How are you doing? Thank you so much for your very helpful post! The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, stomach pain and diarrhea. However, it is always important to remember that not everyone experiences such side effects, some people do and some don't. It's always best to speak to your doctor about any concerns you have about them, though. Or pop onto a site like thi...

Hi, I had a yeast and bacterial infection and was told by my doctor to take flagyl comp for 10 days. I don't know if it will affect my period because it has never been missed before. My period came two days after it was delayed, but with much pain and it didn't flow well either. I don't know if I might be pregnant? ## Antibiotics can cause you to experience a longer cycle, in other words a delay to the start of your period, according to NIH reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Are you on any other medications? Did you try a pregnancy test? ## My menstrual cycle is on the 2nd of May but I am having pains without any flow. Can Flagyl help my period flow regularly?

Hi! Last dec i had a bacterial vaginosis, my ob gyne checked my records and found out that the medications i took is not for BV. So she decided to let me take falgyl now in my fourth month of pregnancy (my second trimister). Now that i am taking it i often feel a lower left abdominal pain. Is it because of the medicine i took? or it is just a round ligament pain? Thank you

Make sure you don't have trichomonias. That cannot be cured with creams or antibiotics. The drug of choice is usually flagyl. This infection causes pain with intercourse, green, awful smelling discharge and is caused by protozoan not bacteria. Have a pap at once, I advise. Good luck.

I suffer from an intestinal parasite (Endolimax nana), and I was prescribed metronidazole (Flagyl) at a daily dose of 1000 mg per day for a week. Every drug has its side effects, but I was particularly worried about the possibility of developing peripheral neuropathy since my father had suffered from that condition for many years. In spite of assurances from my physician, my feet went numb, with some additional numbness in my hands and wrists, not to mention the fact that the drug was ineffective against the parasite. I’m writing now in the hope that this will reach those of you have experienced similar side effects: I want to report that the neuropathy is in fact reversible and that you WILL eventually regain feeling in your extremities. ## Most side effects are transient, accord...

I went to the ER and was treated for an allericic reaction to flagyl. I had a rash, shortness of breath, severe heartburn and stomach cramps. How long do these symptoms last after being treated in a local ER? ## What type of treatment did the ER provide? It can take a week or two, for all of the symptoms to clear up, depending on how much you had taken, how long you took it and etc., according to the NIH. Such reactions usually get worse, with repeated exposure, though, so it would likely be best to avoid taking this medication in the future.

I'm suffering from Chronic Amibiaze with my intestinal system and was prescribed Flagyl as antibiotic. Unfortunately, I developed skin reaction and after consulting an allergologue it's now confirmed that I'm allergic go flagyl. In such case, what your recommendation of treatment instead of flagyl. My gastro have prescribed Intetrix but the problem of Amibiaze still the same and I'm still having issues to have normal pooh.

I took 12 flagyl tablets and I didn't know that I was pregnant but I was suspecting it because my breasts were itching. I took the first test and it was negative and I took the second one and it was positive. The reason why I took flagyl is because my uterus was very sore, so I was wondering if it would hurt my unborn child? ## Hello, Sliroro! How are you? Congratulations on the pregnancy! The U.S. FDA lists this antibiotic as being safe for use in pregnant women. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can flagyl be used for an upper respiratory infection? ## Hello, Jannette! How are you? Was it prescribed by your doctor to treat it? This generally isn't the preferred medication for such infections, because most of them are viral and self-limiting. However, in some cases, they may be bacterial and could require an antibiotic and/or a steroid, which may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, nervousness and diarrhea, as reported by the FDA.

Can it be a transmitted disease? ## Hello, Candy! How are you? I'm sorry, your posts aren't very clear, but I did provide you some information in the other one that I just answered. It depends on what type of vaginal bacteria is being treated. Yeast infections are not usually transmitted and neither are all cases of bacterial vaginosis. If your taking Flagyl, that is an antibiotic that's used to treat bacterial infections and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and diarrhea. What did your doctor diagnose you as having?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

It will shake so I don't know what is going on. Please help - l went to the doctor for help she gave me pills only. ## Hi Edith - congratulations on giving birth. Can you tell me what pills your doctor gave you? (Like what are the ingredients in it)? And what did they say about your symptoms?

Hi, I used canex v this morning - half on the plastic tube thing because I had white cottage looking discharge. I did a pregnancy test before and it was negative. The discharge may be caused by the flagyl i was given after my uti. My question is, is redish brownish spotting normal? My bf and I are trying for a baby and I didn't want nothing messing with my abdomen. It also makes me feel weird on my abdomen. I stopped n want to see what happens tomorrow, but is it normal for such discharge to come out? Thanks ## Hello, Lerato! How are you? Yes, that can be a normal side effect of these antifungal creams, due to the fact that they can cause some cervical irritation. It's usually nothing to worry about, but if it becomes heavy bleeding, then seek medical attention. Other side effec...

I have diverticulitis. I am taking amox clav 875 2x a day. It makes me sweat at night and I don't normally sweat. I smell just like the pills. Its horrible. How long will this last? ## Hello, Tj! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having, I understand why that would be annoying. This medication is classified by the FDA as an antibiotic and the side effects will usually linger for about a week, after you finish your course of treatment with it. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, headache and diarrhea. How long will you be taking it? The good news on the smell is that it is way more noticeable to you than to other people, so no one else will likely notice. ## I used amox/clav 875 tb for divitulis and I had no side effect...

After 6 Flagyl tablets of 500mg the Dentist said the medication was no longer necessary and two days later having consumed some wine (when you should stay away from it for 3 days) an acute back pain developed and continued each day by getting worse. It spread to my left thigh, speculating sciatica. Fortunately, my wife prescribed a homeopathic remedy of Arnica and Hypericum; Thereafter, the Homeopath prescribed Rhus Tox. With Rhus Tox 30C the leg pain disappeared within the day while the back pain continued to lessen each day alternating between Rhus Tox and Hypericum combined with Arnica and it took about two weeks for complete relief which was sought through homeopathy. The effects of Flagy is diabolical. Don't ever take it; it causes more problems than it cures.

I have a vaginal infection and my doctor prescribed: Fexime, doxycyline, dalacin and flagyl/flasyl. What is that combination exactly for? ## My wife has had a vaginal infection for over 5 years now and it has affected her menstrual cycle. She doesn't see her monthly period anymore unless she takes drugs (Primolot N, Ciprofloxacin and Flagyl) prescribed by her doctor, but it's still persists if she doesn't takes her drugs, and this is affecting her ability to conceive. Please advise on what to do? I'm fed up. Thanks. ## Hello, Shaz! The FDA lists the Fexime, Doxycycline and Dalacin as being antibiotics, so they have been prescribed to clear up the infection. Their typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. T...
