A member asked:
Can doxycycline hyclate be used for bacterial vaginosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Best choices are metronidazole (Flagyl) or clindamycin. Lots of failures with penicillins, cephalosporins and tetracyclines (doxycycline is a form of tetracycline). Should probably not use
