| 4 | bv | I haven't really noticed any side effects but a brownish pinkish looking clumpy discharge when I wiped this morning after urinating. I've taken this for 3 nights so far and the fishy smell was gone the second night.I'm also 7 weeks pregnant. So I think its doing its job. :) | F | 28 | 5 days 70 | 9/18/2013 | 5 | yes | Bad taste cramps | F | 53 | 5 days 75 | 9/9/2013 | 5 | Continuous Bv | The only symptom I'm having is this thick disgusting white, yellowish,pinkish chunk discharge. I'm not upset about our because the smell is COMPLETELY gone. I've been suffering continuously for the last 4+ years now. Is caused me to have my youngest child 12 weeks early. Visited a new GYN with this method saying that instead of using it one a night for a week...finish the tube. Got 3 refills so if it comes back do it again for one more tube then again once a week till it's gone. He says he gives this treatment once per patent and they don't come back with the same issue. Im thinking this time the infection was pretty bad because this discharge is relentless! It looks like a bad cold with goat cheese stirred in with a few splashes of ketchup every now and then (gross). I've had it before but it stopped at the end of the one week treatment. I'll keep using it until the tube is gone and hopefully the vaginal vomit will be gone too | F | 26 | 6 days .75% | 6/9/2013 | 3 | BV | Clumpy white discharge, cramping, nausea, fatigue. | I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and my doctor prescribed me this stuff. The clumpy discharge didnt appear till day 4, but scared me because I was concerned for the baby. I read it was normal though, i feel queasy often. Hoping this doesnt have any effects on my baby..I feel him kick alot, but I also have been cramping way more than usual. | F | 5 days .75 1X day | 6/3/2013 | 4 | bV abd yest infection | 3rd day taking it and see do much improvement. Just a little dischage but that's just because its cleaning out all the bad stuff...drink plenty water. . | F | 3 days 075 | 5/10/2013 | 4 | BV | I've used Metro-gel vaginal 0.75% enough in the past 21 years. I'm very sensitive in this area. ANY CHANGE EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST I WOULD GET BV. Every time METRO-GEL has worked. Until last year, I had typical BV symptoms. Went to three different DR's and was tested for everything under the sun..including BV. ALL TESTS RETURNED NEGATIVE. BUT I KNEW THIS ODOR QUITE WELL. SO I ASKED FOR Rx of metro-gel anyway. The pharmaceutical company Walgreens had recently contracted with was Sandoz. I picked up my Rx which was 1×day @ 5 day. I used it for 5 days after day 4, the fishy discharge was still very prominent. So I contacted the Dr and had a new Rx called in to CVS. Got Rx and after 3 days of using the Prasco brand of Metro-gel, odor was all gone and I have had no issues since. Up until recently, I accidentally got some soap a little too far inside my vaginal area and within a couple of days I noticed fishy odor. I knew right away what was going on. I called my Dr had Rx for metro-gel called in. I've been using it for 3 days now out of the 7 and odor is still present. Maybe tonight's dose will get rid of it. | F | 39 | 4 days 7 days | 5/6/2013 | 4 | Bv | White chunky discharge, abdominal cramping. | F | 26 | 3 days | 5/6/2013 | 5 | vaginitis | Well I'm 6 months pregnant and went to the ER for some vaginal itching and bumps. Dr checked me out and told me that I have vaginitis. She prescribed me metro gel vaginal gel for 5 days before bedtime. Day 1: i was burning and itching so bad I thought that this medication was exacerbating the vaginitis. Day2: i slept all day. Once I woke up I was still itching and burning. Day 3: it started to feel better then I started to have a white chunky discharge looked like ricotta. Day 4: continued chunky discharge but most of the itching and burning was gone. Also the bumps that I had were almost gone. Day 5: still have a little discharge but I feel much better. Day 6: the discharge is changing so I think my body is getting better. I didn't have any cramps and I was worried for the baby but I had to take this medication. It helped me tremendously. | F | 24 | 5 days 1X day | 5/2/2013 | 4 | Bacterial vaginosis | I had a discharge kinda like ricotta cheese after starting this medication .. I was told it was normal - so ladies don't freak out . Also, I had red/brownish discharge - also started bleeding . While taking it . I'm still taking this medication and tonight is my last dosage and , symptoms have pretty much cleared up and, after day one the horrid fishy smell went away and that's when the nasty discharge began . I did experience nausea , light headedness , fatigue , moody and, loss of appetite . The oral pills were way worse and didn't work at all for me . If I had to take this medication again for Bc - I definitely would. Felt better instantly | F | 24 | 5 days .75 | 4/20/2013 | 3 | chronic bv | Caused White thick clumpy discharge. Towards the 5th day had sum cramps. When i wiped the discharge it smelled like