| 4 | bv | extreme bloating, slight nausea at times, feeling of fullness, late period, back ache | M | 39 | 5 days 1X day | 4/28/2010 | 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 | Thick white discharge | Discharge after finishing | 39 | 5 days 7.5 gel | 2/16/2020 | 3 | BV | Welll I'm too old for this but . I was diagnosed with bv and a yeast infection. Got prescribed this metro gel . Already cramping prior to taking this - no odor or symptoms of Bv. Day 3 bleeding weird tissue like separated pulp like red blood. I swore I though I was on my period. But this did not look like my period or smelled like it. It had no odor and was bright red??!!!! So now on this night 3 while inserting gel were talking blood on this stick things ma jig ughhhhh Doctor says finish ur dose ! | It's crazy how I bleeding this deep red and passing minor clots and I'm not on my period I think ? Like come on . This makes me never wanna have sex again with a man or a woman SMH | F | 39 | 5 days 1X day | 9/18/2020 | 3 | BV | Abdominal pain, bloating. Day 3 had clumpy white tissue paper-like clumps in an egg white consistency....talk about freaked out. None of the literature mentions this, it REALLY should. Day 5 had a brownish discharge, slight burning, intense itching, but ended up having a yeast infection as well. Don't know if it worked or not yet. No odor, but things aren't normal because it's metallic smelling now. Fingers crossed. | I think it worked better than the clindimycin did (which I was on for two cycles and it did nothing). I hope this works...I don't want to take the oral due to the extreme side effects. I didn't drink during gel treatment because of the warnings. I too wish there were other options out there....it's not like rocket science! | F | 39 | 6 days | 1/27/2010 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginitis | Headache, nausea, my entire body ached & my skin actually hurt to touch it. | I was supposed to take it twice a day for 5 days. By day 2, my entire body ached and even my skin hurt (particularly the bottoms of my feet and the backs of my thighs) to touch it. I also had cramps, headache & nausea. I felt like I had been poisened. I've never had any negative reaction to any other medication before, but this was scary. It has been over a week since I discontinued use of the metrogel, & I am still having residual side effects, though they are slowly subsiding. I am told that this is the only option - we desparately need a new one! | F | 39 | 4 days | 6/5/2007 | 5 | bacterial infection | I did not experience any of the side effects the other women here did. The gel did come out as a clear discharge the next day so I wore a panty shield. Other than than NO adverse side effects. | After reading some of the other messages here I was not looking forward to the 5 day medication... but I did not have any of the side effects these women had. I even consumed alcohol during the treatment - again no problems. Just thought I would post a positive note for all the women that may be as worried as I was. | F | 38 | 5 days | 1/10/2008 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | None really, just a little bit of the white clumpy discharge. I was afraid of having stomach upset as so many reported on here because I have a queasy stomach, but none at all. | This medicine was wonderful. The odor was significantly reduced after one dose and completely gone after only two doses. Most people who get BV will have a recurrence at some point, and I am so glad to know this medicine is out there! | F | 38 | 5 days 1X day | 5/24/2010 | 5 | BV | Light discharge and mild cramping. | Would take again if needed. Anything is better then the smell of BV. | F | 38 | 5 days .75% Gel 1X day | 5/30/2010 | 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 | 5 | Bv | Only the clumpy discharge | I love it works almost immediately.Those who experience other issue may have smth more than bv. | F | 38 | 3 days 5 days | 6/5/2020 | 5 | BV | Thick white discharge | I LOVE this drug! I had to take it over my bday weekend so she gave me the gel so I could still party down. You can drink on the gel. I hate pills so it was perfect for me. After day 1 I woke up feeling better. By day 4 I was getting the discharge. Day 2 after last dose still had it. Perused a million pages to find this. I saw a gal mention a water only douche to get the discharge out. I only noticed it when I went to bathroom or stuck my finger in there to try to "scoop out." I saw a gal also just used the shower head to rinse it out. I verified with my doc and as long as the discharge didn't smell, itch or burn it was ok. So desperate to get that garbage out of there I did the shower head thing. And it is gone! Been gone a full day! Thank goodness!!! So weird sounding but it totally worked! | F | 38 | 5 days | 1/13/2017 | 4 | Thick white clumpy discharge. | I've been prescribed ths medication several times for recurrent BV. I had the thick white discharge, too. I used it at bedtime nightly and in the morning bathed, doing my best to rinse the clumps out. I know it sounds gross but it's the only way I could deal with it!! It cured the infection and I've used it for a couple days when I noticed symptoms coming back but only half an applicator full. It works!! | F | 38 | 5 days 1X day | 5/14/2011 | 3 | BV | Diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps (not too bad) | How many doses before the symptoms go away...like the white discharge? I did my 4th dose last night and still have the junk! | F | 38 | 7 days 0.75% 1X day | 6/21/2010 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Slight cramping, tiredness, white papery squiggly-shaped discharge, spotting, yeast infection. | The white discharge that accompanies this medicine is troubling. I don't think it is a symptom of a yeast infection, although I have had a yeast infection as a result of this treatment. The discharge is grainy, and shaped like a squiggly balled up tiny pieces of string. Like many of the other posts, I am troubled that this isn't mentioned in the literature that comes with the product. I have experienced it twice and it seems quite common from the other posts. If I knew it was a possible side-effect, it would be less scary. | F | 38 | 2 days | 11/25/2007 | 2 | bv | discharge like tapioca, also fleshy looking bits the chunky discharge does not flow out. my dr. said DO NOT douche, but how will the discharge ever get out? | F | 38 | 5 days | 8/14/2006 | 2 | For bv | I have tightness like my sides. Feeling sick, faster heart rate. Bowel complications.foul smell still exists after 5 days of use. What us going on. I'm also having chills. Ive been sick for two weeks now. What do I do now? | F | 38 | 0 days 0.75 | 10/13/2017 | 1 | Bv infection | Pain sickness felt like I had the flue dizzy called doc said that wasn't the meds fault got worse did another dose after vomiting and sick and now feel worse what should I do if my own doc won't listen ? | F | 38 | 5 days Insertion | 5/8/2017 | 1 | Tric | I was prescribed the peel the first day I was OK they number two are so light spotting I'm on day five and now I'm bleeding like a monthly cycle I'm really scared | F | 38 | 5 days 1X day | 2/18/2021 | 5 | BV slight odor | Smell went away after 1st dosage. No discharge, slight itching toward the end of treatment. 3 weeks later my menstrual is very very dark brown (at the beginning of cycle). This is alarming but I hope it will go away. | F | 37 | 5 days 1X day | 2/26/2016 |
