Hello, My name is Elena and I have a question about Metronidazole: I began treatment for 5 days with amoxicillin (4 per day) and Metronidazole (3 per day) in the first day of the menstrual cycle. It's OK if you get pregnant this month given that the first five days of the menstrual cycle they take Metronidazole? Or should I expect? Thank you ## Hello, Elena! How are you? No, there shouldn't be a problem with a future pregnancy, but taking the antibiotics may throw your cycle off this month.

Generally, I've found that taking an antibiotic adds about 3 to 4 days to my cycle. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for ...

Ive been on sulfameth/trimethoprim for 3 days now 1pill every 12 hours until all gone.since taking the pills I have been urinating a lot 30mins apart im also taking metronidazole500MG both to treat a boil also bacteria infection. Is it normal to urinate this much. .no burning during urination all just clear like water. ## The Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is the most likely culprit, Sulfa by itself was used to treat urinary tract infections, before some many other antibiotics were available on the market, because it can kill bacteria and increase urinary output to help cleanse the kidneys and urinary tract. That said, this also means that it's very easy to get dehydrated while you're taking this medication, so unless its contraindicated for you medically, you may want to in...
