A member asked:
I have much thicker discharge after usage of metronidazole vaginal gel .75% for 9 days once per day, what do you advise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go back to your MD: The treatment for bacterial vaginosis is metronidazole 500 mg oral pill twice daily for 7 days. Another approach is metronidazole vaginal gel topically in the vagina once nightly for 5 days. Both approaches have been shown to be equally effective. Alternatives are clindamycin or tinidazole. If this has not worked, I would go back to your doctor for repeat testing to make sure it is BV.
