What happens if i stop taking metronidazole vaginal gel after 8 doses and don't take the last dose or 2 thats left in the tube?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely okay: You'll likely be okay. 8 doses is the majority of the tube. Ideally, of course, you finish the tube. If you're worried you can see doctor to make sure that the bacteria has been treated and vagina is back to normal. Or you can follow and make sure symptoms don't return. Best of luck!
