Metronidazole
bacterial infection
"I have been taking 500 milligrams twice a day for 7 days for BV. I have taken this before but it's been about 15 years. I don't have any problems with side effects. Yes it has a metallic taste but if you are good at taking pills it is not a problem. You need to put a small amount of liquid in your mouth first, throw the pill back then swallow all at once. Can't even taste it that way. The doctor had me paranoid to take this medicine because they said it would make me sick and violently ill if I drink alcohol with it. I did not want to use a cream so this is way easier for me. My past experience is that it will give me a yeast infection but I am prepared this time to treat it. I am thankful I don't have the awful side effects described here."
