I have been given metro gel (metronidazole )gel.i thought it was suppose to be a pump.instead it's just the bottle.theres no pump?how is this going to block odor?or did they give me the wrong thing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No pump: It is generally an applicator, of sorts (kinda like otc yeast infection remedies). Treating the infection (e.g. Decreasing the level of the bacteria) should get rid of the odor.
