I had few side effects and it cleared up my annoying infection quickly. My suggestion for the taste: fill your mouth with a flavored drink, pop the pill toward the back of your throat and swallow quickly. Then take a few drinks. The taste is awful but goes away quickly.

Works almost immediately. I get frequent reoccurring infections and use this every time. Not sure if it's because the medicine isn't strong enough or I'm just super sensitive and prone to this type of infection. I'm taking 2x a day for 14 days followed by 6 months of the gel 2x weekly.

I figured I had to write a review since mostly everything I read about this drug was negative and how drastic the side effects were for most people. I'm actually pissed at myself for "WebMD-ing" this drug because all of those reviews scared the sh*t out of me.

I figured I had to write a review since mostly everything I read about this drug was negative and how drastic the side effects were for most people. I'm actually pissed at myself for "WebMD-ing" this drug because all of those reviews scared the sh*t out of me. I tend to be a hypochondriac about new medications and when I was prescribed this for Bacterial Vaginosis, of course I had to look up reviews on it. Now i understand everyone is different and bodies react differently, but some people saying they crashed their car while on it, had suicidal thoughts, tastes so bad they couldn't possibly stand taking it... After all of that, I stood in my kitchen for 2 hours with the first pill in my hand (500mg 2x a day for 5 days) and literally couldn't get myself to take it. After my sister finally convinced me to just take it, I literally had ZERO side effects at all. I am not taking my last dose on day 5 and wanted to write a review to tell you not to be scares to take this drug. The warnings and cautions literally state "Do Not Drink Alcohol" with this drug and also to not have any foods with Propylene Glycol. Your toothpaste has propylene glycol by the way, your mouth rinse has alcohol in it, some protein bars and ice creams have propylene glycol. Read your food labels while on it and refrain from drinking any alcohol and you will be just fine. Take a deep breath and relax. This vote rid of my BV 100% by Day 3 of being on it. Smell and discharge went away and I'm a happy girl. Here's a positive review for WebMD for once. ;)

Finishing up my second round and hoping it does the trick. Also doing boric acid treatment. Nausea isnâ??t as bad if I donâ??t take with dairy. Headaches can be unrelenting. Diarrhea. Heightened anxiety and depression by Day 5. Can and will cause vaginal yeast infection and this time I also have oral thrush. Brutal med, but nothing else clearing up BV.

This medication works well for me personally. 8 noticed a change after the first full day of medication. The only side effects I encountered were the metal taste in your mouth and dark urine. I didn't even know that the metal taste was a side effect until I looked it up! Jo wonder things have tasted weird to me. Thankfully, I just took my last dose!
