User Reviews for Flagyl

I took this in February of 2008 and in December 2008 I was diagnosed with the same bacterial infection again. The doctor said this is the best medicine available to kill the bacteria. The pills are horrible to take since they are not coated. I've experienced the metallic taste and stomach upset feelings. However, if they work I am willing to withstand this temporary inconvenience.

I had a vaginal infection, and was prescribed Flagyl to cure it. I hated the immediate awful taste in the mouth, and it dissolved immediately upon hitting my tongue. I only experienced the awful taste and some slight stomach upset as side effects. The infection began to clear up after 3 days of a 7 day prescription. I recommend it, and drink something fruity with it. Also, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL while on this medication, OR FOR 3 DAYS AFTER YOU STOP TAKING IT. You WILL have severe vomiting, heaving and dizziness.

I had C-Dif which is a bacteria which is resistant from too many antibiotics. I caught this in the hospital. I was never so sick. Betweem losing weight and the vomiting and diarrhea I thought I was going to die. Flagyl did help but took many months.

I was prescribed this for my bacterial vaginitis infection about 2 weeks ago. I had the one dosage (4 tablets) treatment. The pills taste horrible. I experienced nausea good thing I took them before bedtime. My infection cleared up but now I think I have a yeast infection or it's just vaginal itching and discharge, nothing smelly, so I know it's not an infection. I'm guessing it's a side effect of the pills besides that they're really good!

Oh my! I have experienced bloating, gas and abdominal pain since taking this medicine. The infection does not seem to be clearing up and I only have one day left of a 7 day course of 500mg twice a day. I am tired, have insomnia; and will not take this again. My abdominal pain is extreme! I have been up since 3am and took it this morning; immediately took a bulking laxative after, to put something in my stomach. Will see if this helps!

I've taken Flagyl several times for severe sinus infections. It did help considering the side effects. Currently I began Flagyl 5 days ago 3 x a day for C-Diff ...The C-Diff symptoms were bad enough but the side effects this time are horrible. Severe nausea ,insomnia, itchy hot skin and a general feeling of sickness. I still have 5 more days to go and want to discontinue the medicines.

It has helped me. It's a good medicine.

Horrible side effects. I have had a severe case of flu like symptoms and my body feels as though I have been beaten up but my infection seems to be clearing up!

This medicine has been prescribed to both myself and my husband. It made both of us feel much sicker than the original conditions it was meant to treat.

I have been on this medicine for 3 days. I have insomnia (normally a good sleeper) and headaches since the treatment began. The infection is going away, but I don't know how much longer I can take this medicine.

Had a bad respiratory infection. This worked great! For the metallic taste eat chocolate-peanut butter cups. It really works on getting rid of the taste in your mouth.

I have used this medication several times for bacterial infections. And they do a great job, but this time I am having a headache everyday I've been using it and an upset stomach, but I guess its worth it to get rid of the infection.

I just got off the medicine after a 10 day treatment for C. diff that I got after a week in the hospital. Here's a hint. Ask for it in liquid form. I took it three times a day and the liquid goes down easy and doesn't taste bad at all. I have been off it 4 days and I still have the metallic taste in my mouth. Will be glad when that goes away.

Flagyl works, didn't get any nasty side effects except maybe constipation. Otherwise great.

I just finished a 10 day treatment of 500mg every 12 hours. I am so glad it is over. I experienced stomach aches, metallic taste in mouth which I am still experiencing, as well as tingling/numbness in my tongue. I am also experiencing itchy & a burning sensation in the vaginal area it is uncomfortable. I hope it goes away soon. The only good thing about all this is that I don't have that fishy smell anymore.
