A member asked:

I have to take flagy for bv twice a day but i take them both together will it not work because i remember i took 4 at a time prescibed by my doctor?

Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Different conditions: Flagyl given four at a time is for treatment of trichomonas infection of the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis treatment requires a more prolonged treatment regimen of 7-10 days given two times per day. This works better if taken 12 hours apart rather than together based on the way Flagyl is metabolized in the body.
