A member asked:
Had scary reaction to flagyl 500 mg after taking one pill. got prescribed metrogel .75% but i'm scared. used clindamycin for gbs before. ok with bv?

Yes : There are 2 accepted treatments for bacterial vaginosis and Flagyl, metronidazole, is one but clindamycin is the other and should also work for you. With the history of an allergic reaction to Flagyl, it would be considered to be the drug of choice. Hope this helps.
