I am currently on day 8 of this 10 day tx and this is my second attempt at getting rid of H. Pylori for good.

Side effects: The first 3 days of tx I was extremely nauseous, had headaches, metallic taste, dark urine. During the next 5 days, including today, the nausea has subsided a little bit but I now have constant (every 15 min) diarrhea, black stools and a UTI. Hopefully, all of this will be worth it.

4 days into a 10 day regimen I could not tolerate it. Diarrhea, stomach cramps and generally feeling horrible. I refused to take the rest and threw the remaining dosages out... At the time of writing this, I took my last dose 36 hours ago and I'm still not feeling well. I'd like to note that I generally have a high tolerance for medications, but not this one.

I am taking Pylera still, so I cannot say with certainty if it work or not yet. I am currently on day six of the ten day treatment. I am glad that I am taking this drug and finally eradicate my ulcers, but I have never been so sick in my life. I'm not sure if I prefer the ulcer or the treatment. I am nauseous all the time! In addition, before meals I get very dizzy and sick to my stomach. I ha ... Show Full Comment

I am glad that I am taking this drug and finally eradicate my ulcers, but I have never been so sick in my life. I'm not sure if I prefer the ulcer or the treatment. I am nauseous all the time! In addition, before meals I get very dizzy and sick to my stomach. I have to force myself to eat something to feel a little better. Also, my hands start to get numb when I don't eat enough. My advice would be to eat four meals a day, stay away from dairy products, and stick it out for the ten days. It's challenging, but it's worth it; I hope!

On Day 8 of the 10 day treatment and have same problems as were reported by other users: some dizziness (I wouldn't chance driving while taking this) severe back pain, dark urine, loose stools and severe nausea with some vomiting. Knowing these side-effects are typical is very helpful. I find peppermint hard candy has been helpful both for the nausea and the metallic taste side effects and gin ... Show Full Comment

On Day 8 of the 10 day treatment and have same problems as were reported by other users: some dizziness (I wouldn't chance driving while taking this) severe back pain, dark urine, loose stools and severe nausea with some vomiting. Knowing these side-effects are typical is very helpful. I find peppermint hard candy has been helpful both for the nausea and the metallic taste side effects and ginger tea and chicken broth help hydration and acidic feeling in stomach. I echo the sentiment that I will be glad when this is over and hope it works.
