| 1 | Bv | Burning and itching *severe* | I put this little thing in and at first it seems fine but after about 10 seconds it feels like your lower half is on fire | 17 | 3 days 100 | 12/13/2016 | 3 | BV | first day taking it and i experienced some burning that lasted for about 15-20 mins, so far the burning has subsided and i'm fine now. i will update if i have any other symptoms. i'm taking 100mg 1 time a day for 3 days, i literally just took it so i can't tell if my symptoms have subsided! | F | 19 | 3 days 100mg 1X day | 2/8/2021 | 1 | BV | Burning sensation | F | 19 | 3 days 100 | 8/30/2018 | 4 | Bv | I didn't experience any side effects with this cream | It always worked very well for me with the bouts of Bv I would get off and on. But my body eventually became so use to the medicine it stopped working so now I'm trying metrogel for the first time. | F | 21 | 7 days | 8/1/2015 | 3 | BV | bleeding - is it me or the medicine? | this is the second day of taking it...experiencing light vaginal bleeding, some nausea, and lightheadedness. the symptoms arent as bad | F | 21 | 7 days 40 g 2% 1X day | 7/15/2011 | 2 | BV | This is only day one and just after minutes of injecting cleocin I felt intense burning and maybe 15 minutes later aches in my stomach. I really hope its all worth it. | F | 21 | 1 days | 12/19/2014 | 2 | BV | Intense vaginal burning and intching. Lots of leakage. If returns I will be asking for something else, not worth taking this medicine!!!!! | F | 21 | 3 days 100 | 10/22/2018 | 1 | BV | Vaginal burning, stomach pains, more frequent stool and urinating | I do not recommend. | F | 21 | 3 days 100 1X day | 9/30/2020 | 1 | BV Infection | HORRIBLE! Stay away from this drug!! My gyno prescribed this for a BV infection that I had. The drug works well but too well. Because the dosage was too high and too long to the point, it wiped out some good bacteria in my lower GI, this caused me to have a different infection called C. Diff. Be very cautious when taking this drug, this drug can definitely cause other infections even if it cures the one you currently have. | C. Diff is a nasty infection. It causes constant diarrhea and is very hard to rid of. It is also CONTAGIOUS! So if you do take Clindamycin, ensure that you do your best to prevent contracting any other infections from it. Eat lots of yogurt with it! | F | 22 | 7 days 300 2X day | 7/15/2014 | 1 | BV | First start using the medication and I'm experiencing severe vaginal itching and burning.not a good sign. But I do hope the medicine works and don't cause harm to my body | Will ask my doctor never to prescribe me such medication again | F | 23 | 3 days 100 | 12/26/2014 | 2 | BV | Extreme burning, felt like my vagina was on fire from the inside out. Lasted like 40 minutes | F | 24 | 1 days 1X day | 7/28/2021 | 4 | Bv | Some burning first night, headache, pain, diaherria a little | I took mine for a little bit of a longer course of 9 days. Reason for this is because I have had persistent bv for the last year. I've tried oral clindamycin, Flagyl, metrogel, clindamycin cream, etc. Mine still comes back. I took this little over a week my symptoms for now have seemed to improve but I'll see | F | 26 | 9 days 100 1X day | 7/1/2023 | 4 | Bv | Some burning first night, headache, pain, diaherria a little | I took mine for a little bit of a longer course of 9 days. Reason for this is because I have had persistent bv for the last year. I've tried oral clindamycin, Flagyl, metrogel, clindamycin cream, etc. Mine still comes back. I took this little over a week my symptoms for now have seemed to improve but I'll see | F | 26 | 9 days 100 1X day | 7/1/2023 | 1 | Bv | Extreme burning after inserting into vagina will contact dr | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 9/16/2020 | 5 | BV | no side effects | This medication worked perfectly to clear up my BV. The only complaint I would have is about the leakage the day after. I did insert the meds right before bed but the next day I still had to wear a pad to prevent the leakage from getting on to my clothes. I wouldn't really say that it is a complaint about that because I understand it and the medication did it's job! It's also very easy to take. | F | 30 | 7 days 1X day | 5/19/2021 | 4 | BV | I've taken this medicine before and didn't get the burn. Other times I got the burn like today. I would say from My experience the burn isn't usually consistent and it's not thaaat bad. For me it's worth it cause metrogel Doesn't work for me and is much messier. | Cleocin melts right away once inserted. The discharge is no where near as messy as metro gel. And super easy to easy and effective. The burning is odd but not enough to turn me away | F | 30 | 0 months 100 2X W | 3/11/2022 | 1 | This is my first day taking this medicine right away it starts burning really bad I can't wait to call my doctor on Monday for the burning hopefully I can get something different | F | 30 | 1 days | 10/15/2017 | 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 | 4/30/2007 | 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 1X day | 8/4/2012 | 1 | GBS+ | BURNING. Omg it burns. Cannot do this again. | Whyyyyy would you not tell people this is a side effect??? | F | 32 | 3 days ? 1X day | 11/6/2020 |
