I have always had a problem taking any medication because of stomach problems, so before I started taking Metronidazole 500mg twice a day for 7 days I was horrified after reading the negative effect it had on so many. I think I let my nerves get the best of me in the beginning but I found that it wasn't as bad as I thought. I found that eating a small meal before I took it and taking it with a gla ...
