| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR METROGEL-VAGINA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | I was prescribed the gel because i had had BV a few months ago and was given oral flagyl, and because i was also prescribed an oral antibiotic for a sinus infection at the same time. With the oral flagyl, i was pretty sick through the full course of treatment. this time I experienced the full range of side effects: headache, sore throat, nausea, diarrhea, cramping, gas, bloating, discharge, sinus infection, yeast infection, irritability, depression, and lethargy. Honestly, the cure has been worse than the BV. Who would have thought that a vaginal gel would pack such a wallop? Additionally, the insert says the gel's effectiveness rate is only around 50%--leading me to ask why I went through all of this for what could well be no good reason? If it doesn't clear this time, I don't know what I will do. But I know what I won't do: use any more Flagyl products! If anyone had hit on a course of preventative care for BV, or effective natural cure, please contact me. I am stick experiencing the symptom that sent me to the doctor in the first place. | F | 47 | 6 days 5 day | 10/31/2012 | 2 | BV | White Clumpy Discharge, Cramps like menstrual cramps but they are NOT! | Thank GOD I found this site. I've been taking metrogel and have had the white clumpy discharge and was FREAKING out. I thought to myself, "What the hell is this?" I didn't know if it was working or not, but turns out now I know it is a side effect of this medicine. It is incredibly annoying. I cannot have sex, I cannot NOT wear a pad, feeling so uncomfortable and it looks exactly like the wet toilet paper and ricotta cheese. Ugh. Just awful. | F | 23 | 5 days 1X day | 10/28/2012 | 1 | BV | Everything seemed great at first but after a few days all my symptoms returned with a veangence!!!! | F | 23 | 1 weeks | 9/30/2012 | 4 | BV | Helped after 4th day.Experienced vaginal itching, no appetite, fatigue,nausea. | F | 37 | 6 days | 9/29/2012 | 1 | Bv | Fatigue, bloating, gas some nausea and very uncomfortable. Veet scared it was something worse but this site helped me out my mind at ease will never use this drug ever again. Don't be scared I'm in the same boat. | F | 37 | 3 days | 9/6/2012 | 3 | Gardnerella | Devolped a discharge on my 4th day. Went to the pharmacy and got some over the counter yeast infection cream, Monistat, because i really thought it was a yeast infection (it totally looked like cottage cheese coming out of me). I took it and it burned like crazy. The next day i called the doctor, she confirmed that it is a yeast infection and gave me a prescription for Diflucan (fluconzanole). Took the first last Thursday, the discharge got better witin 2-3 days. Took the second and last on Sunday, no discharge but still a bit uncomfortable especially at night and in the mornings. | Well, the yeast infection is a major side effect. Don't be fooled, it is not the meds coming out; if it looks like cottage cheese (touch and squeeze it, it even has the texture) it is yeast. | F | 51 | .75mg 1X day | 9/3/2012 Patient History | 5 | Bv | Worked well! Had a 5 day dosage and the morning after I had a clumpy reddish brown discharge, I'm 7 weeks pregnant but I think the discharge is clearance of the gel and bacteria. | F | 33 | 4 days 70g | 8/31/2012 | 4 | BV | I had no indications that I had BV, it was noticed in a pap smear. I had really awful gas starting on the first day of treatment and the white clumpy discharge started on the 5th day. There is no mention of the discharge on the box or instructions, so I'm glad to see it is a common side effect. Along with constant gas I have been experiencing fatigue to the point that I am nodding off at my desk after a full nights rest. I took my last dose last night so hopefully it works. I just dont want to be like an old man anymore-gassy and tired! | F | 25 | 6 days | 8/11/2012 | 4 | Trichomonis....which is a bacterial | Weird discharge, cramps, constipation | F | 24 | 6 days 0.75%-1x d | 8/10/2012 | 1 | I have a chronic garnerrella vaginalis. | Whte discharge like wet toilet paper thru urine. | F | 31 | 4 days 40g | 8/4/2012 | 5 | bv | Had no side effects. Im one of those people who reads the inserts the pharmacy gives out.

A second ago o was freeking out because these huge clumps on white discharge was coming out of my vaigina.

I had some irritation and mild burning while urinating. This is no fun to deal with :( | F | 20 | 6 days 0.75% | 7/14/2012 | 4 | BV | White clumpy discharge and cramps. | I've been taking this for 3 days and just now noticing a change in the smell, which is good because I missed the morning dose I was supposed to take. So, I supposed if I was faithfully taking it, the smell would have already been gone but so far so good. A few cramps here and there but nothing major. I have no itching, no nausea, no headaches, but just a little cramping right after I apply. I just hope I dont contract a yeast infection after I'm all finished. | F | 20 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 7/13/2012 | 1 | BV | I've had a lot of thick white discharge, headaches, dizziness, bouts of nausea, and diarhhea. | F | 18 | 6 days 1 x day | 6/27/2012 | 4 | BV | White very clumpy discharge!!
