My biaxin has run out and it is not being refilled by the doctor. I was wondering if flagyl is useful on its own or if I'm all out of luck.
I know its a good cyst buster but must it be used in combination with another abx.
Thanks

If flagyl is opening cysts andthere is nothing there to kill the live spirochetes that come out of the cyst I think you might be looking at a reinfection. Please call your doc and ask before doing this.

That's what I was afraid of.
Thank you, Robi

So what is typical for LLMD's to use with Flagyl?
Flagyl is up next for me after my antibiotic holiday.
Posted by robi (Member # 5547) on :
I am on mino and rifampin. I take flagyl 1 week a month.
I think flagyl is usually donr with a macrolide(Zith, Biaxin, Ketek) and/or a tetracycline (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline).
Choice of particular med protocols is best done in consultation with your LLMD. We are all experienced but mainly in our own cases ..... Make sure you have an LLMD to guide you for your specific case.

This kind of scares me considering our LLMD has had my daughter on Flagyl by itself for several
weeks in which she has had some of the most alarming and severe symptoms she's ever had.
Any ideas on why he might do this? I wondered about this situation myself, but thought I
should quit questioning everything. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ask your llmd........ you shuld be able to ask questions.......if not find someone comfortable with giving explanations when you need them. In my opinion you must be able to question the doctor.

My LLMD prescribed Flagyl without another med. My herxing was so severe that I had to take small doses. I did improve on Flagyl only.
