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...

I was diagnosed of having BV and my OB prescribed Flagyl to take for 7 days. I had my period last July 13-18 and started the medicine at 07/21/17 until 07/28/17. I supposed to have my period again by 08/12/17 but until now my period is not showing up. I got a heavy discharge for few days and now I am suffering for lower abdominal cramps. Is this a side effect of Flagyl or am I pregnant? please advise. ## Most antibiotics can cause your cycle to be longer than normal, according to FDA reports, but the only way to be certain is by having yourself checked for pregnancy.

antibiotic? prescribed for bacterial infection ## Yes, Flagyl is an antibiotic prescribed for this reason. ## I took flagyl for 4 days after a bad reaction (stomach pain, mucus in bowel movements) to Ceftin. I was supposed to take the flagyl for 7 days but couldn't tolerate the nausea, etc. It has been a week since I stopped the Flagyl and my symptoms from the Ceftin are returning. Is there anything over the counter I can take to remedy this? I don't want to take the flagyl again if I can help it. ## I took Flagyl on Sunday and on that same day I had unprotected intercourse... Does Flagyl affect one's ability to conceive? Please help. I am worried. ## They are both the same thing, Metronidazole is just the active ingredient in Flagyl.

I was taking metronidazole for a week, 3 pills a day 500 mg I believe for an infection or whatever it was in my stomach. I was in the ER and had a catscan with that barium liquid. They saw I had a hiatal hernia and swollen lymph nodes in my stomach. I've been off the metronidazole for about 2 days now and I still feel weird, mainly coughing, white stuff on tongue and spider like veins in my mouth. I also had diarrhea today which was why I started it in first place. So I'm very worried that maybe whatever I was treating came back or is it still side effects of the medication? I recently turned 18 so this is really scaring and upsetting me. I was never this sick before. ## Hello, Chris! How are you? I'm sorry about what you've been experiencing and that you're so scare...
