For Bacterial Vaginosis "This medicine was literally death. I was prescribed 500 mg, taking 4 tabs a day for two days, meaning I had 2,000 mg in my system the first day, and the second day I felt horrible. I hate the feeling, it gave everything a nasty taste as hell."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Got prescribed 2 pills daily for 5 days to treat BV that my doctor thought would not be treated by metronidazole (spelling?) or basically any vaginal creams. It's been two days now, and I'm only starting to feel better. Definitely not as bad as it was before, but also not 100% there yet. I'm surprised by the comments about metallic taste and nausea. I have a very weak stomach and take antibiotics very poorly, except this one has really been a charm. I forget that I'm even on it throughout the day. I made sure to eat big breakfasts and dinners before taking my doses. Slight headache that goes on and off throughout the day, but really nothing compared to other antibiotics and their side effects. Have yet to experience the metallic taste."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Very fast acting and effective. I've only taken the first dose, and my symptoms have pretty much disappeared. Definitely have a weird, bitter, metallic taste, but no other side effects. That said, I'm a moderately heavy drinker, but I definitely will abstain from drinking, as is instructed. Also, make sure to take it with food, it may prevent the other, more severe side effects."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I just got prescribed the tinidazole pill, 4 of them for two days, once a day. I took the pill, and I have this horrible taste in my mouth. At first, I thought my juice was expired, so I brushed my teeth and everything, and then drank water, and it’s like water made the taste so much worse? So yeah, I have a bitter metal taste in my mouth. I have a big fear of throwing up, so hopefully I don’t. I mean, I haven’t, and it’s been 4 hours, so I think I’m okay. This taste is just so gross."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I get BV every few months because I have the Mirena. I've used the Metro pills and gel, they don't work. I took this (4 pills x 2 days). It made me feel so sleepy and dizzy when I woke up the next day, I had to call out of work! It made me that sick. So my doctor prescribed 2 pills daily for 7 days. On my third day, I haven't gotten any symptoms from the medicine yet. Hope this time it will clear it up finally for good..."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I have been having bacterial vaginitis for more than 8 years. In the first year, I walked into a pharmacy, saw the drug Tinidazole, and just bought about 5 packs of 2g-4 tablets each. I took 4 tablets for 3 days without a prescription. I'm a registered nurse, and within those 3 days, I felt relieved, but because of the serious metallic taste, I reduced it to 2 tablets 2 times daily. That is how the infection resurfaced for more than 8 years. I have tried several drugs, they did not work, there was no odor, but I felt irritation sometimes. In the last seven days, I decided to risk taking it again without a prescription, I have just taken it for the 7th day, 4 tablets. I hope to take a High Vaginal Swab after this, though the side effects are terrible: metallic taste, severe headache, sometimes nausea, rapid pulse. I just hope I can complete 10 days before giving up. Lest I forget, in Nigeria, it is one of the cheapest antibiotics."

For Trichomoniasis "I was diagnosed with trichomoniasis last October, started using metronidazole, and it wouldn't work. Fast forward to May when the CDC had to take over my case to find out I contacted a very rare form of antibiotic-resistant trichomoniasis. They prescribed what they call a huge dose of tinidazole, so 2 pills 3 times a day for 2 weeks. I am now on my 3rd day and absolutely miserable. I can't sleep, I can barely eat, I feel like I'm about to have a stroke, but I have no choice if I want to get rid of this. My insurance did not cover this, and the cost was $1,075.00 just for the generic, the brand name was almost $3,000."

