Q: why do i get so sick whenever i take metronidazole? doctor gave me 4 pills to take for bv and i feel very sick. diarrhea this morning?

: Metronidazole ("Flagyl") if all "four" are taken at once, can produce nausea, from GI irritation, along with diarrhea a bit later. See your physician again if condition continues.
