version of the side effects I listed, but the first few days, I actually almost quit taking it because I felt the cure was worse than the infection. I also discovered that it is VERY important to take it with AS MUCH food as you can, it helps ease the nausea. My advice is to grit your teeth and finish the full cours F 46 7 days

 4  bv after hysterctomy I've been on this medication before and knew what to expect. The taste is really bad but I find chocolate after the pill helps. As I take this medication (generic) I have been taking Acidophilus ( 2 tablets ) first thing in the morning and make sure I eat Activia yogurt as I am taking it. This keeps the good bacteria up in intestines and keeps the diahrrea away. Personally, I cannot stand this medication but it does work. PLEASE...........try the Acidophilus (you can get it any drug store....it's a dietary supplement ...it also helps to prevent BV in the future) and the yogurt.........good luck all F 48

 3  Bacterial Infection Dry mouth, dizziness, stomache cramps, headaches, legs hurt, irritability. I have been on this twice now in the past two months, the first time I was on it I felt back to normal after 4 days. I am back on day 3, so by tomorrow I am hoping to get rid of this yucky feeling. I think this med. helps to fight the infection, but is very harsh on the body. F 34 3 days

 2  BV Severe nausea, anxiety, dizziness This medicine really sucks, I feel like I'm dying. I can't think straight and the nausea is the worst. I'm only on day 3 and don't know how i'm going to do it for 7 days. I think I'm going to have to make an appointment with my doctor because I can't funcion with this medicine. If anyone knows how long it is suppose to take for bv symptoms to start getting better please email me. F 31 7 days
