 5  BV No side effects. I actually drank while using it and had no side effects. If you take the Oral medication you will be VERY ILL. Don't even have a sip of alcohol. I think I took used the gel once a day for 7 days. It was awhile ago so I don't really remember but let me tell you its a miracle! I was so embarressed. I asked a good friend thats a doctor about what i should do and he recommended it. So thankful. F 26

 3  BV Cottage cheese, I find it was closer to the wet toilet paper shnivels, until I found a huge clump. I was completely scared. I'm also administering a drug to myself for a UTI, I was dead frightened this was a side effect of that. Doesn't help that I'm pregnant and don't trust my body with most drugs- prescribed or not. I don't seem to be the type to often gets medicinal side effects, so it's day three and all I've had so far is cheese. Whew... I say you should apply this stuff only if you NEED it. It's grody and the applicators I was given don't have a tapered end, so inserting them into an already irritated and wounded feeling vagina isn't quite the best feeling one could have. F 20 5 days

 1  BV OMG! I'm so glad that I found this site because I was ready to go to the doctor because I thought that something was terribly wrong with me. But, after reading all of the other comments I have calmed down. I didn't even think about how these symptoms only started happening after I began my first dose until I stumbled upon this site while I was frantically searching the internet for possible reasons for this brown tissue like substance. It all makes so much sense to me, I used this medicine for 3 days and started having these symptoms but my period was on it's way so I thought that maybe it was because of that. Then while I was on my period the substance stopped but my Doctor had recommeded that I take another dose after my period finished when he prescribed it to me, so I did take another dose on Tuesday and while I was taking a shower Thursday a ball of brown tissue came out and freaked me the hell out again. So, i'm so thankful for the information that you ladies have shared because F 27 4 days

 2  BV White clumpy toilet paper-like discharge I am a little ticked off that no where on the package did it say anything about these symptoms. I supposed that it meant the gel must be working but it is very scary. I never had the "fishy odor" or any other symptoms of BV and I have another obgyn appointment tomorrow and am going to be very upset if this gel caused me a yeast infection. I had read somewhere that sometimes BV is misdiagnosed in women who have always had more discharge than others and believe that may apply to me. Years ago a doctor told me I had Trichomonas and when i went for a second opinion the second doctor told me that I did not and it was just my bodys natural production of more mucus. I'll update after my appointment tomorrow. F 22 5 days

 1  Vaginitis I had terrible abdomen cramps all the time, some low grade fever and my heart raced. I hadn't quite realized that the medicine was the problem until I read the patients' reviews here and I immediately stopped taking it. The cramps and the fever are gone, the palpitations not yet.

 3  BV I had the same vaginal white/blooding discharge as most of you reported. Thank god for this post or I would have continued freaking out. It has been three days and I am still bleeding, almost like a light period. I keep wondering when it will go away. Or when I can have sex again. F 20 5 days

 4  BV I had the same creamy white/pink discharge that many of you have experienced. I'm so glad I found this page because I was THIS close to freaking out. I figured the medicine wasn't helping me at all because I was still experiencing this annoying discharge. I really wish they would explain this as a normal side effect on the package, instead of having me search the internet none stop for answers. I've got one more application to go and I'm hoping that the discharge will go away veryyy soon. My boyfriend hates it even more than I do... =P F 18 5 days

 2  BV Not sure what to make of this stuff yet. I'm on day 4 of 5 and have felt sick for the last two days. Nausea, bloating, terrible pelvic pain, and a general feeling of unwell. I felt fine for the most part when I got the drug. I knew I had a BV infection for almost a week prior to getting the gel and my symptoms weren't anything compared to this! I also have horrible clumpy white discharge. Ew! I'm thinking I want to quit this medication but after the initial five days I'm to coninue treatment twice a week for two months. When am I ever suppossed to have sex?! I'm getting married february 14th! F 23 2 months
