Are Abdominal Pains, Dark Urine And Shivering Side Effects Of Klaricid And Metronidazolefor?
I have been taking klaricid and metronidazolefor 3 days now. I have suffering with abdominal pains, dark urine and shakiness. I also go in and out of being extremely weak where I find it hard to walk as my muscles feel so weak and I have to lie down and sleep. Is this a normal reaction?

Hi,
Klaricid (clarithromycin) and Metronidazole are both antibiotics commonly used to treat bacterial infections. While they are generally safe and effective, they can cause some side effects. Abdominal pain is a common side effect of both medications, while dark urine and shakiness are less common side effects.
However, weakness and extreme fatigue are not typical side effects of these medications and could be a sign of a more serious issue. These symptoms may be related to the underlying infection, but it's also important to rule out any other potential causes.
If you continue to experience these symptoms or they worsen, it's important to contact your healthcare provider right away. They may want to evaluate you further or adjust your medication regimen. Additionally, if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, hives, or swelling of the face or throat, seek medical attention immediately.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
