Metronidazole vaginal gel

Metronidazole is an antibiotic used to treat a number of bacterial infections, namely bacterial vaginosis (BV). When taken twice daily for 7 days, it kills bacteria cells and negates symptoms of the common bacterial infection.

Metronidazole gel works by directly entering bacterial cells and damaging their DNA. This stops the growth of harmful bacteria in the vagina, easing symptoms and treating your infection within 5 days.

Please note: Metronidazole gel does not work for fungal or yeast infections.

There are many benefits of using Metronidazole gel to treat BV:

Targeted treatment

Metronidazole vaginal gel is applied directly to the vagina to treat bacterial infections directly at the source.

Fewer side effects

Since it is applied locally, Metronidazole gel carries a lower risk of side effects than tablets. It also means it is less likely to disrupt your gut bacteria compared to oral antibiotics.

Convenient

Metronidazole gel is usually applied once daily at bedtime, making it easy to fit into your schedule.

Short treatment course

Metronidazole gel is usually only prescribed for a 5-day course; perfect for women who value their time.

Metronidazole gel is a highly effective treatment for bacterial vaginosis, completely clearing the infection within 5 days.

One clinical study found that 87% of women using Metronidazole gel were cured within 5 days, compared to just 17% of women using a placebo.

You should notice the effects of Metronidazole within a few days of using it. During this time, symptoms should reduce and you should start feeling better. Complete resolution of symptoms is usually felt after 5 days of consistent use. If your infection worsens or symptoms don't resolve, seek medical attention.

Apply Metronidazole gel directly to your vagina once per day in the evening for 5 consecutive days.

Follow these instructions when using Metronidazole gel:

Here are instructions on how to use Metronidazole vaginal gel:
	Wash your hands and dry thoroughly To fill the applicator, remove the cap of the gel and screw the end of the applicator onto the tube. Then, gently squeeze the tube from the bottom to fill the applicator until the marked line. Lie on your back with your knees bent Gently insert the applicator into the vagina as far as it feels comfortable.
	Push on the plunger to release all the gel into the vagina Remove the applicator and dispose of it Place the cap back on the tube. Wash your hands again.

Metronidazole gel should be used for a course of 5 days to completely clear your infection.

It is important to complete the entire course prescribed, even if your symptoms resolve before you finish. If you do not complete the full course, you risk your infection returning even stronger than before.
