A member asked:

Diagnoses with trichomonas. took flagyl 2 pills a day for about a week. the symptoms returned. then took 4 pills one day. no sex at all but not better

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: If symptoms are not improved after taking prescribed medication, it's best to see the doctor for examination and appropriate tests to confirm a diagnosis. This will guide treatment. It's possible to have another type of infection or one that is resistant to the current treatment.
