I was extremely nervous to take this medication after reading the reviews. I am a very small person with a very sensitive stomach, so I thought for sure I would be vomiting all week. Not so. The metal taste in my mouth is a little irritating, my appetite is decreased, and I feel a little groggier than usual, but it's really not so bad. Just thought I would write a review to ease some people's mind...

Oral versus a vaginal gel: the pill is cheaper, the gel expensive. With the pill I experienced daily headaches, a feeling of being distorted, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, a stiff neck, and a metal taste in my mouth. I never had BV until the year 2011 after being sex-free for 3 years after my divorce. I began menopause in 2011 and that's when the BV began. And it keeps coming back at l...

This medication melted in my mouth almost instantly. I have to take 2 twice a day for 2 weeks. It leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. The taste resembles sucking on a metal spoon all day.

It worked to cure my problem, but the metal taste was almost more than I could bear. I am still tasting metal after being off it more than 2 weeks. I called the pharmacist, who called the mfg. and he told me I get to my Dr. as I could have a fungal infection in my mouth. I will be going next week. Has anyone else had this prolonged side effect???

This medication has worked great for me. If taken with food, you can't go wrong. I experienced no side affects.
