Re: Flagyl info, for gas **Judie**

[Guest guest]

Judie, yes as " maintenance " I am to take 1/day the rest of my life in

order to keep the gasmonster away. I only paid the copay at the

pharmacy ($10). I will get Dr to call me in a 90-day

prescription when I finish this prescrip, as I can get 90 days by

mailorder through my insurance for only one copay. I would gladly

pay the full price for what this medicine has done for me this week,

though, it has been such a relief - no gas AT ALL! Also, no

diahrea/cramping!

The druggiest told me it was an antibacterial drug, not an

antibiotic. I was not told to use yogart but I did buy some

Acidiphilis which I will start soon. Regarding your " does it kill

smell " question, if there is no gas there is no smell, lol!! It has

completely stopped the gas!

Hmmn.. I always considered it to be an antibiotic.. but sure enough,

the drug guide states that it is an " anti-infective (miscellaneous) "

Therapeutic action of Flagyl:

Disrupts DNA and protein synthesis in susceptible organisms.

Bacteriocidal, trichomonacidal, or amebicidal action. Most noted for

activity against anaerobic bacteria, including bacteroides &

clostridium. Also active against trichomonas vaginalis, entameba

histolytica, giardia lamblia, helicobacter pylori, and clostridium

difficile.

Give with food or milk to help prevent nausea.

Hmmn.. good stuff, this. Hope it helps!

Hugs,

Liane

I buy Pro Biotic acidolphilus from GNC. It works for me and you don't

have to refrigerate it.

Judie,

I also dont seem to produce the horrible smell. I did have a bad

bout after some chicken wings, but that was all. It did make me

worry about gasing out my family, so here's what I do: I put about a

teaspoon of deodorizing household cleaner in the toilet water after

every flush. Also, ask him to flush often when he's going, and light

a candle. Hope it helps.. Meli

Im a little miffed right now! Called our pcp asking for prescription for

Flagyl and he flatly turned us down! (didnt say why) So now I gotta

contact Dr Welker and see if he supports this regime and if so, have him go

over my pcp's head and call in a prescription for DH!!

(Welker trained him yrs ago in medical school and I dont think he likes the

fact that we know a bit much more about these things than he does!)

travels all the way out where Im sitting! That is some STRONG scent!
