A member asked:
I have z pack and bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) refills at home can it be used to treat bacterial vaginosis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Neither is a good treatment for BV, but that diagnosis can only be made by a gynecologist. Please see one to be sure you do have BV and have a specific med prescribed.
