Diagnosed with bv, no sx other than occasional odor after intercourse. flagyl makes me very ill and was just prescribed metrogel. terrified to try! ?

Flagyl side effects: Flagyl (metronidazole) is well known to produce intense nausea in any person who consumes any form of alcohol, even that in a simple liquid cold medicine. If you have a reaction to this med, not part of this alcohol interaction, localized application of metrogel may reduce the bodies absorption/exposure enough to avoid the reaction. Otherwise another treatment would be needed.
