Humatin (paromomycin sulfate) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Humatin (paromomycin sulfate)
Paromomycin gave me very bad diarrhea while taking this medicine and I continue to have loose stools after. While taking this medicine I experienced stomach cramps and in my neck my lymph nodes became swollen. Unfortunately, this treatment with metronidazole did not effective treat my amoebiasis and now my symptoms are worse and I'm left very scared about my condition.
If you're suffering with amoebiasis, I would still recommend trying it to see if it works for you, but for me unfortunately it didn't eradicate Entamoeba Histolytica.
Had high hopes on it, but It didn't work for entamoeba histolytica infection..no effect of using it..
Chronic diarrhea - for 2.5 years since taking Humatin
I took it for an amoebic infection and it caused chronic diarrhea - this despite taking probiotics before, during, and after treatment. In short, the drug made me worse rather than better, and the bad effects WILL NOT GO AWAY
I had absolutely no side effects since I was eating 250ml of yogurt containing live bacterial cultures, 3 times a day in between medication dose. Those who complained about the diarrhea are evidently incognitive of the fact that this antibiotic, just like many others, kills not only the bad microorganism, but also the good ones in your GI tract. Hence, replenishing "good" GI bacteria with yogurt that contains active bacterial cultures seems fairly logical.
This is an extremely powerful antibiotic that completely eradicates entameba histolytica infection.
4 months later I still have liquid diarrhea and problems that started when I began the paromomycin. A disaster. Beware.
I had high hopes that this and flagyl would clear up my problems, but this just added to it.
It caused ongoing liquid diarrhea which is still a problem 10 days after the end of treatment
This was supposed to help my bowel problem, not make it worse.
HUMATIN (PAROMOMYCIN SULFATE): This medication is used to treat a certain parasite infection of the intestines (amebiasis). This medication is known as an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of parasites in the intestines. This medication is poorly absorbed into the blood so it will not work for infections outside of the intestines. Paromomycin may also be used along with a special diet to treat a certain serious brain problem (hepatic encephalopathy). This condition occurs in people with liver disease and is caused by too much of a certain natural substance (ammonia) in the body. Normally the liver gets rid of the ammonia. Paromomycin helps to treat hepatic encephalopathy by stopping the growth of certain bacteria in your intestines that make ammonia. This antibiotic treats only parasitic and bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

I was given Erythromycin as Campylobacter still showed up after a course of penicillin. I was warned that I might experience stomach cramps but I was totally unprepared for all the other symptoms. I had lower stomach cramps (like severe period pains) within a few minutes of taking each tablet. The pains eventually subsided but returned immediately I took my next tablet. The cramps were also associated with diarrhoea and wind far worse than previously. I decided to persevere but within a day or two I began to feel very lethargic and completely lost the little appetite I had. The thought and sight of food made me nauseous. After 3-4 days, I developed a painful rib cage (front and back) and found it very difficult to take a deep breath without extreme discomfort. It felt as though the whole of my upper body had been kicked in and there was a tightness in the upper part of my diaphragm. I felt so ill that I had to return to my bed and just wanted to sleep all the time. The doctor adv
Horrible! Started bleeding second week of the pill. I finished 30 and have switched to another form of birth control and I still have not stopped bleeding. Not light liner bleeding but full first two days of starting your cycle ever bleeding. Wish I would have found this website before I started taking this pill!
Have been taking Sporanox for a few days to eradicate yeast infection. In the meantime, I decided to purchase the Monistat cream to help with the burning & itching. What a mistake!!!!I used Monistat years ago many times without a problem so am wondering what the deal is now. Don't use this product.
It did seem like it was helping my eyes.
During day: Blurred vision, light sensitivity, stiff neck, left eye twitchAt night: Extreme anxiety, unexplainable sense of impending doom, deep and true fear that I would die in my sleep. When husband asked what is wrong-I truly could not explain other than cry and answer "I don't know but something is really wrong". It was terrifying. Chills, panic, feeling of something stuck in throat or that I needed to belch and nothing happening. Feeling of not getting enough air even though I was breathing properly. Despair. Consider going to ER--but what could I tell them other than I was apparently losing my mind?

I will file a complaint with the fda and I will pass on to any and everyone to do the same...we can stop this medicine...
Remeron gives me good sleep but it does not always help me fall asleep. It seems to work differently in me, sometimes fabulous other times it doesn’t kick in.
I didn't realize it was the medicine until I was told to takea second round and the same symptoms started up again
