Solosec (secnidazole) "I took the medicine 9/27/19. Whoever said that this medication doesn't change the taste of food, needs to be fired. Well, I guess in a sense it doesn't. But the granules itself taste horrific. Once I got pass the initial urge to chew, swallowing about 6 tablespoons of yogurt, I made it thru. I waited patiently for the nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, etc. Fortunately, I haven't experienced any of that as of yet. It's been 24 hrs and I already feel better. I will say that I didn't do what everyone else did and drink alcohol. Regardless of what the the packet say, you should know better than to drink alcohol with an antibiotic. That being said, I'd much rather stomach this one time nasty stuff than to take a pill twice a day for seven days."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I have heavily researched BV which I have been plagued with for about 7 years now. No explanation from docs. Prescribed this and the co pay for solosec was $100. But I was desperate. mixed with a cup of applesauce, texture/taste was tolerable, took at 3pm by 6:30pm same night had a headache also had 1.5 glasses of wine since trial studies showed no contraindication. By 9:30pm I was nauseous. Then 10:30pm puked. I felt fine afterwards was able to sleep all night and woke up fine. My symptoms have gone. I will update this review in a few months. I am hoping Solosec will cure my recurrent BV infections for good. Sick of living like this. Apparently it is supposed to cure most drug resistant BV case. We’ll see. I can deal with a headache and puking for one night VS having to take a 7-10 day antibiotic, get a yeast infection, can’t have a drink all for BV to come back. Benefits outweigh risks in my opinion."

Solosec (secnidazole) "As a diabetic, I get yeast infections often, however this one was different. I didn't itch or get the whole cottage cheese combo but it was more like a bladder leak. I had been off my diabetic meds during a time while I was laid off without insurance. So when I started the medication again it hit my privates UTI, yeast infections and finally the BV. You have not been embarrassed until your 3 year old nephew ask, "whats that smell". So I make the appointment with my doctor and she tells me about this wonder drug Solosec. I dumped in chocolate pudding, gave it a whirl with my spoon and 3 bites later it was gone. Now, there was some deep breathing and prayers being sent up during each bite but I made it. That was yesterday at 8:30pm. And as of right now, no headache,nausea, or vomiting. My privates are not sweating today and my inner thighs are not chaffed. So, yes I would take this medication again."

Solosec (secnidazole) "First experience with BV at 43 yrs old, recently had my Gallbladder removed so wasn't sure if the issues came from that. Dr prescribed Solosec for me, reading these reviews last night made me scared to try ALMOST. I went today and got the medicine and took it at work. I did eat something and took it with a dairy free yogurt. No upset stomach, no nausea, slight headache but could be from my hair in bun. Overall, taste was terrible but manageable to get down and no after taste. I took a few bites whole of yogurt then drank water, continued until completely gone. Then are my salad and finished the bottle of water. No issues since 1045 am and it is 6pm now, so far so good but anything is better than the infection. Suggestions, no alcohol as it seems to make the medicine symptoms worse per the reviews and definitely eat something."

Solosec (secnidazole) "Where do I start, well, I was one who read the reviews after taking it - wrong move. I have been sick for four days now. My dr said this was a great med well that's because it's a new drug and they want to push it on!!! I am fatigued, I feel anxious, and now I have thrush I'm itching. Why in the world would you prescribe this when the cream worked fine for me. I am highly allergic to everything so I am having a bad reaction to one of the ingredients. Stick to the old gal 7 days is better than feeling sick!"

Solosec (secnidazole) "I took Solosec Sunday with applesauce (it is now Tuesday) & it was GROSS, so much so it left a bitter taste in my mouth for a while. I wouldn't necessarily recommended it, but I also wouldn't not recommended it (to each its own) it does seem to be working as far as treating my bv. No odor, discharge, itching, etc. I tried this method for treating my bv because its only a one time dose, but if it was to come back (I really hope it doesn't) I would not want to take this again. The taste, nausea, & cost are a no from me."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I didn’t even know I had BV until an annual pap in April. Pill and gel form flagyl did not work for me. My dr gave me some solosec to try. I put it in yogurt (could barely get it down was so disgusting and NO I did not chew) I slept for 12 hours after taking it because it made me so tired. The next day I felt nauseous and light headed. I also had blurry vision. The burning and pain after peeing went away for 2 days. I’m now on day 3 after taking this and the burning and pain is back. Also have green discharge now. I think it might’ve worked for a minute but didnt get the infection all of the way. *sigh* Almost wish I never went to get my annual pap.. because my vagina didn’t hurt until treatments"

