Ceftin for Bladder Infection: Uses, Side Effects, Warnings, and Dosing Information

Related User Reviews for Side Effects

I was not informed that low sex drive was a potential side effect. I really had no idea these symptoms were due to my birth control. I had to do the research myself, unfortunately after it was already affecting my relationship. I am going off yasmin immediately and just hope it's not too late to reverse the side effects.

I only knew I had BV because I got a pap and my doctor told me my bacterial levels were out of whack and it needed to be treated if I was going to try and get pregnant in the next few months (it did explain some periodic bouts of itching over the last year, but they were never anything tragic - just felt like I about to get a yeast infection that would then go away a day later). I really noticed very few side effects of the Flagyl for the first three or four days I was on it, but around the fifth day I noticed I felt a little out of whack while trying to exercise one night, and had to quit 3/4 of the way through my 50 minute workout. The sixth night I had periodic bouts of dizziness while walking around the mall that I chalked up to waiting to long to eat dinner and not having drank anything in several hours (eating did help, but I was also on my couch by then). On the seventh day I noticed a nasty taste in my mouth that lead me to believe I might be getting sick until my husband pointed out it could be the antibiotics (eating and gum helps, but it always comes back). I took my last dose yesterday morning (the eighth day) which was about 29 hours ago and I still feel loopy and out of it, so I'm hoping once the drug is out of my system (I'm under the impression that will be around the 48 hours after taking the last dose) that I'll start to feel more like myself. I'm thinking Flagyl helped (hard to tell since I had few symptoms of BV to start with), but it's a rough course

Because I am hoping this medication helps my osteoporosis instead of discontinuing using it, I paid close attention to what I did different the times I had the bad reactions. My conclusion: I did not drink enough water and was fairly inactive those two times. These last three months I have made sure I drink at least 16 ounces of water and try to keep physically busy after my hour is up, like cleaning the house or activities where I am using most of my body. I also make sure I eat a good breatfast about 1 1/2 hours after taking the pill. I have had absolutely no side effects the last three doses and the pain in my limbs, for the most part, has gone away. It does not come back as long as I am fairly active. The chest pains have stopped.

Dr tried to reduce and switch and felt worse and had siezure and They feel the side effects out way benefits.

Constipation for a while, but the body seemed to adjust and have no side effects at all.
