For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I'm currently on day 4 of a 20-day regimen. Drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of rest has helped counter the side effects of this medicine. By day 2, I was exhausted. I slept the majority of the day and night and did not understand that it was because of the medicine until I began reading reviews. Day 3, I experienced headaches throughout the day. I have also experienced extreme moodiness, dark stools, and an aftertaste in my mouth since beginning the medicine. This is my 2nd treatment, and I'm optimistic because I would not want to go through this again. I'm not sure how my next couple of weeks at work will be. I have stopped taking my multivitamins so that the antibiotic won't have any interference, so my energy levels are low."

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I finished this medication a week ago. My side effects during treatment included nausea and fatigue, as well as a strange taste in my mouth. Other side effects after treatment included black stool, fatigue, and brain fog. My strength is still weak, and I took days off too. Do not worry about taking this medication, side effects differ from one person to another. Make sure you drink plenty of water."

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "Today is my 10th day of Pylera medicine. Day 1 to 3 was okay except black stool and had a little bit of stomach ache, but from day 4 until 7, I felt tiredness, nausea felt once or twice, a horrible metal taste in my mouth, occasional abdominal pain, and sometimes dizziness. Day 8 to 10 is just fine except for the bad taste. Guys, if I could do it, you could do it. What I did - drank a lot of water at regular intervals, took light meals, do not, and yes, do not take sugary items (I did once, and that day, the stomach ache was horrible), kept the same time for medicine, had 2 bananas daily. Medicine after the meal with omeprazole. Now I have to wait 8 weeks before the stool test, hope it’s gone. But from tomorrow, no capsules."

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I have been taking Pylera for 3 days. Today, I am not taking it anymore. The side effects are horrible. I know the medicine is supposed to get rid of the H. pylori, but if I already feel bad throughout the day, why would I want to take something that makes me feel worse? Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, black stools!"
