I used this medication for a tooth abscess. I used it only for 4 days when I developed SEVERE stomach pain and diarrhea. I stopped it immediately. It has been 3 weeks since stopping it and I still have severe diarrhea.

I was taking this medication for BV, As soon as I started using it, within an hour I started feeling my chest tighten, extreme nausea, and abdominal pain. I don't recommend this and am going to call my doctor and ask them to prescribe something else. VERY DISSAPOINTED

Comment:
Caused the worst diarrhea I have had in 64 years. 15-20 trips per day, plus cramping. I would not take this again unless I were dying of something for which this was the only remedy.
