my baby was diagnosed of having amoebiasis a week ago and started metronidazole..sometimes, i forget to give him medicine on the right time or even forget a dose a day. he still has the same frequency of stool everyday.. and i think its not changing a bit after drinking metronidazole. is it because i am not giving him the right dose on time or not giving enough dose? my baby doesnt show any signs of dehydration. he drinks milk every 2 hours.. please help.

I have c-diff at the moment, my symptoms don t seem to be getting better since starting an antibiotic on Wednesday of Metronidazole 500 mg 1 tab tid. I have an appt with a gastro dr next Friday morming, my stomach looks like I am 6 months pregnant. When I saw my pcp on Wednesday he said keep well hydrated and get plenty of rest. Anything I try to eat or drink comes out real quick, I can not sleep because I am so uncomfortable. I was given Tylenol 3 with codeine fot the pain which does not help at all. I have medical problems, ms, fibro, pacemaker, port fitted for DHE treatment 7_to 10 days each month, chronic pain . Should I be left like this to just let the medication to work or should I have seen a difference by now.looking fo free info.

I have epilepsy and take 350mg at night of dilatin and take tetracycline birth control pill.

A walk in clinic doctor said I had bacteria vaginitis and put me in metronidazole 250mg twice a day. I was experiencing tingling in my lower legs and left arm. So the doc advise me to stop taking then. There were 8 pills left out of 28. I'm now getting brownish-red blood for 10 days now ( spotting) I have to change a pad a least twice a day. Is that a side affect to metronidazole or is it a chance I had a miscarriage cause my pregnancy results came back negative. I took two home pregnancy tests and one at the doctors.

I'm worried. And need to know if the results would become positive later?

Or is the bleeding just a side affect from metronidazole?

I am short of breath and having trouble swallowing. I"m taking Metronidazole(4 days) and my Dr. says I have to keep taking it, even though I feel I'm allergic to the medicine. He says it's the disease, not the med. causing the side effects. I have c-dif. What do you think?

What bugs does metronidazole work on that clarithromycin doesn't?

Reason:
I have a cellulitis infection on my shin. It flared up 5 or 6 weeks after falling off my bike and badly bashed 2x9 inches of my shin. There was no broken skin and i had managed to stop a huge hematoma forming by icing almost immediately. As soon as i noticed the heat spot and that my leg tended to swell when walking i went to a walk in clinic at my local cottage hospital and a nurse was confident it was a shin splint and told me to ice it on a rota.

4 days later it became very red in a small area. The very next day i sought help at an nhs hospital walk in GP centre.

Clarithromycin slow release was used 2daily for about a 3days with the infection still spreading slowly. The dose was then upped to 3 daily and non slow release but with a small improvement in efficacy. I have now been prescribed metronidazole as well and the infection is very very slowly going.

I have just taken a dose of mebenolazole (500mg), but note that I shouldn't mix this with the drug metronidazole (because of the dangers of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome). How long will the mebenolazole stay in my system (i.e. how long do I have to wait until it is safe to take the metronidazole)?

While taking Metronidazole for my third bout with C Diff, I experienced bad or changed taste, causing loss of appetite. Dr. changed prescription to Vancomycin and advised "taste" problem would soon be gone. But it did not. It is now about 3 months since stopping Metronidazole and no relief. Had my mouth and teeth checked but it was not the problem. Drs. and Pharmacists tell me my taste "should" return, b ut I have lost weight and am starting to form bad eating habits. Can you help? P.S. The C Diff has apparently passed.

Hi I was prescribed metronidazole about 5months ago, and I noticed after taking it for accouple days I started to get a discharge out of my penis and my urethra seemed to be inflamed. Its been 5 months now and I still get the inflamed urethra feeling that comes and goes in waves. I am no longer getting the discharge though. Any advise???

Hi i took metronidazole twice a day for 7 days for bacterial vaginosis and I noticed I had slurred speech, confusion, and unbalanced walking. How serious is/was this? I just finished the dosage two days ago and this did not occur the first time I completed a 7 day dosage of metronidazole.
