1 | Parasite, cryptosporidium | I contracted a parasite through the tap water system. This medication is expensive. My copay was $320 for two rounds of this and I got the generic. It did not kill the parasite. It also gave me worse diarrhea. | F | 54 | 3 days 500 2X day | 10/10/2022 | 5 | C-diff | none | My GI doctor gave me Alinia after recurrence of C-diff following a round of Vanco. I more or less refused to take Flagyl, because of the horrible side effects. Doctor says it is "cutting edge" to prescribe Alinia for C-diff. The research is very recent, but it suggests Alinia is just as effective as Flagyl or Vanco. My diarrhea stopped in two days, and I feel fine. | F | 68 | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 12/5/2010 |
