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 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.
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)..
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?
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 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 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?
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..
Avatar f tn I had the same fears but with my son 12 years ago my Dr actually made me take the hydrocodone because I kept ending up in the hospital with SEVER pain that kept causing preterm labor. Even while breastfeeding it scared me cause he would go to sleep before even switching breasts to get full. After talking to my Dr and a high risk specialist they both assured me the baby gets less than 20% of all the medication you ingest. They will not give you something that will harm you or the baby!!!
Avatar f tn I was recently diagnosed with trich and was prescribed by a nurse 500 mg 2 times a day for 5 days of metronidazole. I'm really cautious and worried about taking it because i searched and this pill has a lot of bad side effects, like making you really sick. It says that there is an alternative pill called azithromycin with less side effects. I talked to my OB about that and she said that she hasn't prescribed that to anyone who has trich.
Avatar m tn Hi, blastocystis hominis is a microscopic parasite sometimes found in the stools of healthy people as well as in the stools of those who have diarrhea, abdominal pain or other gastrointestinal problems. Infection with blastocystis is called blastocystosis. There are no proven treatments for blastocystosis, and the infection usually clears up on its own. However, if signs and symptoms don't improve, medications can be tried.

Avatar m tn You should start taking a probiotic to counteract the negative effects of the antibiotic. I would wait for the stool sample to come back which might show what is wrong. If it has only been going on for 15 days I doubt it is chron's disease. Make sure you are drinking enough water and keeping your electrolytes up while this is going on. I would also recommend seeing a gastroenterologist not just your primary care physician.
Avatar f tn About a month ago my dermatologist put me on Bactrim for acne. The Bactrim worked great and my face has cleared up amazingly, but, about two weeks ago, I started having symptoms of what I thought was a vaginal yeast infection. I have never had a yeast infection before, but I understand they are common with antibiotics. My primary symptoms were a burning irritation of the vagina and increased frequency of urination. I called my dermatologist and he prescribed 150mg Fluconizole.
Avatar f tn My husband wants to be sucking my breast and I don't know if it has side effects. Should I allow him to suck my breast? or does it has side effects?
187316 tn?1386356682 Macrobid I was told wasn't good in the first trimester. Though I'm not sure how any of them could really be considered "good". Metronidazole pretty much kills all negative cells in your body. It's so harsh that it kills the good and bad bacteria in your whoha. I'm just so concerned that it will have messed something up. I still can't even get over the fact I'm pregnant.
1472764 tn?1287588186 I asked this very same question and it appears that your body is trying to get rid of the bacteria in the vagina which is what I was told. Hope this cured up for your.
Avatar f tn Why didn't you take the Metronidazole, again? In what way did it make you anxious?
