"I've only had to deal with a mild metallic taste for the two days of treatment. It seems to leave the first day after treatment. Tindamax works quickly to get rid of the bacterial vaginitis, which I deal with on a more than regular basis to the point that I can now diagnose myself -- I just call the doctor and he calls in the prescription. I like that I only need to take it for two days and then I'm done and the bacterial vaginitis is gone... once again."

"I was treated with 4 pills once per day for 2 days. I was nervous about the side effects, but they were very mild. The only side effects I noticed were a slight discoloration of my urine and a mild metallic taste in my mouth. I always was pretty tired all day. It wasn't anything keeping me from my day-to-day, but I found it easy to oversleep. All in all, it cleared up the vaginosis quickly. Also, be careful because this medicine may give you a yeast infection, but nothing a little prevention can't handle (I used cranberry pills, ate yogurt daily, and increased my water intake)."

"My insurance covered some, but good thing Tindamax gives a discount card for prescription. I have suffered with bacterial vaginitis off and on for 4 years. Finally got a prescription for Tindamax, and it was the only thing that cleared it up for a few weeks. When my period came, the bacterial vaginitis came back! On round 2 of Tindamax now. Hopefully, it gets rid of it for good. 4 pills, 2 days. I get a really nasty metallic taste and nausea, but the few weeks I was without bacterial vaginitis, it was definitely worth it!"

"Battled bacterial vaginitis for years before I found out about Tindamax. It worked wonders my first round of it, 4 pills, 2 days. I got it again a year later, and this time ... side effects kicked in big time. My fingers were sore, severe muscle aches, red inflamed spots on my chest, fever, and headaches. It lasted 1 whole day, but the bacterial vaginitis was gone and I haven't had it since, but it gave me a yeast infection."

"The nausea alone is what made me give this medication a 1. Not only are you over-the-top nauseous, but the tired feeling and nasty metallic taste are overwhelming! I will most definitely be calling my doctor tomorrow for the gel."

"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."

"I'm on the tinidazole right now. It has caused me severe nausea and severe headaches that I can't even treat with Tylenol 3. My head hurts all day."

"I used it about 2 months ago for bacterial vaginitis, and it went away but came back now. Bacterial vaginitis is horrible. This is the only thing that cures it."

"I have dealt with bacterial vaginitis for more than 4 years. This is the only medication that I've ever tried other than Flagyl. I like it better because I did not have the metallic taste in my mouth, and the pills are coated, so you can't taste them. I did not have any side effects whatsoever, and all of my symptoms had ceased in 2 days, but I finished the full 2 pills a day for 5 days of treatment. I also took Diflucan along with the medication just in case it would have caused a yeast infection."
