I bought this for my wife's rosacea. She was on two prescriptions and they were not working - made her face even more red. I read the reviews of Dermalmd, ran it by her and purchased. Needless to say, she loves it. Her face is no longer red and looks great. She's been very happy with it. Highly recommend! ## Dermalmd serum works for rosacea. If anyone has sleepless nights because of rosacea and related issues, Dermalmd serum is a worth trying. It worked for me!

My prescription says 2 tabs every 8 hours, but I'm wondering if I could take 3 every 12 hours? ## You should follow the prescribing instructions. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Are you on any other medications? How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

I am 5 days late on period. Took a pregnancy test yesterday came up negative. I was on metro pill 500mg twice day for a week. Was suppose to get my period about 4/5 aftwr taking last of medicine. I had to take a diflucan too cause the meds give me a yeast infection. Could the metro pills possibly be making me late? Did i take a preg test too early? It was an EPT test. Please help!!!! ## Yes, the FDA does warn that most antibiotics, of any type, can cause you to experience a longer cycle, so you might not experience your period, at your usual time. They can also, sometimes, interfere with oral contraceptives, and reduce their efficacy, so there might be a risk of pregnancy, if you've been engaging in intercourse. Has there been any change? Did you experience a period, yet? Are you on...

My period is due on the 28th. I had sex 3 days before that which was on the 25th... On the 26th I began my course of metronidazole - It was 2 per day for a week and I'm still taking them... Could this be the reason I'm late or could I be pregnant? I also been having this numbing tingling sensation on the sides.

Well I had my period on the 10th of the month and I've been taking this medicine. The doctor says I'm suppose to take it for 7 days. My last day is tomorrow. I started spotting a little and it was light pink. What does that mean? ## Most antibiotics can disrupt your menstrual cycle, especially if you use any type of hormonal contraceptive, thus spotting can be normal, according to the FDA, other side effects may include dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

I was due to have my period on the 18th of this month and it's been 10 days and still no period, took a pregnancy test and it came back negative, i was prescribed metronidazole 500mg twice daily on 5/22/17. I'm confused and not sure what's going on ## It the test was negative, then it is doubtful that you are pregnant, but it never hurts to have your doctor do a professional lab test to be sure. It can be normal to just have irregular cycles, sometimes. Unfortunately, it is just part of being a woman. How old are you? Are you on any other medications? The FDA does list many of them as possibly causing issues with menstruation, such as longer cycles.

I am about to go for a pre-employment drug screen and I currently take Metronidazole 500 MG. I currently have a job, a decent job. Just trying to get a second, as I am an expectant mother and need all the money I can get. Can Metronidazole 500MG have a false positive for anything? I don't want to fail this test and be fired from the position they offered, or to loose my current job, or to have CPS come into my life over a mistake. Can anyone help? Thanks in advanced. ## Can metronidazole cause a false positive pre employment drug test?

Hi, I had a yeast and bacterial infection and was told by my doctor to take flagyl comp for 10 days. I don't know if it will affect my period because it has never been missed before.

I have moderate acne vulgaris. My dermatologist recommended me to use cindamicin phosphate at 7.00 am, metronidazole gel USP at 3:00pm and the mixture of tretin A and benzoyl peroxide at night. How long will it take to see an improvement? Are those combinations safe to use? It's been almost 2 months and I don't see any big difference. Pimples are somewhat gone, but there are many scars left on my face and it's very depressing. What kind of gel/cream should I use to get rid of those scars? ## These medications may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. However, they will not do anything to help the scars that you already have. Have you tried asking your dermatologist what you can use that may help minimize the...