Solosec (secnidazole) "I have read many of these reviews and wonder if the people without these experiences just don't report it. I thought there was no taste to the medicine, just have to fight the urge to chew. A couple sips of water to rinse the rest out of my teeth was all that was needed. No metallic taste, nausea, fatigue, or any other the other side effects mentioned. I will, however not chance the alcohol. This is the 2nd time I've used solosec and have had good results. Also, only a $10 copay at the pharmacy my Dr. recommended."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I just wrote a review the other day giving this an 8/10 but now after my 4th day of taking Solosec I am giving it 3/10. Symptoms were gone for a few days up until last night on the 3rd night. Discharge and burning all back with a vengeance. I was hopeful it would work this time as I had fast symptom relief, but now its all back. I'm so sad and depressed. I feel hopeless at this time."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I have been struggling with BV for over 3 months now. I have lost a pregnancy at 13 weeks due to this infection. I have tried 5 rounds of different medications. I tried solosec and it did not cure the BV. It made me sick as a dog the whole day as well as a terrible taste in my mouth for about 3 days after."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I've read all the reviews about how nasty this medicine was and was so nervous. I decided to try something different. I asked the pharmacist if I could take it with nutella. She looked it up....no interactions. I mixed it in. Two spoonfuls and it was gone. Tasted just like nutella. No after taste. I scraped the bowl making sure I got it all. Now let's hope it works fast and gets rid of my chronic BV that I've had on and off for a year and a half!"

Solosec (secnidazole) "Took Solosec for the first time and have to say it’s the best thing that has worked for my BV so far. I’ve been fighting BV for 15 years. Flagyl, Clindamycin no longer worked. It did have an aspirin taste. Medicine usually taste bad anyway, but I just mixed it with a small amount of a fruit smoothie and swallowed it with no issue in one gulp. Been 24 hours and no side effects and smell is going away."

Solosec (secnidazole) "So I made the mistake and read up on the reviews before taking this medication and was immediately scared about taking it. Up until I took it, I was panicking and super anxious because of how bad all the reviews were in regards to the taste. Let me tell you, idk what you guys are talking about but I legit did not taste a thing!!!! I ended up buying some yogurt land and decided to sprinkle in the granules in there. I did swallow each scoop as fast as I could to avoid any taste, but even then I get a little bit of metal taste from it but nothing like the reviews. I literally just took the medication about 30 minutes ago so I can’t say anything about if it actually worked or not. I just wanted to comment on the taste and hopefully put some of you guys at ease.... super hopeful that this will work!!"

Solosec (secnidazole) "I gave SOLOSEC a 5 rating for now... just because the taste was terrible. I’ve read every single review I could find about this and let me tell you it’s definitely not a walk in the park to get it all down. Took me the whole 30 minutes that it tells you you need to consume it by on the packet after you put it in the yogurt. I have been having BV and yeast infections on and off for over a year. I’ve been on amoxicillin, metrogel, oral metronidazole, Clindamycin cream, tinidazole cream, I’ve tried every home remedy from ACV douche to boric acid to tea tree oil to hydrogen peroxide and more. Nothing works. After reading all the reviews and being completely FED UP with not feeling normal down there I decided to ask my dr. about this. I took it today with diflucan and will use boric acid for a week. I will write another review in one week to see if it works. Pray for me ladies!!!!"

Solosec (secnidazole) "Happy it was only one dose, I didn’t have any problem w taste even though was a little bitter , I mixed with yogurt as the dr suggested. Took it at 4:30 pm then drank a lot of water. By 8pm I had light dinner no problem. Next day have breakfast all ok, then lunch I decided to have a light drink aperol spritz and my husband had a refresh drink with vodka, I had two zips it was good, after 30 min , I felt like my brain was foggy , after 40 mini started vomiting for 2 min, then Islept for 2 hrs , I woke up and felt good. And had dinner. drinking alcohol w this medicine is a no no . But they said in the instructions is ok to have alcohol which they are wrong. "

Solosec (secnidazole) "I was prescribed this medicine for BV but never heard of it before. My doctor gave me a coupon to get this medication for $25 and warned me that sometimes women develop a yeast infection in about 4 or 5 days after taking it. So she prescribed me yeast infection medication with it just in case. I also asked my doctor if I could drink alcohol In the same day or days after taking it. I mixed it with applesauce and really didn’t notice a taste at all. I took it on a Monday had 2 beers later that evening and during the 3rd got extremely nauseous and a horrible headache. I had to lay down and the symptoms lasted for at least 3 or 4 hours. My BV symptoms started to go away and I felt so much better but now it’s 5 days later on Friday and it feels like it’s back. Definitely not a yeast infection as I have no discharge and no itching. I would have given 10 stars if it had worked. It was so much better then choking down the normal horrible tasting horse sized antibiotics."

