Many people on youtube teach band and generic drugs. You take it many steps further. Your lectures on medicinal chemistry of drugs is PERFECT. Continued to do more of it .You have no idea how many lives you've touched. Thanks again.

I’ve taken 6 different antibiotics within a 2 month time period & metronidazole was one of them. I’m currently suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, feeling anxious throughout the day, the jitters, feeling woozy, lightheaded & just ill majority of the time. At one point, I was having trouble breathing. I didn’t really think “it could be the antibiotics” until recently. I’ve been doing my research on antibiotics…and ran across the HORRIBLE side effects of this drug in particular. I thought I was going “crazy.” Nope, antibiotics can do this to you! So scary. I wish I knew then what I know now. Always do your research before taking any kind of medication.

My doctor has prescribed me this drug for appendicitis. I have acute pain and I don't want to go through surgery and lose my appendix. I m consuming Beetroot, apple, cucumber smoothie 3 times a day.

Hello everyone for those who was concern about why they felt like hell while taking metronidazole or any antibiotics simple answer
The antibiotics are fighting the bad bacteria like h pylori therefore causing your body to feel horrible at the same time which is called a Die off affect
But good news there is a simple solution for those who may not know is to take probiotics daily while on these antibiotics because the probiotics have been clinically proven to reduce the horrible side effects while taking antibiotics