For Trichomoniasis "I have BV and Trich and kept this stuff in my pantry for almost a year (3 weeks before it expired) because I was terrified of the reviews on this stuff. I felt fine, ate fine, the only problem was the awful taste in my mouth and trying to drink anything with this taste was awful. It wasn’t so bad if I ate a bite of something, then chugged some water, but it’s safe to say I didn’t get in as much water as I should have. I realize the dosage for BV is double what I took. I took 1 gram at 11 a.m. and then the next 1 gram at 6 p.m. I took the pills on Saturday and it’s now Monday and the taste in my mouth is gone, smell below is gone, still having some discharge, but it’s clear. Don’t be afraid of this medicine. I’m aware that everyone is different, but I made sure to take this on a FULL stomach with a couple swigs of milk to coat the stomach better."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Well, today is Wednesday. I just took 4 pills, my 1st day. So, I think I got BV because of damp swimsuits while vacationing in Cancun. We did snorkeling, swimming at the pool, and cave swimming 4 days in a row. I practically lived in swimsuits. Anyway, on top of this, I also ate something, and I've had vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. This pill takes care of it all together. As I'm typing this, I can taste the metallic taste, but it's not too bad. I just wouldn't handle more puking or diarrhea. I'll let y'all know in 3 days."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I was concerned about the side effects, but I really wanted to stop the BV. I'm one of those that has battled with it for years. In about 12 hours, I could feel the difference down there. Now, the side effects: overall, not too horrible. Mild nausea. I can deal with that for another day."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "It works. I was only prescribed 4 pills for 1 day. Treated with this med last year and again last week. I shouldn’t have waited to get treated. But what I NEED to know is... are you all iron deficient like me? Low ferritin! Is the iron deficiency causing BV, or are the iron supplements feeding the BV? I know that’s true, but what about it being the cause? No one cares enough about us BV sufferers to find our cause. I will continue with vaginal boric acid supplements to hopefully ward the BV off."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "This medicine makes me feel like garbage. I am prescribed 8 pills for 2 days. I took one last night and felt like crap for hours. Took another one this morning and was bad for the first hour, then mild. Now time to take another, and I don't want to. This is my second round, and they made me feel worse last time. By day 3, I had to quit. That would be why I'm on it again. I'm trying to do it right this time because I do not want to have to suffer through the medicine a 3rd time! Makes me feel dehydrated. Headachy, metallic taste, nauseated, rapid heartbeat, and gassy. But it does clear up infection."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I had intercourse with a new partner who ejaculated inside me, and I started getting a strange odor. I tested positive for Gardnerella a couple of days later. My doctor prescribed me tinidazole for 2 days, 4 pills a day. I took them all at once for 2 days. She also said I should take norethindrone, the mini pill birth control. I have dealt with BV for a year, and this was a new treatment, so I gave it a shot. After my first dose, nothing seemed to change, second dose, nothing. I just had these pounding headaches and slept for a day straight. I went back to my doctor 4 days later. She said that it takes a full week for the medication to work, even if the dosage is just for two days. After a full week, I ONLY started to smell and feel a difference. I think the pairing of the Tinidazole and birth control is what made the difference. There are a few scientific studies about how the mini pill does WONDERS for BV. I also took Balance Complex and a bucketload of probiotics."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Had a one-night stand (not proud) and took a full STD test to rule everything else out when I was diagnosed with BV. The symptoms were agonizing. Thank God for this med. I took both doses (2gx2) on a full stomach and had no side effects, but BV odor and discharge were eliminated. Now a week later, still free and clear. I also put in boric acid suppositories for the 3 days post-medication and began OTC vaginal probiotics (Nature's Way brand). I am so happy! You take normal vaginal health for granted until you have BV!"

For Bacterial Vaginosis "If I could give this a negative star, I would! WORST side effects ever! So sleepy, don't want to do anything and can't keep anything down! I finished my two days of 4 pills, and on the second day, I started feeling very sick, and now it's the day after, and I can't keep anything down, extremely nauseous, thrown up 5 times! Please eat a LARGE meal before taking this!"

For Giardiasis "I had the worst bout of giardiasis + E. coli combination. 10+ loose stools a day for 8 days before I got treatment. I had lost 15 pounds. Right after taking it, I had some stomachache and mild nausea, but that only lasted for a few hours and was nothing compared to the actual giardiasis symptoms. The next morning when I woke up, I already started feeling 100x better. Appetite returned and my stomach felt much more stable to take in food and liquids."

