What Causes Nausea And Vomiting While On Metronidazole?
I am taking Metronidazole 500mg twice a day for BV, I'm on my third-fourth day of taking it. I felt slightly nauseated yesterday but that has been it from it. However, my last dose dissolved as I was swallowing it which was a few hours earlier and now I'm feeling very sick to my stomach and like throwing up. Are the two connected?
