Metronidazole (Baterial Vaginosis)
I also took metronidazole in the form of a vaginal gel for a yeast infection. Two days after starting the medication, I also broke out in a severe rash. The rash is still spreading after 12 days, despite treatment with methylprednisolone (7 days)and diphenhydramine. This treatment arrested the rash, but it began spreading again as soon as the treatment stopped.
How do I get rid of the rash?

Clindamycin severe side effects
I took Clindamycin for an oral abcess, I've been off it for 2 weeks but tomorrow I plan to see my doct because I've had severe abdominal cramps and diarreah for 5 days.
Really don't understand why I wasn't warned about this severe side effect on this drug!! This was too strong an antibiotic for an oral abcess!
I think Pseudomembranuos Colitis or Clostridium Difficile is the bacteria it causes. Colitis is managable but not curable.

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