For Trichomoniasis "I was prescribed two 500 mg pills to get rid of trich. I went to the doctor at 1:30 and left about 3. Maybe an hour or two later, I had horrible diarrhea! My cycle came on a couple of days later, and now the scent is back with a discharge. Did the diarrhea have an effect on the pill?"

For Bacterial Vaginosis "My doctor gave me this since Metro wasn't working for a month. It did get rid of my BV, but I woke up sweating with a very fast heartbeat. My doctor said it wasn't a side effect, but I think it might be with some people. Freaked me out. My BV came back 3 weeks later though."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "This medication is a miracle drug! I had bacterial vaginosis for over 10 years and tried all other meds and boric acid suppositories, but it would always return. I had no side effects at all, and I have been BV-free for almost a year now. This medication was life-changing in the best of ways!"

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I was prescribed to take four 500 mg of tinidazole for 2 days to treat BV. The only side effects I experienced were minor headaches, fatigue, and dryness in my mouth. I was constantly drinking water because my mouth kept getting dry. Other than that, I’ve been fine. The drug worked, and I’m happy. All drugs come with side effects. Just deal with it."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Ladies, I recommend trying this if metronidazole and clindamycin don't work for you. I had a milky white, mostly odorless discharge for ages, it looked and had the same consistency as plain yogurt. Sometimes the doc diagnosed me with BV, but other times I was told it was just regular discharge. I knew, though, that there was far too much, and this didn't start until about 6 months after I got a vaginal IUD for the first time. Even after I got the IUD removed, though, the discharge continued, and I was prescribed everything from Solosec to clindamycin to metronidazole, all oral and then vaginal gels and suppositories as well. NOTHING even made it go away once, it was persistent. Then, recently, I got a fishy odor accompanying the consistent discharge, and I thought for sure this is BV. Did some research online and thought I'd ask my doc for tinidazole this time around. I also got metronidazole and took that for 7 days first, then took the tinidazole and a Flagyl. It worked!"

Tinidazole for Giardiasis "I was (incorrectly) diagnosed with giardia and took Tindamax. I had a horrible reaction with nausea and diarrhea. This went on, and I ended up hospitalized for days. The bad taste in your mouth lasts a LONG time after you take the medication. It takes a long time to clear your system, as this is a long-acting medication. The reaction I had sounds like what is supposed to happen if you drink alcohol while taking it. I am certain I did not drink alcohol, but I got this ill anyway. The real bummer is that after I took it, I was told the lab made a mistake and I did not actually have giardia!!"

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I just wanted to add once reading these reviews that while this treats BV, Tinidazole is also an anti-parasitic, so some of the negative side effects and emotional ones I read people were having are directly related to and are due to die-off symptoms of parasites. I just did a 2-month parasite, heavy metal, and candida cleanse and learned about parasites in excess. Very beneficial to detox yearly."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I have been suffering from either BV or trich for years. I have been tested for both several times but nothing comes up. Green discharge and sometimes fishy smell. I tried metronidazole a few times but always stopped a day or two in due to the side effects. I took 2 500mg pills yesterday at 2 pm after a big meal, and then 2 pills at 6 pm after another meal. I didn’t notice any side effects except I couldn’t sleep, but maybe I was anxious about side effects. This morning I have a metallic taste in my mouth, but that is nothing compared to the way I felt when taking metronidazole."

Tinidazole for Bacterial Vaginosis "Well, I can say the taste, the headaches, the cramps, the fast heartbeat, which caused my severe anxiety to go bananas, is due to this med. Day 5 now, I feel like it's back. Ugh!!!! I don't get it. My muscles hurt too. It's making my pain from open surgery worse! Oh, and a loose stool an hour after taking it."
