| 4 | Vanginitus | When I was using Metro Vaginal Gel, I experienced alot of cottage looking discharge. It was disgusting. I also experience abdominal pain accompanied with headaches and nausea for the first day of using it. Hopefully this material works. | F | 15 | 5 days | 5/10/2009 | 4 | BV | I only experienced mild nausea on days 4 and 5 of treatment, and a general ill health feeling. The first few days, I did not experience any side effects. The smelly discharge went away immediately. I've also been taking acidophilus (the pill form) and yogurt with fruit for breakfast. My doctor told me that the gel will come back out white (this was before I even started the metrogel), so I was prepared. So far, I haven't even experienced the clumpy white discharge, but I haven't had sex with my husband yet either. | Overall, I think this is a good product. Side effects were mild, and it ultimately cleared the smelly fishy odor and leaky discharge. This was my first bv infection so hopefully it won't come back!!!! Think positive thoughts. | F | 33 | 5 days | 5/5/2009 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Yes, I got the white clumpy discharge, but I gotta tell you...it was so much better than the BV symptoms themselves. I was willing to deal with the clumpies just as long as that smell and that thin, constant smelly discharge went away. So to me, it was a good, temporary trade off. I'm dealing with BV again, and for some reason my doctor prescribed oral Metradonizole...and it has messed me up! They gave me Clindamycin instead, but I'm still dealing with the same side effects. I'm dizzy as hell, and it sucks! I would love to go back to the metrogel! | F | 30 | 5 days | 9/20/2008 | 4 | BV | Burning,Itching,Irritation | I had BV,the doctor prescribed metrogel for 5days.everything was perfect,no discomfort AT ALL.and it literally took the nasty smell away after the first day.After finishing my 5-day treatment,on the 6th day i had burning,itching,and irritation.its been a week since ive finished it and i still have burning and irritation with some itchyness.is this a common side effect? please help. | F | 21 | 5 days | 4/18/2009 | 4 | BV | slight lightheadedness and light cramping. | I would sometimes get slightly lightheaded, and slight cramping. I had some discharge (the medicine coming back out-gravity), but nothing that was bothersome. I think having to insert the medicine bothered me more. | F | 27 | 5 days | 5/19/2009 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Slight cramps and a wet toilet paper-like discharge after the 3rd day of treatment. It continued until I stopped taking the medicine. | Overall, the gel was effective = it did what it was supposed to do. I thought the medicine had given me a yeast infection when I saw the white discharge. It was only a temporary side effect of the drug though. I would recommend taking the pill form (Flagyl) before using the gel. | F | 26 | 5 days | 5/26/2009 | 4 | BV | Cramping, abdominal pain, white chunks like wet tissue, vaginal dryness and discomfort | On 1x/5days, at night. The side effects weren't that bad, aside from the white chunks. This was entirely unexpected (metrogel is clear, unlike the cream), and definitely not listed in the Rx warning, in the medication slip, or on the box. I'm not fully sure if it was yeast, but I just tried to rinse out (keeping very clean), and it was gone about 5/6 days after the last dose.. waiting to see if it might be yeast, or what. Did consume moderate amounts of alcohol (1-2 drinks) with this medication, with no side effects. Avoid things like hot tubs, that made the feeling of dryness worse. | F | 27 | 5 days | 9/19/2009 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | increased heart rate and a bit of dizziness after first dose. Not enough to make me stop taking it. | Tonight is my 4th dose (out of five). The odor and inflammation is completely gone. I inserted the gel right before bed, so I didn't have any problems with leaking. You have to hold the applicator in place when you fill it, or else it shoots off :) I have a noticeable amount of clumpy white discharge (odorless), which I'm hoping isn't the beginning of a yeast infection, but I'm not too worried about it. I read this site before going to the gyno and it freaked me out! But I have to say, MetroGel is working and I really don't have any side effects. I would recommend it for bacterial vaginosis, but, as you other ladies have proven, it's not for everyone! | F | 22 | 5 days | 11/20/2009 | 4 | BV | Slight abdominal cramping, slight headache, minimal discharge. | Reading all of these comments are really scaring me but I am on day 4 of 5 and so far all of my side effects have been pretty moderate. Day 3 had bad abdominal/back pains, but only