"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."

"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)."

"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."

"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 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."
