4 days into a 10 day regimen I could not tolerate it. Diarrhea, stomach cramps and generally feeling horrible. I refused to take the rest and threw the remaining dosages out... At the time of writing this, I took my last dose 36 hours ago and I'm still not feeling well. I'd like to note that I generally have a high tolerance for medications, but not this one. I had high hopes this medica...

In short. Please stop it Its horrible. I took it for the first day (4 times a day ) and i was ok. But day 2 after the morning dose i went to the emergency. Had terrible stomach pain with the worst nausea ever. Difficulty in breathing. I felt like i was dying with dry mouth & throat and my stomach will explode.. tried to vomit many times but nothing comes out. They gave me some pain killers in ER. Went back home, took the other dosage and again after few hours went back to the Emergency! I was literally dying. They gave me some medicine that needed to be approved by psychiatrists so that they can put me into sleep. I was drugged the whole night till day 3. I have stopped the medicine. I rather have pains in the stomach than taking this !!!!! Consider twice before taking it. Still suffering from even though i have stopped it a week ago, my mouth is bitter ive got some bacterial growth in my tongue as well from this pylera antibiotic. Read More Read Less

I'm on Third day and realise I've been taking it wrong, three times per day three pills then sleeping through the night. I had issues with my vision this morning blurry and coloury, not fun. I think I'll continue to take three pills three times per day and instead of finishing on day ten Ill take the left overs for the rest of the days. Im so sleepy and nauseous I feel hungover,but since I had Hp I felt hungover every day anyway? So it's hard to say , I know I'm not my 100% self it's a sunny Saturday afternoon and I had planned to go out but I genuinely want to go to bed and sleep , I dunno if it's causing me anxiety or of I'm just anxious about having to take it . I don't like it at all and can't wait til it's over, have bad headache too Read More Read Less

The schedule is very difficult to follow with doses at 4 am in the morning. I only used it 3 times a day. First days were good , after that nauseated, muscle aches all over the body. And dizzy. I had to through up one day in the morning. I hope I got negative after I finish the treatment.

It's the worst medicine of all. Do not take it. If u do, you will regret it. It's been 6 months now since i finished my treatment and i still have a horrible reflux and fungus in my intestine because of the exaggerated dose of antibiotics. I wish i could go back in time and not take it.

Honestly it was hell, I just finished my 10 day therapy and I’m so glad. I had the feeling of my tongue being swollen and the glands under my tongue aswell it felt like I was having an allergic reaction which caused me to have really bad anxiety .Hope it works because i never want to take this medication again.

I came to this site to see what to expect when I started taking this medication. The reviews prepared me for a hard time, and I am thankful for some of the good advice I read about how to minimize the side effects - which I had starting around day 3 of the treatment. Stomach cramps, diarrhea, dizziness, chills, light-headed, nausea, furry tongue - I had them all. But I stayed on track and drank lots of water, took the omezeprazole with my 10a and10p doses, and finished the treatment. It is not easy, but it was worth it to me. And yes, if you weren't already losing weight due to your condition, you will lose a few more pounds while you are on this medication due to just not wanting to eat anything. But take the medication unless your doctor tells you not to!Read More Read Less

I am on day 4 of Ulcer treatment with Pylera. Choking down 12 quite large pills per day is pretty annoying, so ease of use is poor. I have had significantly less abdominal pain in the past 2 days than the prior month, so I do believe it is working. As far as side effects, I've had dark urine and stool, and have just started having mild diarrhea and some light dizziness. I do feel generally unwell, but that's nothing new for me recently. Nothing over the top like some others have experienced as of yet.Read More Read Less

I was fine until day 3 when I started having loose black stools, gradually becomes green to the ninth day. I think it is the color of the bacteria. On day 7, I woke up with a pounding headache, bloating and palpitations . I rushed to the ER. Later the doctor’s office called informing to continue on these combo meds for an additional 4 days. Lord help me go through it. I hope this will prove successful as it is my second line treatment.

I promised I would come back to report if the medication was effective. Although the stool AG test made 7 weeks after completion of therapy with pylera came back positive; I am HP negative now (4 months later); had an endoscopy and another AG tool test to confirm. Still experience mild bloating and discomfort if I eat a tad too much.

This is my 6 day on Pylera , the first therapy failed due to me forgetting to take a pill some days . The first 3 days were not as bad except I have to be up very early and up late to be able to space them out 6 hours, mild headache and tired. 4th day woke up very tired couldn’t get up forced myself, 5 th day was actually fine except tired and dark stools dark urine,6th day I am nauseous and very tired had to take day off work but I am powering through this 4 more days and hopefully h pylori free. I do recommend eat drink lots of water try to nap if you can.Read More Read Less

This has been one of the worst experiences of my life. From day two on this medication I’ve had an extensive list of symptoms including: Chills Shaking Vomiting Exhaustion Stomach pain Nausea Dizziness I’m currently on day 8 out of 10 and I can’t wait for this to be over. My first round of antibiotic was ineffective against the bacteria so they put me on this one because it’s “stronger”. I wasn’t warned about any of the side effects. I do recommend that you drink a ton of water on this and eat meals that don’t contain much grease or fat because that will definitely upset your stomach. I’m hoping all of this is worth it in the end…Read More Read Less

Got prescribed 10 days of pylera( 3 pills 4x a day and omeprazole twice a day. This was a rough treatment so many pills and makes you feel like crap. First two days were fair, nausea ended up getting zofran from the doctor which I would take 30 minutes before taking the meds highly recommend asking for it. Things I recommend: drink lots of water and take a probiotic now is not the time to diet you need to eat or you will be humbled. Some symptoms experienced were nausea, feeling like I was going to pass out, confusion, lightheadedness, tapping noise in the ear, loss of appetite ( force yourself to eat or you’ll be miserable), tired, had to take some days off around day 6&7. 3 days post treatment I’m starting to have more energy still have black stool and feel the need to empty my bowels, have an urgency to pee when I need to pee, yeast infection and oral thrush from meds. Again, please take a probiotic and power through that treatment it sucks but you can do it.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed to take it for 30 days, 3 pills morning and evening, by 9th day my tooth started becoming sensitive and I started getting a stinging pain in my stomach which made me fear if this is causing me ulcers, then I stopped it immediately and need to talk to doctor during my next appointment l.

This med has made hpylori a thing of the past! I have been having issues for almost a year. I started feeling better pretty quick. I did not get the side effects like others have mentioned. Some black stools. I was sick prior to taking this med and this med made me better. It is time consuming and tricky on schedule. Once I figured out a schedule, piece of cake. I would take this med again!
