Eww, flagyl. Watch out for side effects on that one, its a very tough med to handle. It's in my medical files that I cannot take it due to how sensitive to it I am. One good thing about taking it with another antibiotic, though, is that it will kill off the bad bacteria in your digestive tract and prevent some nasty overgrowth that potentially make you very very sick.Originally Posted by jennyranson
But the next day at the doctor's I was given a cocktail of antibiotics - Flagyl and Pyosticin to take for 6 days.
Note to anyone on strong antibiotics. If any time in the next few months after taking those antibiotics you get "stomach flu" with terrible diarrhea and a fever, go to your doctor and make sure they take a stool sample. It could save your life or at the very least prevent serious damage to your colon.
