Taking Metronidazole (Flagyl) Gel and Pills

If you've read from the beginning, you know I was prescribed Metronidazole back in summer 2013. Metronidazole is an antibiotic, meaning it kills all the bacteria in your vagina - even the good bacteria your vagina needs to stay healthy - which is why many women report that it is effective in treating their Bacterial Vaginosis, but not effective in curing it. Most women report that BV has returned within a few months. If you didn't know, Metronidazole comes in two forms - gel and pill. I've done the gel once, and the pills twice. The first is that same summer, and the second and third are in the fall because (surprise!) BV came back :(

AUGUST 2013: GEL

I started taking Metronidazole Gel as the doctor prescribed. I had opted out of the pills because you cannot drink alcohol during the time you take them (one week) plus three days after just to be safe. You can't even use mouth wash if it has the littlest bit of alcohol in it.

I had insurance at this point, so most of the medication was covered - I think I paid maybe $10 myself. Very cheap. The Diflucan was probably around the same price, if not less. Both were inexpensive with my insurance plan.

Taking the Metronidazole gel was easy and painless - and best of all, you can keep the handy applicators for future use (because trust me, Bacterial Vaginosis WILL come back and you WILL need those applicators to put all sorts of other things in your vagina!) But anyway - at this point I was unassuming and I happily put the gel in my vagina every evening as directed.

The Metronidazole gel wasn't painful but it was quite messy. Wear a pad or panty liner to bed and the next day. I'm always surprised when I see women complaining on Bacterial Vaginosis forums about heavy discharge after using gels - it's like, hello, what do you expect? What goes up must come down!!

For those wondering, sex is out of the question while inserting the gel unless your guy doesn't mind the potential mess on his penis.

All in all, the gel worked great until I got my next period. Then.... BV was back.

SEPTEMBER 2013: PILLS ONCE

After BV came back, I decided maybe I should try the pill becuase perhaps it would work better than the gel. Luckily, I had asked my doctor for both prescriptions (gel and pill) so I could decide later which I wanted to use. I still had the pill prescription so I went back to my pharmacy and picked up the Metronidazole in pill form. The pills are super easy and the only inconvenience is that you cannot drink alcohol while taking them. They give you 14 and you take one in the morning and one in the evening every day for 7 days.

Many women report a yeast infection immediately after taking the Metronidazole pills but I did not have this issue. Regardless, I took the Diflucan just to be safe.  Results? Wohoo! BV was gone again and I was happy!

It should be noted, I was also taking a cheap Acidophilus supplement twice daily during this time. However, I do believe that the Metro worked for me. That is, until I got my period...

OCTOBER 2013: PILLS AGAIN

Third time around, I went to a different doctor and she again recommended Metronidazole. I decided to try the pills once more in hopes that the last time was a fluke. Boy, was I wrong. This was by far my worst Metronidazole pill experience ever! Remember those women mentioning yeast infections? I have never gotten a yeast infection in my life - but I'm pretty sure Metro gave me one! I had constant burning and itching - more than BV ever gave me before! It was so bad that I had to stop taking the pills with about 4 left (2 days) in the bottle, and go straight to the Diflucan (which thankfully worked within one day).

At this point, I knew I needed to search elsewhere for a reliable remedy to Bacterial Vaginosis.

Please share your experience with Metro in the comments below to help others!

  1. Sis, the man has to be treated also. If not you will get BV again. I feel like its a secret the drug companies dont want us to know about. The woman gets treated while the male does not? Please girls the man needs to take metrodinazole aswell or you will forever get this awful bacteria. If he doesnt believe you, show him evidence via Google. Of he still doesnt believe, leave him and find a more understanding man. No man is worth continually getting the stinky stank and doesn't want to be proactive about it. Love yourself MORE

  2. Men only have to be treated for trich. BV is not sexually transmitted.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Well if you read about bv, it's says it's can be transmitted through multiple sexual partners. Me and my bf had separated and although I did not have any sexual partners he was open that he did. Ever since then I've had an issue with bv and I'm convinced he needs to be treated to. I feel like it comes every time we have sex. And we are both std free. I did see my Gyn and it was confirmed bv.

    1. The reason multiple sexual partners contribute to BV is because of the disruption of the pH level in your vagina. Semen has a pH of 7 and a normal vagina has a pH of 3-4.5. Big difference causing issues. Because BV stands for bacterial VAGINOSIS mean of the vagina. Men can carry Garderella; however, it is not typically transmitted between the two. You can have him take the Flagyl. It will not hurt him; however, you may find that you still get BV as some women get it without having sex at all.

    2. I still don’t know the right words to express my gratitude to this great man Dr Edidia. After been diagnosed of HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS in 2 months ago, i was given so many health prescription and advice with no improvement, I totally lost hope, until i found testimonies of Great Dr Edidia online research and on Facebook, Like anybody would be, I was very skeptical about contacting him, but i later did and he opened up to me and told me what was involved and he started the remedies for my health. Thank God, I was cured from herpes by the herbal medication I received from him. I never thought that herpes can be cured, from the bottom of my heart I'm truly grateful,i pray you have long life so you can help many more people on earth with your herbal medical support, one thing i love most about Dr Edidia is honestly, and he is very polite with his patience, everything he told me was what he did, and his herbal medicine are very affordable.

  6. BEST NATURAL TREATMENT FOR HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) earning that you have HPV can be one of the most difficult experiences you go through in life. You may feel scared, sad or even angry – this is OK, and a completely natural part of coping with something that can be life changing.

    My name is Johnny Mary and i am from the United States.

    I remember spending so much money buying drugs from hospitals hoping that i will be cured from HPV VIRUS, but all to no avail. I contacted so many  doctors and they prescribe medicine for me which they indeed tried their best but was unable to provide for me a possible cure, luckily i saw a comment about a herbal doctor, (Dr.Ogberaese) online.

    I then contacted him (Dr.Ogberaese) through his email, After much chat and enquiry with the doctor, i decide to take a leap of faith because i have nothing to loose.
    To my greatest surprise, Dr.Ogberaese prepare a medicine and  send me a Herbal Medicine through FEDEX courier Service, and he gave me guidelines on how am to take it. I followed all procedures as instructed, and after 2 weeks of taking it i was cure from HPV VIRUS  his medicine is legit and it is real. I just want to encourage all individuals out there living with HERPES ,  ITCHY SHINGLES , Genital Herpes, HSV1&2, HIV/AIDS/ HPV, COPD, CANCER, Hepatitis b, Lupus, PCOS, Kidney failure, Lung cancer and alot more. That there is still a huge chance that you can get cure only with the help of dr Ogberaese. kindly contact him via email: drogberaese54@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2348073818653