perfume? maybe its the gel i dont know but iam waiting til the discharge goes away to see if it works or not | F | 21 | 5 days 1 a day | 4/6/2013 | 1 | bv | MISCARRIAGE, Severe cramping, headaches | I SUFFERED A MISCARRIAGE JUST 2 DAYS AFTER USING THIS GEL! | F | 24 | 1 days 1X day | 3/13/2013 | 4 | BV | First time being treated for BV i was prescribed the pill i had severe side effects and stopped taking it after one dosage. Second time i went in, I got metrogel and it was alot easier to use, but i still had pretty bad side effects; extremely fatigued, heavy gel like discharge especially with activity(understandle, i believe it was just the gel making its way out), drymouth, nausea, sore throat, woke up with my whole left leg asleep, trouble breathing, body aches, & i felt really moody. | I would recommend this over the pill. | F | 20 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/9/2013 | 5 | BV | White thick cottage cheesy discharge | The metrogel cured me of BV. I figured the clumpy white discharge meant he gel was bring down whatever was up there. I haven't used the gel for 7 days now and my discharge is still the same, white thick and clumpy. But thank god the odor and itchiness is gone. | F | 38 | 5 days 1X day | 2/24/2013 | 4 | Bacterial Infection-Gardenella | I think this product is helping alot! I started off by using the pill and it made me feel like complete crap and got horrible horrible side effects from it. So my doctor thought the gel would be better for me and surprisingly have had little to no side effects. All I've had is some stomach cramps, gas, ans thick white cottage cheese discharge (which is the medicine/bacteria coming out). I've also just experienced little itching as well. I know some people have gotten yeast infections from this medication but that is easily curable as well. :) hope this helped others! | F | 21 | 5 days | 2/15/2013 | 4 | bv | This is my first time havin bv that i kno about. I am on day on and expiericing very bad cramps and have slight headache with dizziness and very tired | F | 18 | 5 days | 2/4/2013 | 2 | Bv infection | After 2 days I noticed a large increase of clumpy white discharge. Even after using the gel I still exprience the same symptoms. For future references I rather take the tablet anytine | F | 24 | 10 days | 1/24/2013 | 4 | bv | About two months ago I was on the vaginal gel, I got the white discharge freaked out Google's it everyone said it was yeast, quit taking gel, got yeast infection pill, still had problems, all to find out the white discharge Is the medicine. So I'm back on it today will be my 4th day and I was just wondering if anyone had a kinda greenish discharge come out on there pad etc? I have no smell and no more itching but noticed some green kinda thick discharge on my pad? Is this normal? Other than that I have experienced head aches but the pills taste like shit so ill use the gel anyday!!! | F | 19 | 6 days | 12/1/2012 | 5 | BV | Worked great, the smell and discharge from the BV were gone after the first day. Also experienced the white wet toilet paper/cottage cheese discharge during and after the 5 days of using the metro gel, came across this site and felt much better knowing that this is a normal side effect because it worried me at first. For anyone who is wondering, the white clumpy discharge lasted about 3 days after I stopped using the medicine, but I also scooped some of it out with my finger. If you are not comfortable doing that, it may take slightly longer to come out by itself. | F | 27 | 5 days 5 g 1X day | 11/17/2012 | 5 | BV | Just the white rubbery discharge. Will ask for yi pill just in case. Took the pill, tastes horrible so i was bad at taking it on time. That got rid of the odor cuz i did finish my full dose. But since it was so irregular didn't fully cure bv. Now using metrogel i love it only 1x/day. And no side effects like the pill! | F | 21 | 6 days 5mg/day | 11/5/2012 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | I was prescribed the gel because i had had BV a few months ago and was given oral flagyl, and because i was also prescribed an oral antibiotic for a sinus infection at the same time. With the oral flagyl, i was pretty sick through the full course of treatment. this time I experienced the full range of side effects: headache, sore throat, nausea, diarrhea, cramping, gas, bloating, discharge, sinus infection, yeast infection, irritability, depression, and lethargy. Honestly, the cure has been worse than the BV. Who would have thought that a vaginal gel would pack such a wallop? Additionally, the insert says the gel's effectiveness rate is only around 50%--leading me to ask why I went through all of this for what could well be no good reason? If it doesn't clear this time, I don't know what I will do. But I know what I won't do: use any more Flagyl products! If anyone had hit on a course of preventative care for BV, or effective natural cure, please contact me. I am stick experiencing the symptom that sent me to the doctor in the first place. | F | 47 | 6 days 5 day | 10/31/2012 |
