| Dosage & duration: | | 2 tablets taken three times a day for the period of one week |
| Other conditions: | | I had a throat flu which caused the infection. |
| Other drugs taken: | | contraceptive pill. | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | the treatment cleared up the infection, mostly. It cleared up the infection but I still felt that it was there for a while. It did get rid of the pain in my ears from the infection really quickly, and the 'blocked up' feeling I had in my ear. |
| Side effects: | | There were no side effects. |
| Comments: | | The infection was mostly cleared up. For a few weeks I felt as though I still had a bit of an infection or it was coming back. But after a while that went away. |

Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | H-pylori |
| Dosage & duration: | | 500 mg taken one every 8 hours for the period of 3 weeks |
| Other conditions: | | none |
| Other drugs taken: | | Metronidazol 250 mgs. 3 times daily simultaneously | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | I took these medications while having severe symptoms of h-pylori which had been going on already for about 10 days(severe stomach pain). After about 3 days on the medication my syptoms were much improved and soon disappeared. Before taking this medication I would have bouts of this pain every few months during stressful times and it would take weeks to go away. Since taking this medication during that three week period two years ago I have had no more syptoms of h-pylori despite several stressful time periods. |
| Side effects: | | I don't remember any. (except sensitivity to sun with flagyl) |
| Comments: | | I took these two medications along with flagyl for three weeks, 3 times a day (this is my memory of it). Fantastic! |
