bacterial vaginitis
"I'm now 30 and have been battling recurrent bv for years now. My Dr. now has upped the dose of metronidazole to 250 mg 4 times daily for 10 days. The average dose never was able to to get rid of it for me. But this last time taking it I haven't gotten rid of it, so I'm prolonging it another 10 day round. Side effects do suck. I drank on it accidentally forgetting I needed to stay away from alcohol and got really sick. I also take the flagyl but I'm on it longer and its harder to tell if its gone away yet because of it's side effects. I just worry my body is getting used to the antiobiotic since I've used it so much. I've tried all the home remedies I found online too. Metronidizole is the only antibiotic I've tried that does work to get rid of it."
