| 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 | 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 | 1 | Bv | Extreme burning after inserting into vagina will contact dr | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 9/16/2020 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | The same here burning for 15 minutes still burning not a good feeling | F | 48 | 2 days | 9/15/2017 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
