 1  BV Absolutely hated this medicine. Took an ovule the first night and had extreme burning and thought my vagina was on fire for about 45 minutes. Next day terrible stomach cramps, diahrea and constant trips to pee. Felt like I had a UTI. Dr said to stop using immediately. Why did she give me this medication? After reading the views I'm so annoyed. When will the symptoms go away? Second night and still feel like poop. I did not take any more of this medication after the first nite. Why did the FDA even approve this medication? Please be wary of the medication. It seems like the incidence of side affects is not rare. I will be calling my dr again tomorrow to discuss and ask for a test for a UTI. I feel terrible. 53 3 days

 5  BV Only a slight "burn"¯ for a minute or two andt's no big deal at all. This medicine treats the issue at the source instead of an antibiotic throughout your whole body in a pill form. It clears up BV with the 3 bedtime inserts and is the fastest working one on the market! Worth the little bit of irritation 100%! F 40 3 days
100mg 1X day

 3  Bv Fatigue, vaginal itching, diarrhea, stomach cramps, back pain headache and leakage. I had worse symptoms with metrogel so we went this route instead. I have Ulcerative Colitis and all antibiotics affect my stomach similarly. The vaginal itching is what is bothering me the most at this time. Not sure whether or not I would use Clindamyacin cream again. Just being honest here. F 38 3 days

 1  BV intense burning...constant milky white discharge....resulted in vulvadynia (a chronic pain condition) I would be very wary of this medication....it has caused terrible damage and I know from others who suffer from vulvadynia that I am not alone in this experience F 38 3 days

 1  BV Neverending white discharge- think it is a terrible yeast infection. Dr. visit tomorrow. Horrible to take if prone to yeast infections- I took the Clindesse brand, but did not find a separate post for that here F 36 1 days

 4  Cervicitis I'm not really sure since I'm also taking diflucan with it. It could possiblby be causing some nausea. Otherwise no other side effects to note. I have not yet fully completed my treatment. So far it appears to be working. Like I said above my Dr. prescribed diflucan to be taken along with it since this drug can cause yeast infections as well. I will be taking the full 7 days, then terazole and then another 7 days of the cleocin. F 33 7 days

 3  BV Nausea, vaginal discomfort, vaginal discharge, Took Cleocin after Flagyl failed to help with BV. My doctor recommended taking Floranex (probiotic) while taking Cleocin to help balance PH. Two weeks later, still experiencing some stomach upset and burning sensation in vagina. Hate this. F 32 3 days

 2  BV took cleocin vaginal ovules for 3 days. side effects: intense itching after application; much leakage of medicine; loose stools. then, after all of that, i'm headed back to the doctor because my vaginal tract itches much worse than before; think it might have caused yeast (it targets all bacteria, good & bad, unlike metronidazole--but that's an even scarier medicine for women!) F 31 3 days
