A member asked:

Can metrogel (vaginal) cause a sore throat or throat irritation? i'm experiencing throat irritation after 2 days of using this drug...coincidence?

Probably coincidence: Metrogel vaginally does not usually cause the irritation However Flagyl orally can give some mouth metal like taste and can cause some stomach irritation With any indigested alcohol more side effects can occur
