A member asked:

I have been taking metronidazole 250 for bv infection and now im spotting was wondering, is, that, a side effect from the meds or possible, pregnancy?

Dr. Liza Kunz answered

Either: The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. The ones you can buy at the pharmacy work very reliably! a vaginal infection can cause some spotting, but why not take the test to be sure.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
