 1  BV Horrible metalic taste. goes away but the heartburn it causes does not. stomach ache. headache. tiredness. i feel like sleeping all of the time. i have to say that the heartburn is the worst, similar to pregnancy. and dont forget the diarhia this causes. i was prescribed this for a 7 day 500mg twice a day treatment. the infection went away for about a week and then came back. now i had to take it again. 4 pills at once, then twice a day for twelve days. the worst part is that if you dont eat enough yogurt it can cause a yeast infection. uhhhh!!!

 1  Tooth Infection Constant nausia, tiredness, confusion, forgetfullness, dizzyness did I say nausia? In short hangover from hell, it just wont go away! All of these are in equal amounts as well not just waited slightly to dizzyness etc. They are all 100%. Also strange light sensetivity with light being very bright to me. See how forgetfull I am ! I have tried two times to remember to type that I have a rash apeared on my elbow as well and kept forgeting. This stuff sucks. I just hope it works, I tried penecilin and it didnt :( M 31 3 days

 3  tooth infection bad taste, nausea, stomach upset, headache, vomitting, disoriented, confused. Was prescribed this with amoxycillin by my dentist in prepration for oral surgery. After 2 days , called the dentist that I couldn't take the drug anymore but he said I need to take at least 5 more days worth. So I stuck with it. I placed a tablespoon of chocolate syrup on my tongue, and drop the pill in there and swallow quickly, this helps a lot with the stomach upset. I took this for 15 days. after the 10th day, the symptoms were less. It cleared my infection after 5 days and I was able to proceed with the oral surgery M 40 15 days

 3  Periodontal Prophylaxis Most disturbing was waking up daily with a low grade hangover and flu type symptoms. Stomach upset as well as metallic taste. I have been a pharmacist for over 30 years and even had to take a course of MTNZ about 20 years ago, but never had side effects as these nor read about them in medical literature. M 55 7 days

 3  suspected tooth abscess Although relief was immediate after 1st dose (taken in conjunction with Amoxicyllin 500mgx3 per day), I have nausea, an itchy, rashy face, dark smelly urine, disgusting wind and feel like I've been drinking liquid metal, which has left a burning sensation in my gullet! Only day 3/7, but have to stop! Can't deal with this poison! Just had a patronising nurse from NHS Direct on the phone giving me a lecture. Feel like holding him down and shoving a week's dose down his throat!!! F 47 3 days

 2  Dental abcess Severe stomach cramps, slight pains in chest, anxiety, headaches, strong metallic taste in mouth. Wow! first time ever leaving comment on any website, compelled to. If ever get another abcess will never accept this drug. Strangely no pain with my abcess so i can't even think well this is better than having the abcess pain. Whatever they used prior to this drug being invented will do for me. This is by far the worst medication I have ever taken. Going to reduce it by half the 400 3x daily dose (7 day treatment) i'm on and see if that helps. If not i'm off it and i'll take my chances. You know I want my abcess to go away however i don't want to feel like i'm at deaths door whilst doing it. I think this is a sledgehammer to crack a nut. M 36 3 days

 1  BV Extreme fatigue, buring urination,cloudy dark urine, headaches, and lack of sleep and constipation. Irritability, depression. I am so glad I found this site. I thought it was just me. When I called my doctor he said keep using and oh by the way if you get a yeast infection just go get some medicine at the drug store, I can't believe how terrible this medicine is! I will not take this again. F 50 7 days

 3  BV I am having major head issues. A lot of dizziness and feel loss of coordination..feeling motionsickness when turn head from side to side. Definitely experiencing anxiety, and don't know if it's from the pills (I have been off of them almost 3 days now) or if it's because I am nervous about my head feeling wierd. Side effects started around the 3rd day of the medicine, and I have been off almost 3 days now and have not subsided. I am probably going to call the dr today. However, this really helped with my infection and worked well. F 26 7 days

 1  Suspected womb infection My daughter was given this during chemotherapy treatment for leukaemia. She experienced severe nausea and several of the other listed side effects but more worryingly she developed a tremor in her jaw that became so severe after a few day she couldn't speak and had difficulty swallowing. The docs thought it was a neurological problem due to the leukaemia but it ended up being a toxic reaction to this drug. It caused an inflammation of her white brain matter. Nobody has ever listed this kind of reaction before and for 6 weeks the docs kept telling us it was something else causing the reaction until they ruled everything else out and had to admit that it was the drug - which we'd been saying from the beginning as the symptoms only came after taking it and went after we refused to allow my daughter anymore of it. Watch out - if it can happen to us it could happen to you. Trust your body - if you think something is happening that isn't right and you think it's the drug insist that they take you off it. Just because the literature doesn't report it doesn't mean it can't happen. F 39 7 days

There has to be something else. Told my husband that the next time I complain about mundaine symptoms, to remind what the cure could be. Couldn't complete the course. F 27 2 days

 2  Post Tooth Extraction pain I haven't experienced any side effects so far, I feel tired but I already did before going to see the dentist, I only took it like an hour ago, but it doesn't seem to have actually done anything yet when I thought tablets take like 20mins to work.. Gagged when taking it because the tablet started dissolving on my tongue with the water I was drinking. Not sure if I can still take paracetamol/ibuprofen along with these or if it will affect the effectiveness of my mini-pill. F 18 1 days

 4  vaginal infection I experienced a terrible headache or even worst, like migraine because the pressure was on the right side of my head and also on my eye. The night after I took this medication i felt like pinching needles on my chest. I tried to relax and it helped me a lot. It worked for me right away because the discharge went away 1 day after i took this medication. But my ginecologist prescribed this medicine for 5 days. Do i have to suffer 3 more days? F 43 5 days