Solosec (secnidazole) "So it’s been an hour since I took the medication....yes it was a bad taste but bearable with applesauce....I have been suffering from BV now for 2 years and it always comes back. I have tried everything and was told about this 1 dose miracle...so far so good nothing is bothering me right now...will post tomorrow to say how it has worked or hasn’t....but I also have a UTI....my Dr. prescribed both drugs for me and didn't say that I couldn’t take them together..."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I never write your views but I feel compelled to do so. This is absolutely the worst medication I have ever taken. Immediately after taking the medication I started feeling nauseous. I’ve been having the most painful headache, nausea, and diarrhea. I feel so dehydrated and have drank over 64 ounces of water in just a few hours. I am hoping that it will flush this medication out of my system."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I took Solosec Sunday with chocolate pudding. I finished it in a few scoops because I just went ahead and swallowed it and did not give it a chance to sit on my tongue/taste it. I’ve had BV for 3 years and I CAN FINALLY go about my day with NO smell and having the embarrassing thought of someone else smelling me. However, I have been feeling a little vaginal discomfort since taking it and having discharge but it doesn’t smell. Hopefully this doesn’t last very long ."

Solosec (secnidazole) "Very bitter taste to it-took it with yogurt and had to swallow it down. Woke up with a metallic taste in my mouth. Made everything taste off, had a headache each day for 4 days, bloated, & nauseated. On day 3 I had 2 corona's and we BBQ some hamburgers for dinner. 2 hours later I was projectile vomiting my dinner. I felt better once I had vomited but I was down the rest of the night. I thought maybe it was bad beef but no one in my family got sick. I felt pregnant (which I'm not) or flu like symptoms. I would not take this again as there are other Rx out there that can help with BV. Yes, the BV is gone but feeling sick for 4-5 days was to much for me."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I was prescribed this because I developed BV/yeast infection from being on weeks of antibiotics for other issues. I mixed the many granules in my vanilla pudding, but trying to eat this was a regrettable experience. The bitter taste got worse as I swallowed, and trying to finish it made me close to vomiting. After, I began developing tremors, and felt queasy for the rest of the night. At this point, I should mention I also have GERD/digestive issues, so while the average person could probably down this better, my mouth was quite bitter to begin with and made it much more difficult to swallow this awful concoction. I also find this hasn’t really done anything to help 18 hours later. In fact, it’s making my stomach feel worse and my infection is still on fire. For those sensitive to medication like me or have other health issues, I do not recommend this at all."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I was very optimistic of this drug even after reading some reviews. I took the packet with yogurt and I ended up finishing it all somehow. I felt nauseous the whole time trying to eat it. About a minute after finishing I projectile vomited all of the medication. What a waste of $90 and my hopes of being bv free."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I took the solosec a little over an hour ago. Some of the comments about the taste are very dramatic. It literally tastes like a pill. If you’re having problems with diarrhea, etc. start a probiotic a few days before. I’ve had no side effects yet. Idk if I will either because I started a women’s care probiotic four days ago. This is my first time having BV. It was originally $79 idk if that was with insurance or not but the coupon from the gynecologist brought it down to $25"

Solosec (secnidazole) "I took this yesterday. I didn’t chew the granules. Just swallowed them quickly in like 4 spoonfuls of yogurt as I don’t think they’re meant to be savored. They’re just a bit bitter but I didn’t get an after taste, that may be from chewing or leaving them in your mouth too long. No side effects at all but it is worth noting I did this after eating dinner and didn’t have any alcohol. This morning the smell appears to be gone so I’m hopeful it’s working! Probably will avoid drinking for a another day or so just to be safe."

Solosec (secnidazole) "I was prescribed Flagyl but when I asked for something with fewer doses and no contraindication to alcohol, as I had an upcoming event involving cocktails, she prescribed this medicine Solosec. She warned me about the taste, but assured me it was completely safe to consume alcohol with this medication. I mixed it in 3 tablespoons of raspberry yogurt, swallowing each spoonful quickly and chasing it with water. Not terrible at all. This was around 1pm. I had a few drinks between 6:30 and 9pm. I was very nauseous by 9:30 and by 10 I was RUNNING to the bathroom. It started with explosive diarrhea leading to drenching sweats that had me stripping off my clothes in the bathroom just in time to bury my head in the trash can. This went on and on the entire night. I felt like I was going to die! It is now 4pm the next day and I have barely managed a few crackers and gingerale, I haven't left the couch for more than a few minutes. Needless to say, I will never take this medication again."
