A member asked:
If you have trichomoniasis can i take metronidazole vaginal gel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less effective: Though vaginal trichomoniasis can be effectively treated with metronidazole, oral Metronidazole (single or several day dosing) is much effective. One study that compared the two methods reported a >95% cure with oral medication and only ~50% with the gel.
