Treatment Info
Condition / reason:   bacterial vaginosis
Dosage & duration:   One pill a day for 8 days taken once a day for the period of Eight days
Other conditions:   None
Other drugs taken:   None
  
Reported Results
Benefits:   My infection cleared up almost before the dosage was done. Has not come back.
Side effects:   Mild upset stomach.
Comments:   I took this once a day for eight days for a vaginal bacterial infection. I only had slight side effects of an upset stomach after taking the pill; probably because I had not eaten much on those days. My infection cleared up noticably before the treatement was through. I feel it was very effective.

Benefits:   not worth the cost of the side effects. Becasue I was so miserable, I discontinued the medication early and opted for a more conventional anti-biotic.
Side effects:   nausea, upset stomach, insomnia, and a general feeling sick. I felt like I was going to throw up if I so much as drank water, I got very tired and week but could not sleep due to constant dry heaving.
Comments:   I was told to take it so I did. the more I took the more miserable I got, until I called my doctor and said, I can not take this. I dont know if I am alergic or what but I cant and I wont take any more of it. it still took almost two days for the side effects to go away.
