Will macrobid treat bacterial vaganios infection?

No: Macrobid doesn't kill the bacteria that cause bv. The antibiotics that are usually used are metronidazole, tinidazole, or clindamycin. Sometimes it doesn't even need to be treated with antibiotics though during pregnancy it probably should be as BV is associated with preterm labor and with low birth weight babies.

No: Macrobid is used for bladder infection and not bv. Bv involves different bacteria and needs a different antibiotic for treatment.
