User Reviews for metronidazole vaginal

This medication has worked wonders for me and I've been so scared to go to the doctor and tell them I have this problem . My discharge had a very bad odor and even I could not stand it . I got this medication to use in 5 days as well as some other medication for anti-inflammation . In 4 days the smell was gone even though I had yellow/white discharge that had a cheese like consistency . But now it's been 2 days after my last dosage and I'm still good . I had no side effects and I'm so happy with the results. Read More Read Less

Hi I’m just stop using it day before yesterday which was October 22 23 I’m replying to Beth. It scared me too mine didn’t come from sexual intercourse. I was pregnant and lost my baby and got a uterus infection. I was given a gel because the pills make me feel dizzy. I also realize that using the gel also makes me feel a little dizzy as well, but after using it for four nights, had to have a lot of little white clumpy discharge, that’s really soft to touch. It says on Google that once you finish using it, it will go away. It’s still coming out. It did not have a smell. It seems as if it may try to again I’m going back to see my primary care doctor tomorrow if anyone has any answers about , what to do please share. Read More Read Less

I was to use the gel for 5 days. The afternoon after the 3rd night, I kept getting the urge to urinate and had to run to the ladies room three times within 45 minutes (I was at a mall). As I drove home, it happened again but I didn't make it. At home, for about 2 hours, after I urinated, I felt a burning sensation and there was a little blood in the toilet and when I wiped. It is now 2 days later. I did not continue the treatment. The urge to urinate isn't as bad as 2 days ago but I will wear an incontinence pad when I leave the house for a while! Read More Read Less

I am currently using this medication for treatment of bv. I’m wondering if anyone else that’s used it has experienced burning and irritation?

I am using it to treat BV, i am type one diabetic so i have recurrent bv and yeast infection so this is not the first time i am using it. However, every time i use it i get itchy and i get Bartholin gland swelling! This can’t be a conicidence. In fact, i only get this swelling when i use flagyl

I've used this medication twice with the applicator, and the applicator end that inserts is not rounded, it is just cut off at the end leaving quite sharp edges. I found it almost impossible to insert, and it was painful. The applicator should be rounded at the end for ease of insertion.

I suffer from recurring bv and I finished the treatment a week ago I'm still having discharge it's really starting to frighten me because I am negative for both a yeast infection and bv but I have outrageous amount of discharge. Does this happen to anyone else for weeks after ending the metronidazole gel?

I stupidly tried to self medicate and came away with yellowish gunk That aside I was then put on this gel, smell has gone but the discharge is DISGUSTING, doctor warned me not to drink but I forgot I was on this stuff and was horrifically sick, as well as this I've been dizzy, my neck is tender, my breasts hurt and I feel like I'm in the cusp of coming down with the flu I am now on day 5 and the clumpy discharge has gotten lesser so I can only assume the bacteria has all been pushed out

My first experience of having BV (probably due to new partner and a recent round of antibiotics to treat cystitis). Opted for metronidazole gel so antibiotic was directly targeting the problem. It was a 5 day course, applied at night before bed time. The gel was definitely an irritant. Waking up after the first application, my inner labia and critical hood were puffy and I could feel a light stinging. But I knew these were possible side effects and ploughed on. By the evening of day two, I had a white lumpy discharge when I wiped after going for a wee. This continued until 2 days after treatment stopped. I had cystitis-like symptoms on days 4 and 5, in the morning only. No burning at the end of weeing, but a feeling like I needed to wee and not much coming out - I think this was caused by the irritation to vulva by the gel. This also stopped once treatment ended. The gel is easy to use, and apart for discharge and slight irritation to my genitals, everything was fine. BV has cleared up and I am ready to get on with my life without smelling like a fish ??Read More Read Less

My experience has been pretty good so far. I am into my 5th night tonight and really haven't experienced any side effects. The only thing I've noticed at my 5th morning is the white "cottage cheese" discharge that most are experiencing. The good thing is the gel has helped my itching go away after the 4th night, which is a godsend! So overall a good experience. I just hope the discharge doesn't turn into a "yeast infection"... but it seems that it is a normal thing to get from this gel antibiotic. I do take probiotics for many years now so maybe that will help keep it at bay...fingers crossed!Read More Read Less

I take a strong daily probiotic, and with my dr permission i doubled my probiotic dose while using this gel. I took this medication (inserted vaginally) once a day for 5 days, as prescribed. Symptoms went away during treatment then returned maybe a day or so after finishing treatment. The dr prescribed me the same medication once more and I did the treatment again. My symptoms still hadn’t gone away, and I still had half the gel remaining, so I decided to disassemble and thoroughly clean an applicator and continue the treatment for a few more days, cleaning the applicator after every use. I had just switched to a new job, and would not have insurance for a few months, so I did this without being able to consult my doctor (meaning I do not recommend doing this unless your dr tells you to). My symptoms finally cleared up after 8 days of using the gel. Huge relief after having bv for two months and dealing with constant itchiness. I did have chunky white discharge while on this medication but it cleared up shortly after the 8 days were up. I got transient headaches, muscle pain, and nausea as well but this also cleared up after completing my course. Overall it worked?m, I just wish it worked sooner Read More Read Less

I have had chronic reoccurrence of BV and yeast infections. I become frustrated because nothing has helped at all. I’ve tried everything. I came across an article where people were using diflucan while on metro gel or antibiotics and it has prevented them from getting a yeast infection. I happened to have a prescription for both because I didn’t use them from previous issues. Let me tell you I have not had any issues period. Prior to trying this I have tried boric acid, probiotics ongoing , yogurt, you name it. This has been the method that has worked for me. Read More Read Less

I have used this gel before. I do typically get the white chunky discharge while I’m using it and a day or so after completing. Never longer though. It also helps to take a women’s vaginal flora probiotic. The one I take is by Nordic Naturals and I take them all year round. I haven’t had BV in years and it has seemed to help speed up the process for me and prevent any yeast infections after!

