I was recently prescribed Pylera along with omeprazole to treat an H. pylori infection. I finished the 10-day course and so far, so good - no ulcers! But I'm wondering if anyone has experienced long-term side effects? The list of potential side effects is pretty scary, and I'm hoping some of these are rare. For context, I had some mild stomach discomfort and a dark tongue, but nothing major. Anyone have any insights or similar experiences? Thanks in advance!

Pylera saved my life, but I had a lot of urinary issues after my treatment. Had to get tested and taken on an antibiotic to get it cleaned out to get it out

I had a similar experience with Pylera. The dark tongue and stool were freaky at first, but my doctor assured me it was normal. I didn't have any long-term side effects, but I did have a bit of a headache and some irritability during the treatment. Hang in there!

I had the same, dizziness and some ringing in my ears, but I think it was more of the arrhythmia than the H. pylori. Did you try to get checked for that? It's better to be safe.

I had a weird rash and swelling in my mouth and throat. Turns out I was having an allergic reaction. I had to stop taking it immediately and switch to a different medication. Scary stuff, but better safe than sorry.

Drink lots of yogurt and take probiotics. The antibiotics in Pylera can really mess with your gut flora, and that's how I ended up with a stomach infection.

My sister had to take Pylera a few years ago. She had some weird side effects like confusion and visual disturbances. She had to stop taking it and switch to a different medication.

I had some nerve issues like burning sensations and dizziness. It was awful, but it went away after I stopped the medication. I was really worried, so I called my doctor and he said it was probably due to the metronidazole. Maybe see if yours can suggest anything to mitigate side effects if you start getting nervous.
