A member asked:
Is bv susceptible to any other oral antibiotics besides flagyl & clindamycin? also how many days should meds be given for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: The only two antibiotics recommended are Flagyl and clindamycin, given for 7 days. There are some studies that suggest probiotics (either oral or intravaginal doses) can be helpful to suppress relapses, though!
