This medication worked very well for me. I will request it if needed in the future.

This medication only made my BV worse. It was too messy and it caused me to have to wear a mini-pad during the night and day. After the 5 days of usage, my BV seemed to be a lot worse than before I started taking the medication. I didn't have any side effects, but I feel that due to the cost of this medication ($15), it should have worked. Now my doctor has prescribed the pill form (flagyl)500...

Post menopausal BV for 3 mos before diagnosis. Have used oral flagyl in my younger years and it was horrible on my stomach. The gel was kinda yucky but the 5 days passed fast with no side effects and condition is much better. Was unhappy that it contains parabens and propylene glycol which I avoid in other skin care products

I didn't have any side effects, but I feel that due to the cost of this medication ($15), it should have worked. Now my doctor has prescribed the pill form (flagyl)500 mg, 2x a day for 7 days. Today is my first day, so hopefully it'll clear up my BV.

Prescribed this and antibiotic for "cervix and uterus irritation." This medicine caused MILD cramping after 3rd dose and SEVERE cramping after 4th dose. Not worth it in my opinion.

This medication did not work for me! Prior to taking it my only symptom was an increase in discharge. The medicine has caused iching and burning and after 5 days of taking it I'm worse then when I started. I had severe cramping (think BAD period cramps) for 2 days and was nauseated for 1. I delt with the side effects because I wanted the infection to clear up... however that did not happen!

Unfortunately it has not worked for me. Looking into other options. Also important to note that I had a severe rection to alcohol use with this drug. Do not have alcoholic drink, use mouthwash, or anything containing alcohol on skin. Swelling occured in tongue, lips, and oral glands.

I feel better after the 5th doses and I two doses per day due to severe infection. After the 5th dose, I feel tired but the itchy seems to be cure. I wash myself two to three times a day to avoid too much moisture and hope that this can prevent yeast infection. I am on my 6th dose and believe this medicine cure my infection.

This medication is not effective. I am still experiencing abdominal pains and my vagina seems as if its dilating. I have a constant discharge and odor when moving around for long hours. I really wish there was something else out there, because this medication is not doing it for me. ugh!

Experienced a large amount clotting discharge, swelling, and a rash. Discontinued use of the medication before the 5 days were up because of it being very painful.

I noticed a big difference after one application but have used it for the full five days as prescribed. I'm confident that this has treated the infection.

I had good results just after one application! I'm still using it ,and it seems to be very effective. The only ill effective was that I drank a glass of wine and soon after I got sick. I did not know til I read it here that you can't drink.
