A member asked:
When taking clindamycin capsules for bv should i be symptom free on the last day..if not symptom free does that mean resistance or longer dose needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If not symptom free it could mean that you have clindamycin-resistant strain of the bacteria. I would see your doctor and discuss possible alternative therapies. Metronidazole is another choice. So is the use of probiotics, like Luvena, for example. Talk to your doctor, consider re-exam to see if clue cells still present.
