I got two medications this morning metronidazole 500 mg 4 tablets and azithromycin 500 mh 2 tablets. I waited til 7pm to take the azithromycin I took both pills. So now I waited a hour before eating so should I take the metronidazole 4 pills all together while eating my food? Am I supposed to take all the pills I got all in one day? Wait and see what happens all 7 days? That’s what the people at the pharmacy told me, take all the pills on the same day. ## Dede, If the pharmacy instructed you to take all the pills on the same day then that is what you should do, but it sounds to me like you are still unsure of what the instructions are. If you are not sure on what you should be taking it is better to contact your pharmacy or doctor than to guess and take too much or too little of t...

My period was due on 02/13/2016. I started taking metronidazole 500 mg tablets (2 per day for 5 days) and my period did not come. Is something wrong with me? ## Hello, Jane! How are you? Actually, it's very common for antibiotics to cause a longer cycle in some women that take them, so you may not start for a few more days, or until after you finish your course of treatment. If you don't start, at all, within a few days of finishing them, then you should consult your doctor. The FDA lists the other possible effects of antibiotics as typically including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Oh and yes, I have personal experience with this, I usually start around day 27 of my cycle, but that last time I took antibiotics, I didn't start until day 32....

I started taking metronidazole 500mg tablets on 9/26 three times daily for 10 days and take progesterone only BC DAILY. I had intercourse on 10/1 and went right home taking my pill. I was to start my period somewhere between Thursday and Saturday (I'm irregular) and have not started yet, should I be worried? ## I didn't find any problems, or interactions listed, it is usually the level of estrogen that some antibiotics can alter that reduces the efficacy of some oral contraceptives, according to the NIH. If you're concerned about pregnancy, there is never any harm in checking, but if you're irregular anyway, there is likely nothing to worry about. Have you started, yet?

I was given four of these to take at once to treat Trichomoniasis. It's the third day and the discharge is a much lighter discharge but still there. Will it eventually go away or do I need more tablets? ## Hello, Susanna! How are you? If you're seeing improvement, then that means it is most likely clearing up and you'll just need to give it a few days, but if you're concerned, please double check with your doctor. However, generally with antibiotics if there's an improvement after 3 days, that means they are working.
