Topic: Flagyl Generic vs Brand Name

Haven't posted in a while - trying to get back on treatment and feeling better.

Reading past posts on the Flagyl issue - I was wondering if more got better results on the Brand Name or the Generic medication.

I've been on the generic [confused]

for the last two weeks and have not had the results I had hoped and have tremendous stomach upset.

I noticed many said they had had best results from this medication.

Thanks guys - thinking about everyone.

If by generic you mean something like metronidazole...that's all I've ever gotten when my llmd or other docs have prescribed flagyl for me.
For me it has worked well with little side effects other than some lethargy.
I think it's important to have a chete killer along with it also like ketek or zithro or penecillin shots.....

hope this answers your question..........zman [Wink]
