| 5 | Bav | Day 1 is always a burning and tingling sensation in the area of the vagina. Minor cramping. Day 2... no burning or tingling. Minor cramping. | Cleocin is the only MRR that helps control my chronic BV. | F | 46 | 2 days 100 1X day | 10/10/2020 | 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 | 5 | BV | None | Cleocin ovules are wonderful for BV! Insert nightly laying down for 3 nights and it's gone! No side effects at all for me except a little leakage from the medicine. | F | 40 | 3 days 100mg 1X day | 5/27/2021 | 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 | 2/7/2023 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 3 | Bacterial vaginosis | Severe burning inside. It's like my vagina is on fire!!! | Is it ok to take it with diflucan? | F | 39 | 3 days 100mg 1X day | 3/15/2022 | 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 1X day | 8/20/2021 | 2 | BV | These ovules burn to holy hell and back. I just want to throw my vagina away¸ | It gets rid of BV but i dont think I can handle 3 nights of this. | F | 44 | 3 days 100 1X day | 9/25/2023 | 2 | BV | It leaks out as soon as i insert it and kept coming out not satisfied | F | 45 | 3 days 3X day | 11/4/2023 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
