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 | 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 | 6/26/2007 | 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 | 1/15/2008 | 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 | 9/1/2008 | 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 | 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 | 4 | bv | Im using the vaginl ovules im on day 2 and so far it seems to be working, the only thing i have noticed is that i am very fatigued and my body is sore, not sure if that is caused from the medicine | F | 33 | 3 days 100mg | 9/20/2012 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | UTI symptoms - Doc thought bv | Immediate intense vaginal burning - over 30 min still burning - called Doc - waiting | F | 60 | 1 days 100 1X day | 5/9/2017 | 1 | The same here burning for 15 minutes still burning not a good feeling | F | 48 | 2 days | 9/15/2017 | 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 | 1 | BV | Burning sensation | F | 19 | 3 days 100 | 8/30/2018 | 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 | Severe burning after insertion. Not sure why this is not listed as a side effect. | F | 42 | 3 days | 3/27/2019 | 1 | BV | After insertion of suppository extreme burning for 5-10 minutes. | F | 56 | 3 days 100MG | 2/25/2020 | 1 | Bv | Extreme burning after inserting into vagina will contact dr | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 9/16/2020 |
