| 5 | H-Pylori | Metallic taste, yeast infection and thrush | Aside from the side effects mentioned, I was surprised that I was able to handle these massive amounts of anti-biotics. My symptoms cleared up, but unfortunately my H-Pylori was not killed using prevpac. I must now try another plan of attack. | F | 40 | 14 days | 11/20/2009 | 3 | stomache bacteria | constipation , tired all the time, funny taste in mouth, sharp pain in stomache | i heard it was a good medicine im only on day four, and constipated. | F | 24 | 4 days | 10/14/2009 | 3 | H. Pylori | Nausea, loose stool, dizziness, light headed, metallic taste, sharp pains in stomach for a few days, weakness, tremors. | Taking food before taking medication helps. Also, I recommend ginger for the stomach pains -- helped tremenously. I keep telling myself that it is only a few more days of discomfort and I won't have anymore stomach problems. Unfortunately, I have had to miss a couple days of work because of the side effects. | F | 40 | 5 days | 10/9/2008 | 1 | H. Pylori | anxiety, rising heart rate, tried, weak, Really bad acid reflux | I went to the doctor for my sour stomach and my doctor did blood test for H. Pylori and it came positive. She prescribed Prevpac. After taking it for two days, I developed all the side effects, especially anxiety and acid reflux. The PPI comes with Prevpac doesn't help the acid reflux at all. I stopped and feel so much better now | F | 36 | 2 days | 8/20/2008 | 2 | h-pylori | Prevpac 14 day kit, Doctor says take for 10 days... ..initialy seemed like it works..not on day 6.. indeed awful stuff..feels like respetory and my right side chest inflammed..it is sore..I Pray to God that it get ride of my pains and bacteria..So I pray.....Please any helpful e-mails comment that my help me..please send them to [email protected] | M | 46 | 6 days | 6/11/2008 | 5 | stomach bacteria | I haven't experienced much. But I am extra gassy, and ALWAYS HUNGRY! It's possible that I am experiencing normal hunger, as it's been so long that I've felt hunger. I got a stomach bacteria from contaminated restaurant food (beware of Elephant Bar) and was nauseated, bloated, and always felt like I had just eaten an entire buffet-and could only get a small amount of food down. Now I feel hungry a lot of the time-which is a little uncomfortable-but easier to deal with than my previous symptoms. | I really like this drug, and hope it works. I've only been on it for 4 days now, but if it takes are of my nasty bacteria than it's TOTALLY worth it. | F | 25 | 4 days | 11/28/2007 | 3 | gastric ulcer | extreme nausea-so bad that i had to call off work and didn't want to get out of bad because i thought i would vomit, stomach pains, very gassy, terrible taste in mouth, tired but trouble sleeping, moody, hot flashes and chills, vivid dreams....all of it! | i guess its worth it to cure my ulcer, but it sucks that the medicine they give you for your stomach...messes up your stomach! | F | 19 | 10 days | 8/1/2007 | 5 | H.Pylori/Ulcer | Brief faintness, some diarrhea, "metalic" taste common with some antibiotics | First day taking pills, upon completing the evening dose I felt very warm on my face/flushed, and got a dizzy spell while shopping and needed to sit for a bit. After that incident that feeling never came back again. A bit of diarrhea came ONLY when I woke up early, took my meds, went back to sleep and woke up. However, when I took the meds with breakfast or dinner, I did not have diarrhea. Other than that, no terrible stomach aches or other related problems. The "metalic" taste came within 10-15 minutes of taking the antibiotics. It went away if I quickly drank a glass or two of water. No biggie. Considering how terrified I was to start the Prevpac fearing I'd be sick from the antibiotics, my experience with it was great and my ulcer issues were 99.9% better before even finishing the bacteria-killing wonder treatment. Thank goodness for this med! | F | 22 | 14 days | 5/10/2007 | 3 | H.Pylori | I am glad that the 14 days treatment was finally over! The side effects that I had were: consitpation, yellowish layer on my touge, eyes felt uncomfortable/vision seemed worse, bitter taste in my mouth, chill feeling, stomache felt empty. The first 2-3 days I had light headache, kept waking up throughout the night. | I noticed that drinking more water, especially during the first hour after taking prevpac, would help to decrease the bitter taste. A few times I took it late at night(around 10pm), the bitter taste was much worse the next morning. | F | 49 | 14 days | 10/28/2006 | 1 | H. Pylori, Heartburn | I had all listed side effects plus some of my own. Listed side effects: Diarrhea, Headaches, Taste distortion. Unlisted side effect: my heartburn got much worse - it went totally out of control. I had acid in my mouth. My doctor insisted on me to continue. After 5 days I started coughing up blood - because of irritated esofagus. I stopped taking it. | I know that my side effect is not typical. But before taking this medication my heartburn was not that bad - infrequent and totally under control. After taking Prevpac I still cannot sleep - because my mouth is full of acid and that bitter taste is everywhere. I am taking only Prilosec now trying to control it. | F | 33 | 5 days | 5/21/2006 | 5 | H. Pylori/Ulcer | A bit of direahha only when I took the pills in the morning and went back to sleep for an hour or so. Upon waking up and eating,I had some stomach problems for about a half hour. Other than that, I was VERY pleased with the medication. I was suprised I handled THAT many antibiotics. | THANK YOU PREVPAC! | F | 19 | 14 days | 10/1/2004 | 1 | bacteria in stomache | would not advise anyone to take it .causes bad things to happen to you | F | 60 | 2 months | 2/2/2004 |
