Someone In Nyc (Somewhere In Ny, Ny) on 11/13/2012:
Flagyl saved my life. I had Giardia. After 3 courses of medication, Flagyl combined with Albendazole finally cleared it. I thank God for this medication. Yes, it was awful to take, should not be taken lightly and always under a doctor's supervision, alcohol definitely needs to be avoided while taking, and it does have nasty side effects. For me, the side effects passed and I was able to finally recover from the horrible nightmare of Giardia.
FLAGYL IS FLUORIDE IN PILL FORM! FL IS THE CHEMICAL SYMBOL 4 FLOURIDE. FLAGYL ALSO GOES UNDER ANOTHER NAME STARTS WITH AN M. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE SPELLING BUT WILL POST IT A. S. A. P LOVE ANDREA C X X X
After a trip into Mexico I developed a severe outbreak of measle like red spots on my body. A fecal examination revealed I was infested with 3 different amoebas: Coli, Hystolytica, and Blastocystis Hominis.
Three separate treatments with Flagyl cured the infestation. I do not know if it was one or a combination of the parasites which caused the outbreak but the red spots disappeared after treatment and have never returned.
