A member asked:
Diagnosed with bv and was given flagyl, but then was told i need clindamycin instead. should i take it? i finished flagyl and feel almost normal.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flagyl treats many: Unless tests show a particular organism sensitive to clindamycin, skip it. Antibiotics deplete the gastro-intestinal tract of good bacteria. Take good quality probiotics.
