A member asked:

My doctor told me i had bacterial vaginosis and said that doxycycline would clear it up or in case i had chlamydia it would clear it up to is that tru?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doxycycline: Is not the treatment of choice for BV but it may work depending on what u have , doxy should get rid of chlamydia if u have that, i assume u had cultures cause that will show exactly what u have as u can have BV and std at the same time, the treatment of choice for BV is Clindesse vag cream, or Metrogel or oral flagyl.
