I took 4 500mg tablets as a single dose. Taste of pills is awful. Noticed reduction of diarrhea as soon as the next morning. I did get an unusual side effect. Woke up in the morning with red palms of hands and soles of feet and red pin dot rash over all of my body.

I took this 2 days ago and I'm still feeling the side effects, it sounds like It stays in your system for a couple days. I could barely sleep the night of taking it, and the thought of the meal I ate it with makes me feel sick just thinking about it lol. Been getting random spouts of intense anxiety and nausea ever since taking it, but haven't thrown up. Side effects are intense

I was sick for 18 months when I began taking this medicine. First dose at 7pm. Within 2 hours I began burping a lot and feeling nauseous. Next day: I felt so sick that I had to call into work. I didn’t get off my couch the entire day and night. I actually wandered if I might die. Never have taken any more of these pills. Although this stuff probably works, I couldn’t endure the side effects.

Took 4 tablets at once. 500mg each. Tinidazole. I got metallic taste and diarrhea and stomach pain and back pain. I don't feel so good. ?? it's the side effects and hopefully they will go away soon and get rid of the gardia.

Second time taking this for giardia - first time in Africa, second in Mexico. Both times, worked quickly. First time, no side effects. Second time, awful metallic taste and some mild stomach cramping for a couple of hours. But stopped the diarrhea almost immediately, which was a big relief.

Had the worst experience taking this medication, vomiting, diarrhea, severe body aches, stomach cramps, light headedness that went on for a few days. I ended up going to urgent care because I thought I had a bad reaction to the medication, they wrote it off as a stomach bug but I’m convinced it was this medication as others have had similar reactions. Didn’t finish it because I felt so terrible and went back to my doctor for something else. Would not recommend and would never take again.

The meds definitely worked but the side effects were awful. I had diarrhea the first day and vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headaches, etc. for even about 4 days(length it stayed in system) after finishing my prescription.

Within hours of my first dose I was sick to my stomach and severe diarrhea. I took it after I ate, trying to avoid this. Will be calling tomorrow for something else.

I took this medicine on a full stomach at night. I was fine all night, but have very bad taste in mouth and stomach feels queasy. It helps to know I only have one more day on this medicine.

I had a slight bad taste in my mouth for the two days I needed to take this.. a little loss of appetite but overall that was it. I was sure to take this with a full stomach first thing in the morning, avoided anything acidic and definitely did not drink any alcohol. I think my experience was a good one with this medication.

For Giardia, this medication is a wonderful blessing. USA doctors will prescribe 'Metronidazole' for Giardia, don't take it. Ask for Tinidazole! Within hours of a single dose this medication eradicates Giardia completely. Symptoms ease within 24hrs and back to normal within 48hrs. Only one side effect for the single dose treatment: metallic taste in your mouth for 12-24hrs.

For the past few weeks I've had a cold. My girlfriend suggested I take tinidazole oral tables because they're antibiotics. At the time we were living in China and the medication didn't have any English labeling on the medicine's box. Also, I am a man. For the past few days I've taken tinidazole and have been rather unsatisfied with the results. Today I've been experiencing a metallic/bitter taste in my mouth and wanted to learn if it could be a side effect of the medication I'd been taking. After doing some research (which I should've done before I started taking the mediation) I learned that tinidazole is not used to treat the common cold. Also, that it's not for men. I didn't experience any diarrhea or nausea, but I am slightly embarrassed. Read More Read Less

Since starting this, I've has nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Thought it was a stomach bug, and since I couldn't keep it or any food down, I was off of it for two days. Got back on it this morning to finish my prescribed course and cramps and nausea have come back.
