My period was due on 02/13/2016. I started taking metronidazole 500 mg tablets (2 per day for 5 days) and my period did not come. Is something wrong with me? ## Hello, Jane! How are you? Actually, it's very common for antibiotics to cause a longer cycle in some women that take them, so you may not start for a few more days, or until after you finish your course of treatment. If you don't start, at all, within a few days of finishing them, then you should consult your doctor. The FDA lists the other possible effects of antibiotics as typically including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Oh and yes, I have personal experience with this, I usually start around day 27 of my cycle, but that last time I took antibiotics, I didn't start until day 32....

I started taking Metronidazole tablets today (Nov. 4th), which the doctor prescribed to take 3 times a day for 5 days. My period is due on Nov. 9th. On the first day I started taking the tablets my period came and it is early. Is this normal or should I be worried? ## Hello, Joy! How are you? Are you using any type of hormonal contraceptive? If so, that may explain it, according to the NIH, many antibiotics are known to alter the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives. Other side effects, according to the U.S. FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. ## Can metronidazole 200mg help me to regain my period after I stopped using contraceptive? ## I started the medication 3 days ago and started bleeding yesterday. I'm not in anything no birth control or anyt...

Lately, I have been experiencing pain every time I am on my period and I have taken several drugs like felvin, valgin & painkillers, but it won't stop. I even experience vomiting and frequent bowel movements. I was told to take metronidazole, will it stop if I use it?

My Dr prescribed Adco-Metronida 400mg for me to take 1x3 and I just took my last dosage for the day. I then had a cup of coffee and I started vomiting. Does this mean that I can't consume coffee until the treatment is finished? ## Have you been taking them with food or on an empty stomach? I'm thinking that it's most likely just a side effect of the medication and not directly related to the coffee consumption. Although the coffee may contribute, since it tends to make your stomach more acidic and be irritating. Learn more Metronidazole details here. And how far apart are you spacing the doses? ## Hi. I would like to know if I can use adco metronida 400mg for an upper respiratory infection, im not too sure if it is the problem? I am asthmatic as well... my chest hurts from a...

Hi. So in efforts to get pregnant my husband and i have increased sexual activity. I started noticing irritation when I urinated and thought it was a uti. Yesterday when the irritation increased after urinating into more of a bv situation, I took some Metronidazole pills I had already. Problem is I only had 3 tabs, so I took those every 8 hours. Can I switch to Amoxicilllin-Potassium Clavulanate instead in another 8 hours? ## The best thing to do would be to see your doctor, to confirm the presence of an infection, and let them prescribe an appropriate medication, if one is present. However yes, you can smoothly transition from one to the other. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anythi...

I currently am taking Metronidazole and have a cavity and can't get to the dentist till next week. I have taken Tylenol but it still hurts. This medication says to not take any barbiturates. If I take a pain pill for my teeth what will the outcome be for my infection that I am trying to cure. ## Hello, Nicole! How are you doing? Has there been any change? As to your question, it really depends on what other pain medication you want to take. I'm sorry, but no one can provide you with accurate information without knowing more specific details. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The FDA lists the typical side effects of Metronidazole as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, and stomach pain.

I need to know if metronidazole will cause a false postive on a drug test hair and urine. Please advise me as soon as you can. ## Hi aaron, I wasn't able to locate any specific details on this, but from what I could gather, 'askdocweb' mentions that, "Metronidazole can cause interference on EMIT assays that invalidates results." I've been trying to figure out what exactly this means, but you can see where I referenced it from here: askdocweb.com/falsepositives.html NOTE: Just scroll down to 'Metronidazole', as the drug list is in alphabetical order. Other than this, I haven't heard or read any statements involving this medication and false positives. I hope this helps! ## Yes it will...today I falsely tested positive for PCP ## Yes it will show up as ...

My wife was suffering from gum problems. Dr gave her Metrogyl gel to apply to her gums. Now Metrogyl contains Ornidazole. After application for a day she complained of stomach pain. Can application of Ornidazole inside the mouth cause stomach pains? ## Metrogyl actually contains the active ingredient Metronidazole, it's similar to, but not the same as Ornidazole. And yes, it could cause stomach pain and nausea, because even applied topically to her gums, she is still going to swallow a slight amount of it. Has she consulted her dentist? She may need to switch to something else. ## Thanks. Consulted another dentist, he has changed the medicines. Stopped Metrogyl Ointment. Thanks all the same. ## What is the proper way to apply Ornidazole gel? How many times can I use it in a day?
