A member asked:
Does silver sulfadiazine cure bv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Bv is a synergistic infection involving gardnerella and a number of other bacteria. It is treated with Metronidazole oral or intravaginal treatment. Tinidazole and Clindamycin are alternatives. Oral and intravaginal probiotics containing lactobacilli can help. Recurrent disease is related to colonization of your sex partner, inconsistant condom use. Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) is not a rx for bv. It is for burns.
