Have heard it can be Quite effective... for Some people. Bicillun-LA is a long-lasting cell wall drug & Flagl works to hit the cyst form.
A sensible combination, thogh I haven't used it myself.
If you've been on amoxy in the past & shown improvement from That, I'd be very interested in hearing how you do as I've condsidered it myself & could ask my ND for a "go" with it.

I did take amoxy for a while with some improvment but Bicillin has been more effective. I am so tired of treatments period. I am hesitant to take another oral since the last few orals I was on did me in. I had abdominal pain from them.

I guess I shall see.

My llmd also said that flagyl treats babs????
I hadn't heard this before.

I am supposed to add either tindemax (sp?) or flagyl to my bicillin-LA injections with rifampin and probenecid.

I thought I remembered reading the flagyl can be really hard on you...any worse/better than tindemax? And in combo with bicillin?