lasted for a bit. Only a tiny bit of discharge, nothing crazy. I didn't have any symptoms before taking this medicine. Planning on having sex the day after dosage is done and am NOW super worried after reading all these comments... I shouldn't have looked it up! But thx for all the tips. Hope you guys are hanging in there! | F | 26 | 5 days | 10/25/2009 | 4 | Yeast Infection | A lot of white discharge after the first 2 days of treatment, bad cramps and also bloating. Warning: do not drink any alcohol with this medication, I forgot that I was on this medication and had a glass of wine with dinner one night and wasn't able to eat for 3 days after that, felt like throwing up. | F | 21 | 5 days | 1/12/2010 | 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 | 4 | BV | Incredibly clumpy cottage cheese like discharge, minor bleeding 1 day after, brown spotting/cramping 2 days after with discharge, headaches and food tasted bland while taking it. | It made the odor vanish after 1 dose. Overall I am happy but with the results but the after effect does seem to linger about a week after finishing the doses. | F | 32 | 5 days 5 1X day | 1/28/2011 | 4 | Bacterial Vagonosis | Clumpy white toilet-paper like discharge after 3rd day. | Freaked me out, and my husband did not appreciate the goo | F | 36 | 5 days 1X day | 3/28/2011 | 4 | BV | Headache, severe cramping, nausea, back pain, reddish-brown discharge | Had severe cramps and back pain. Nausea every day, and reddish brown discharge. Cured my BV but not sure if the side effects are worth it. I was too afraid to try alcohol. | F | 35 | 5 days .075% 1X day | 3/28/2011 | 4 | bv | discharge. | Remember not to drink alcohol while your on this medication. It can cause side effects if you do. | F | 27 | 5 days 1X day | 3/30/2011 | 4 | bv | white clumps inside the vagina folds, looks somewhat like balled up toilet paper, or yeast like. | i've used the cream and i think this gel works much bettter, less irritation, im glad i found this time! i check all my medicines under here! i am highly allergic to yeast infection creams, no symptoms yet for this drug..on day3! | F | 27 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/31/2011 | 4 | BV | itching and burning | i was first given the pills 500mg twice a day for 7 days,the first day; i noticed that the smell had vanished. then i suddenly got this really bad itching and burning so i called the doctor, she said that means the medication was working. the itching wouldn't go away, i went back to the doctors and i ended up having a yeast infection. they gave some other medicine and that same day i started getting the smell again. i waited it out,till i recently went back to the doctors and have BV again :// so i got the MetroGel this time. so far, i have no smell. lets see how this goes. | F | 19 | 5 days 1X day | 2/24/2011 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | • Mild flushing/burning of the skin the first day • Vivid dreams first few days and inability to sleep the last couple days | This is my second time treating BV in the past few months. The first time I used the 500mg pill form - an absolute nightmare. I told my doctor so she gave me the gel. A LOT easier to use. I inserted the gel before bed. No crazy side effects like with the pill. I reported those on this site before. I did have the gel come out in the morning, kind of an off-white cloudy gel substance, not a big deal. I usually dont dream at night but found myself dreaming about talking frogs and weird stuff like that. The last couple days I did nothing but toss and turn all night and i work early in the morning so ive been tired. Other than that, it wasnt bad. I would use this again despite the flushed burning skin because it went away within 15 minutes. | F | 22 | 5 days 45mg 1X day | 2/2/2011 | 4 | Horrible itching and odor | Slight headache, some burning, and white discharge. Kinda moody and some back pain. | I was really worried about taking this medication especially after reading this website but the only down side about this medication is that I couldn't drink or have sex for 7 days. I am currently on day two after my last application and so far so good! I just really hope it doesn't come back the minute I have sex again :( | F | 29 | 5 days 30 mg 1X day | 12/20/2010 | 4 | BV | It worked wonders on my odor and discharge. But i'm coming off my period and it appears that im having another Bacterial Infection. not really any discharge but Im smelling the same odor that i always get when Im getting BV. I still have some of the medicine left so what should i do? I actually put some on a Q-tip and rubbed it inside me a bit, should I continue that? Ugh i just hate the smell and i want it GONE!!! | F | 22 | 5 days 5day 1X day | 10/31/2010 |
