Metronidazole
"Although I dread taking this medicine, I admit it does just what it's supposed to. I am on the 500mg twice a day for 7 days AND metronidazole gel twice a day for 5 days. I researched taking both at the same time (afraid of vomiting and diarrhea) but I've been absolutely fine! The only reason I had a recurring case of BV is because of my LEEP procedure. The best way to take this medicine is with lots of water & a solid meal! I've incorporated probiotics such as Activia yogurt and a Lemon & Ginger tea to avoid all nausea and relief with digestion. I snack throughout the day so I've had no metallic taste. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be, but then again, everyone react to medication differently! Remember, no alcohol-PERIOD!!!"
