How do I use Metronidazole?
Metronidazole is an oral medication that can be taken with or without food. The dose and how often you take metronidazole will depend on severity of the infection you are treating. It is always important to finish a course of antibiotics even if the infection appears to have cleared or you start to feel better. This prevents the infection returning.

This stuff works if you can get through it. Have taken it along with Cipro many times for bouts of diverticulitis and once when hospitalized with C Diff. Now that I’m in my 70s is really hard to deal with the side effects. Calling doctor now to see if there’s anything else I can take besides this. This was a milder case of the sickness. So harsh on the body.

I’m always skeptical about taking new meds. Especially after reading bad reviews. But I had BV for about 6 months before I finally went to my obgyn and talked to her. I’m so glad I did. After 2 days with metronidazole, I was back to normal. And no bad side effects. A little nausea at first. But nothing that I couldn’t tolerate. And they do taste awful. But it’s well worth it!!

No side effects. Here’s how I did it: I ate about an hour before, then at the time of taking the pill I took it with a big gulp of ginger ale, (even though I don’t normally drink soda) I did this because I read that the pill tastes horrible. I am on my last day of pills and I haven’t tasted a thing since I started. Although I was prescribed this medicine without ever having symptoms of BV I truly don’t think this medication is all that bad. Please take comfort knowing that you will be fine. Just make sure you eat a bit before, have a cracker after and just continue on your way. You can also add a probiotic into your routine, which I did in between taking the 2 pills a day. Just don’t freak yourself out about the nausea and vomiting like I did! Oh and I also didn’t feel “out of it” or dizzy like some other reviews. Ultimately everyone is different so try it for a day and see how you feel. I just want to give you guys some hope :)

O-M-G! This is the worst pain ever! Not only do you feel like you have the flu × 10, the abdominal cramping and burning is horrendous! I have to continue with this though so I get well enough to start another poison! Chemo….what a week I’ve had!

So I was given this med for Trich that I got from a partner from several months ago but only in the last 3 weeks I started having symptoms and I have never heard of Trich before!? I thought maybe I had a yeast infection or something, never even had one at over 30 years old! Being in an open relationship which I should have mentioned prior, the guy who had given it to me was kind enough to get meds for me and I took the four 500mg pills. Now after reading the side effects I was so worried and I was so nervous that I would be so ill I couldn’t care for my year old baby, but NOTHING has happened? Maybe I’m lucky? I did take a Benzo right before but I would make sure you ask a doctor prior but I have a script. Now this one dose is supposed to take away my symptoms and honestly it’s just discharge and some off scent, nothing too bad. Excited to see if it works so quickly!

I have used metronidazole before for gum disease (tooth abscess – highly effective). This time I had smelly burps caused by giardia (difficult to diagnose). Flagyl wiped the smelly burps fast. I got slight nausea but not much – I no longer drink alcohol (which helps!). Incidentally I get severe reaction to Ciprofloxacin (tendons breaking and horrendous suicidal feelings) so I am aware of the negative side effects many other users report. For me this stuff works, thank God.

Was prescribed metronidazole for BV. My obgyn told me to take it 2x a day for a week. On day 3 of it currently. At first it wasn’t so bad. The taste it absolutely horrible. I thought my pharmacist gave me a bad batch of pills until I read the reviews on it and found out I wasn’t the only experiencing an awful taste. My discharge is completely gone so I will say it is immediately effective. The side effects however are awful and if I knew about them before hand, I would have asked for an alternative. This medication has given me horrible migraines, constantly tired, and a sudden lose of appetite. I can honestly say I will never ever want to take this medication again and I can NOT wait to be off of it!

I have been on metronidazole for almost 4 out of the 10 days now. I am taking it for my wisdom tooth removal to prevent an infection. So far I’ve been feeling very weak, not sure if its from the medicine or lack of my usual eating. Besides feeling weak, I have been getting winded pretty easily. Also stomach pains which I believe are from the medicine. Besides those , I haven’t had many other symptoms from the medicine I believe.

I took the single 2g dose for trich yesterday. I was hesitant because of all the other reviews but I’m also not one with hyper sensitivity to meds, nor am I on any other prescription medications. I take a daily probiotic and mega B vitamin… Anyway, I took the dose after work and with a meal. The taste isn’t great but it’s nothing to spazz about either. After a couple of hours, I felt tired and only slightly nauseous, I briefly felt like I was going to throw up (watery mouth) but didn’t. I went to bed, had vivid and odd dreams (strange listed side effect), mild metal taste in my mouth as expected and have slightly darkened urine. It’s only been 24 hours but I can tell the major symptoms are starting to go away. Take with food on a day off/after work and wash down the pills with some sort of juice. None of the symptoms from the meds are as bad as having trich or BV so I highly recommend!
