For Bacterial Vaginosis "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!"

For Trichomoniasis "I was diagnosed with trichomoniasis, and where it came from I'm unsure of. I took the 4 white pills as soon as I got them. I didn't experience any major side effects other than feeling flushed (body temperature was rising) and dehydration. I knew the increase in body temp was an indication the medication was at work. I have not yet had a follow-up with my ob-gyn, but as soon as I do (a couple of days from now), I will repost my personal results and will be able to better rate this drug. As for my partner, who also took Tindamax, he said he felt extremely itchy all over his body and very nauseous and complained of a chemical odor whenever he would urinate. He has yet to go get a follow-up with his doctor as well."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "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."

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!!"
