A member asked:

Can i still expect good results after i had sex while using clindamycin phosphate vaginal cream i have already taken prescription pills for clearing the vaginal bacteria and they failed to work

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It : It should still work, but if you have persistent symptoms then you will need to be re-tested. Always use a condom to avoid infection.

Likely yes,: good chance of clearing bacterial vaginitis, however yeast may overgrow, needing an anti-fungal medication.
