For Bacterial Vaginosis "Yes-definitely tasted gross, but well worth it for the fast-acting treatment. I sprinkled it over applesauce and was surprised by how much was in such a little packet. It was hard to resist the urge to chew, especially with the applesauce, so I washed it down with water. I ate as fast as I could and probably finished the treatment within 30 seconds. Twenty-four hours later, and the majority of my symptoms have been relieved. I've had BV several times before, and it always presents itself with unbearable itching (my worst symptom), which sometimes is not relieved with other treatments. The itching relieved itself within a few hours and no sign of it the next day. My only complaint is that I had a slight stomach ache yesterday and a metallic taste in my mouth since taking it 24 hours ago. Hoping this relieves itself in a few days, but I would still rather have the mild metallic taste in comparison to the itching. Otherwise, HIGHLY RECOMMEND for fast relief. Who cares about not being able to drink!"

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I took the medicine 9/27/19. Whoever said that this medication doesn't change the taste of food needs to be fired. Well, I guess in a sense it doesn't. But the granules themselves taste horrific. Once I got past the initial urge to chew, swallowing about 6 tablespoons of yogurt, I made it through. I waited patiently for the nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, etc. Fortunately, I haven't experienced any of that as of yet. It's been 24 hours, and I already feel better. I will say that I didn't do what everyone else did and drink alcohol. Regardless of what the packet says, you should know better than to drink alcohol with an antibiotic. That being said, I'd much rather stomach this one-time nasty stuff than to take a pill twice a day for seven days."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "First experience with BV at 43 years old, recently had my gallbladder removed, so wasn't sure if the issues came from that. Dr. prescribed Solosec for me, reading these reviews last night made me scared to try ALMOST. I went today and got the medicine and took it at work. I did eat something and took it with a dairy-free yogurt. No upset stomach, no nausea, slight headache but could be from my hair in a bun. Overall, the taste was terrible but manageable to get down and no aftertaste. I took a few bites of yogurt, then drank water, continued until completely gone. Then had my salad and finished the bottle of water. No issues since 10:45 AM and it is 6 PM now, so far so good but anything is better than the infection. Suggestions: no alcohol as it seems to make the medicine symptoms worse per the reviews and definitely eat something."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Like others, I am desperate to get rid of this BV I have been struggling with now for five years. Yes, that long. UGH. I agree that I thought I would throw it up. I took it last evening and was up a couple of times with an upset stomach. I managed to keep it down. Took some Rolaids, which did help. WHY do they make something so nasty? They could put it in a capsule, the taste is so bad. I am hoping it will work, I guess it stays in your system for four days, we will see. Glad I had a $25 coupon from online. No matter what you take it with, it is like tasting raw aspirin, and the granules get stuck in your teeth. I looked on the instructions, and they have really not had good results...30% of patients have had side effects. We are guinea hens for this research. Let's hope our complaints reach the right ears. Icky stuff."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Do not under any circumstances be convinced by your doctor to take this medicine! Like others, I was gagging the entire time I was attempting to finish my pudding. I was also very lightheaded and nauseous afterward. I had diarrhea for the rest of that day. I emailed the company to ensure that there were no other contraindications I should be aware of. I mean, I felt terrible! It’s been longer than a week, and they never got back to me. Obviously, I called my doctor that day, knowing Solosec reps wouldn’t reply ASAP. They told me to wait it out and call back if severe symptoms persisted. Okay, sure. To my surprise, they never replied at all. I continued having symptoms of upset stomach/nausea the next day. This is a new drug that’s being pushed to patients. I read the fine print stating that they have not ruled out carcinogenic effects. Lol, wow. I always take the reviews of drugs I see online with a grain of salt. This time I didn’t even check the reviews, and I paid for it."