Am I the only one that has had trouble getting all of the gel or cream to discharge from my vagina? It is now a few days after my last dosage and I can stick my finger inside and still remove the cream? I feel that this will only cause another infection with not being able to expel all the cream. Please advice

Overall, not a bad experience at all. No stinging when inserting and no crazy side effects other than the discharge (only in the morning and when I moved around alot) and some itching. I was also diagnosed with a yeast infection and took two diflucans. Clumpy discharge started on day 3 and I have a question: has anyone else experienced green jelly, clumpy discharge using this? I know the jelly part might just be the gel leaking but I see alot of people saying its white, cottage cheese like but when I look its green. It's not terribly itchy and I really don't notice an odor. I take my last dose tonight and I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this. Will update when finished.Read More Read Less

Oh my goodness…can’t even begin to describe how terrible this medication has made me feel. My NP prescribed this and diflucan to treat my BV and yeast infection (I took the diflucan first and then started this one). The first couple of days were fine and I had no side effects. By day 3, I had extreme nausea, a rapid heart rate (Even the slightest movements would cause my rate to jump up to almost 115) and acid reflux symptoms (I ended up feeling a burning sensation/heavy feeling throughout my chest, esophagus, and stomach). I also had difficulty breathing— I was so scared I was having a heart attack. I’ve also been lightheaded and having a hard time falling asleep because of how anxious I’ve been. The other night I was up until 5 am because I couldn’t fall asleep laying down, the burning was too much to handle. Thankfully my dad is a nurse and told me I was fine—but the whole experience has been traumatic. I’ve never had a reaction like this to ANY type of medication—I had one treatment left but couldn’t bring myself to take it because of how insufferable my symptoms have been. And now on top of everything else I’m almost 99% positive I have a yeast infection AGAIN after I just got done treating it. It just feels like a constant cycle that I’m not able to win. I will be calling my NP to see what else I can do, but I can promise I won’t be trying the pill form of this medication either (I’ve heard that people have a hard time with that one too). I will say the gel was easy to use, and it seems to have cleared up the BV symptoms for the most part. But like I said, it’s not worth it with everything I’ve experienced and it causing another yeast infection. Please warn your family and friends about the side effects of this medication!!!!!!!Read More Read Less

I used this 1 time and because of how severe my symptoms are, my doc said to stop taking it. When I woke up the next day, I couldn't walk, I was extremely dizzy and nauseous the whole day. Even just laying down I was dizzy. Wish it worked well for me

I suffer from reoccurring bv and yeast infections. One day it became very itchy extremely. I went to a new obgyn because my doctor was booked out all the way until next year. She diagnosed me with bv which had no smell it was just very very itchy. So she asked if i wanted to try a gel i take 5 days nighly, My previous treatments has been the pill (which is very nasty, but no taste if you take it with yogurt) 2 times a day for 7 days works wonders. The cream (very messy, but worth it) nightly supository for 7 days, symptoms gone within the first use. So i agreed to try the gel. The first night i noticed burning sensation after i inserted my first tube, in the morning there were fat chunks of white stuff in my underwear, my symptoms was still there very much itchy. The 2nd night i noticed my lips were tingly and i look in the mirror and there all swollen so i take some benadryl. In the morning my tounge had swoll up too. So i look up this medication and i read all the reviews and they’re mostly good and some bad reviews but all the bad reviews were all saying the same thing. I have very sensitive Skin and they were saying that the ingredients ised to make this product are harsh. Read More Read Less

Personally this gwl seemed to be easy and painless to administer, BUT my only thing is that I put the applicator in as far as I could, without it being uncomfortable, and after I lay down for bed about 20 mins go by and it starts to seep/leak out. I feel like I've looked online to see how common it is for it to leak out after using and im not seeing anything! I want to know if I'm still getting the use out of it?

I would recommend this gel over the pills. I’ve had reoccurring BV for about 2 years. It happens around the end of my periods every couple months. The gel is actually a smooth feeling if taken correctly and has little to no side effects. Make sure to shower at night then insert gel before bed. The following day a panty liner is necessary because a little bit of the gel will leak throughout the day. The Pills made me nauseas and dizzy and even when you swallow, skipping your tongue, you taste the horrible metallic taste. The clumpy discharge is because the medicine cleaned out also the good bacteria so YES LADIES YOU HAVE A YEAST INFECTION DO NOT IGNORE. It’s Normal to happen when all bacteria is stripped, But not normal enough to ignore. I was prescribed fluconazole also For the yeast infection that I will be receiving after the metroGel. I’m shocked your Gynecologists haven’t prescribed them both together KNOWING This medicine Strips everything. Read More Read Less
