Avatar m tn Are there any side effects of flagyl regarding heart.?? Skipped beats have made me worried so now i ask about every medicine side effect before taking it.
Avatar f tn and during the latter part of the month, I was experiencing some pain in my Vagina. It was itchy, sore and most horrible of all.. I had this awful green/yellow discharge. I had to change my underwear lots of times. When I found out that I had trich, I bought Metronidazole and took 2grams (1 dosage) of it. Metronidazole made me feel really sick! Anyway, after a week I realized that I still had trich. Exactly the same symptoms were still there. So, I took Tinidazole.. a 2g dose.
187316 tn?1386356682 I have just gotten off of meds for a horrible uti. I finished the meds yesterday. They are not to be taken during pregnancy. They are macrobid and metronidazole. Just found out I'm pregnant today and I'm super worried.
385161 tn?1270081218 t know what to do and I am sort of freaking out. I need some advice...anyone take flagyl or metronidazole vaginal inserts for BV? is this doctor correct? Should I demand more cultures or just take the meds? What happens if I don't treat BV, i've heard it can cause preterm labor, and raises risk of miscarriage, but is it safe to treat now???? HELP> > > ps. is it time for a new doctor?
1049259 tn?1295088478 Serious side effects of metronidazole are rare. Serious side effects include seizures and damage of nerves resulting in numbness and tingling of extremities . If the tingling in your hands persists, you must inform your doctor about this. Metronidazole should be discontinued. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn hello.
Avatar n tn The doctor gave me Metronidazole pills to take to treat Trich and should told me i couldnt have any alcohol 3 days before and after takin the pills including the alcohol in mouthwash bc it was cause a bad stomach ache. i was also wondering if this included my toothpaste which has mouthwash beads? Or is regular toothpaste better or not good either?
Avatar f tn I'm taking antibiotics, including Metronidazole 500mg for h.pylori. I was at my sister's wedding last night and took 2 glasses of bubbly to toast with the guests, and then switched to water all night (being under the impression that antibiotics just worsen the impact of the alcohol so this is why you shouldn't drink). About 6-7 hours later I started feeling really unwell (nausea, frequent washroom trips, flushed skin)..
1054108 tn?1314298660 I wasn't treated for the same thing as you, but still wanted to add this thought...when I was pregnant I was very concerned about taking anything. I have similar concerns now while breastfeeding. I have personally found the pharmascist to be the best source of information in terms of what is safe and what isn't. I always check with him/her. It is their job to know any and all possible side effects or problems for a pregnant/nursing mom.
Avatar f tn I’ve been on my second day of Metronidazole and I drank a little bit of wine today. The concentration is 10 percent and I had it mixed with juice, should that be enough to cause any side effects?
7757724 tn?1396279586 I had bv and was prescribed metronidazole for it which cleared it up for a week n now I think it's back again! Grrr!
1049259 tn?1295088478 Side effects can be all kinds of things and those which you have said above. If you get sick then you get sick, the medication should have already been absorbed. You will not overdose and symptoms start to clear in 1 day to possibly 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn Hi ladies ! I was given this drug to help with BV. I'm currently 23 weeks as of today, and this is my first baby. Have any of you taken it before and had any issues? I know my doctor wouldnt give me anything harmful to the baby, but it still just scares me. Any tips would help! Thank you & i hope you guys are doing great!!
Avatar f tn Yes, it tastes TERRIBLE. I just finished a week on it. Same here, bacterial vaginosis. I had it 3 times with my second pregnancy. It was miserable. Hoping I don't have to take that stuff ever again!
Avatar f tn I started taking metronidazole yesterday I took 2 pills that day... today I realized I haven't had my period this month. So I decide to take a pregnancytest before I start my second day on metronidazole. I took the test a 3pm and both test were positive. so I stopped the pills.I was wondering if the medication made my test positive or am I really pregnant.take another prego test? & when?
20922415 tn?1661860103 Furthermore, low progesterone levels increase the risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy. Experts, therefore, recommend that in these cases progesterone should be given to support the pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Taking it orally is much stronger, but has a lot of side effects, and this way it goes directly where your problem is. Make sure you use it as long as recommended, and don't be surprised if it comes back, as this treatment often doesn't get all the eggs. Good luck with it.
Avatar f tn I am 34 weeks pregnant and am very concerned about all these antibiotics (about 4) i took during my pregnancy, 3 were zithromycin z pack and one was metronidazole for bacterial vaginosis in my third trimester. For all these antibiotics, i received strong reassurance that they are safe to take to treat my common occuring respiratory infections. I am concerned. Is there anyone here who took many antbx during pregnancy and had a healthy child? AMEN...
5709929 tn?1372822098 Is it safe to take at the stage in pregnancy?? And has anyone even heard of it being used for a UTI because I have had 3 now and have never been prescribed this medication.
Avatar n tn It is a well know fact in veterinary pharmacology that high doses of metronidazole can cause neurological symptoms. The neurological symptoms are usually dose specific and once the medication is discontinued your dog should return to normal unless there is concurrent neurolgical disease.
Avatar m tn What are some of the more common side effects of metronidazole for dogs?
3210905 tn?1345679491 Hello, Gastritis, fluctuation in estrogen levels, heartburn, postnasal drip, dental caries, tooth abscess are few other causes of metallic taste in mouth. Intake of medications like metronidazole, blood pressure medications, and thyroid medications all can lead to this symptom apart from the causes mentioned by you. The associated symptoms may help in arriving at a diagnosis. Seek medical help. Take care and regards!
Avatar f tn Anyone ever been prescribed metronidazole for a bacterial infection of the vjay?im 14-15 weeks pregnant and was just wondering..I've taken my azitheomycin for the second time and hope it clears up whatever seems to be going on but the first time I took my single dose they told me it killed the good and the bad bacteria but that I got a bacterial infection so the prescribed me metronidazole,called back and gave me another single dose of azitheomycin..
511455 tn?1224183831 I suspect I had it for a while before I got treated for it (first time I was on antibiotics - Metronidazole - was the end of March of this year). After being on it for 1 week, the symptoms of it stopped so I assumed I was fine and it was gone. However I did still have it/got it again and was then treated for it with the same medicine in April...probably a 3 or 4 week gap between being on it. Again, after I finished treatment I thought I was fine.
