For Bacterial Infection "No side effects at first. On a 7-day treatment, 2 times a day. By day 5, I noticed I've had severe insomnia, an extremely dry nose, headache, a general feeling of being unwell. But the infection felt cured, so that's good. Don't swallow toothpaste like another reviewer suggested, just try to put it way back in your mouth to swallow it fastest. Take with food! It's not good for people to swallow toothpaste 2 times a day. Stomach upset on day 5 as well. More like bad indigestion and always hungry, even though I ate. But with only three pills left, I'm determined to finish treatment. If it doesn't work for you and you are trying to treat BV, even if pregnant, ask if you can try the vaginal gel if you can't take the side effects of this medication."

For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "Absolutely awful reaction to this drug, Flagyl. I have never been so sick on any medication. Was prescribed for a puncture wound to avoid infection but honestly cannot say if it worked or not, although the infection was prevented. However, I was completely dysfunctional with side effects from the Flagyl, including shocking headache, sore throat, hallucinations, dizziness, sore back, upset stomach, sinus reaction, and extreme fatigue."

For Bacterial Infection "I take this medicine with amoxicillin because I had a severe tooth infection and the pain was horrible. After 3 to 4 days, slowly I felt better. I feel dizzy, have a stomachache, and am sleepy sometimes, but it is okay. I will continue this meds until 10 days. I hope and pray everything will be okay after that."

For Bacterial Infection "Prescribed this drug to take twice a day for 7 days for BV. Noticed after day two the symptoms were subsiding. For the first 6 days, I took it straight after lunch and dinner with a bottle of water. Had barely any side effects apart from on day 3 I woke up feeling nauseous and with a headache, but nothing major at all. And on day 7 I forgot to take the drug after my dinner, so I ended up taking it 4 hours later and noticed a slight tummy ache. Overall, I would definitely recommend this drug for BV."

For Bacterial Infection "I have taken a number of medications in my life, but this stuff has to be the worst experience of my life. I felt so sick: nausea, vomiting, stomach aches, dark urine, and felt very depressed and very tired. I definitely will never, ever take this stuff again. I'm certain it made my life a nightmare!"

For Bacterial Infection "On Flagyl, my urine turned a very dark color no matter how much water I’d drink. The first day, I had stomach cramps, but nothing too crazy. I had little to no appetite, but I HIGHLY recommend getting in two meals to take with each pill (I’d like to think this fights back against nausea and headache). Did the 2 pills for 7 days package. All in all, the BV cleared up, but I wouldn’t want to take this again."

For Diverticulitis "In combination with Cipro, it helps make the pain go away. I'm stuck on a flare somehow. I've learned if you take these 90 minutes apart, you don't get nearly as bad stomach problems. Used to get moderate headaches from these 2."

For Bacterial Infection "So far, I have had some stomach cramping, but at least the doctor in the hospital told me what to expect. I'm getting better."
