| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR METROGEL-VAGINA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | Bacterial Infection | I had some fatigue, some mild cramps every now and again, and then TERRIBLE constipation. I also had the thick, white, rubbery discharge. I was worried at first, but now I see it's normal. No YI, or anything except some mild itching towards the end. | F | 17 | 4 days 0.75% | 6/18/2012 | 3 | Bv | Horrible pelvic cramps,Lots of white clumpy discharge which I could scoop out with a finger TMI sorry, Lower Back pain. Burning vagina, thigh pain. Then a yeast infection :( Got rid of the bv though but the side effects were horrible! | F | 32 | 6 days | 6/9/2012 | 4 | BV | Biggest side effect was the white, clumpy, cottage-cheesy discharge that started the second or third day. It comes out when I'm active (ex. walking around this morning) so I assume it's just the meds and the bacteria coming out in nasty blobs. I took a fluconazole pill when I started and did a 1 day monistat before I was diagnosed with BV so hopefully I avoid a yeast infection, will also start taking probiotics today. | Itching and burning went away by dose 2. Had minor cramping/bloating/gas on and off but honestly that could just be my diet. Worked fine, I just hope the BV doesn't come back. | 20 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 6/6/2012 | 5 | BV | None, really. | I had a horrible gynecologist, which I will NEVER be going back to again. He wrote a prescription for Metronidizole .75% once a day for 5 days. I didn't feel any bad side effects, which I'm glad. | F | 23 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 6/5/2012 | 5 | Bv,discharge,odor,irregular periods | Abdominal pain,dizzyness, whiteish yellow tissue clotts. Very annoying glad that the odor is gone. Scared it might come back. Had a little bit of itching. Just want the clots to go away. Glad im not the only one to be going thru this. Ive vaginal issues since middle school. | F | 19 | 7 days | 6/4/2012 | 4 | Bacterial vaginosis | This isn't my first time using metro gel,the first time was free flow and it worked wonders,sadly second time around i now have a clumpy,white discharge that does itch a little,my question is how soon after my dosage is over will the white clumps disappear and if my bv reappears would using metro gel again for the third time be safe??scrathing my head way too much | F | 20 | 3 days 5 | 5/22/2012 | 5 | BV | Lots of white clumpy discharge , moderate nausea and mild abdominal discomfort and cramping | F | 18 | 6 days 5 grams | 5/15/2012 | 4 | BV | White cottage cheese like clotting | I've been battling BV for 4 years now on and off... I have tried the pill, it made me horribly sick & miserable, the gel I have had no side affects other then the white clumps, at first I freaked out because nothing is listed on the side affects then I started doing research on it. I'm guessing its pretty normal.. Someone should really bring that up to whoever make it though. I love the gel it worked great :) | F | 22 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 5/9/2012 | 4 | Bacterial Infection | Thick white discharge since the first night using it and very bloated. I'm on day 4. One more day to go. Gel definitely worked but just want this clumpy discharge to go away! | F | 35 | 6 days .75% | 5/6/2012 | 4 | Thick cottage cheese like discharge insomnia and tingling throughout my body | Thick cottage cheese like discharge which I figured was from the meds I got that the beginning of day 2... Last nite which was my actual 2nd dosage I had insomnia and tingling throughout my body whic was irritating as heck! But the smell was gone the first day! After reading some of these comments I pray that this doesnt come bk! Its messy and embarrasing. The these side effects are a major downer. I hope this tingling goes away soon also. It always good to know you're not the only person going through a situation! | F | 24 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 4/28/2012 | 1 | Bacterial vaginal infection | I started getting tingling in my fingers after 2nd day. After 4 days my legs from ankles up were feeling numb and tingling all the time. I didn't know this was a side effect until I read about it on line. I have been off the medicine for 2 days and I'm still feeling the tingling in my legs. When will it stop. How can I get all of the med out of my body? I will never take this drug again. | F | 68 | 5 days 7.5 MG 1X day | 4/26/2012 | 5 | I had a fishy smell with discharge | None | F | 37 | 7 days 1mg | 4/22/2012 | 4 | BV | None | I began experiencing a fishy odor that had never been there before. I did some research online and saw that semen and/or glycerin soap could be the cause (both of which I had been exposed to). A new sexual partner may also be the cause. I bought the Vagisil ph kit and my level was 7. Visited the doc who prescribed Metrolgel and Fluconozale simultaneously. The gel was for the BV and the other for a possible yeast infection. Unfortunatly the gel kills all the bacteria putting you at risk of a yeast infection - the Fluconozale takes care of that. I got two doses: one to take at the beginning of treatment and one to take after the five days of Metrogel. I also went out and bought a probiotic from the health food store. They sell the live cultures refrigerated - Renew Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support. It's pricey but I think well worth it (make sure the pro biotic you get is NOT dairy based which may have an adverse reaction). I'm also taking a dose of cranberry tablets and garlic tablets just to boost my immune system a bit. I take veggie based prenatal vitamins as a habit for slight hair loss and I think the folic acid in them has also helped me. I've been on probiotics, cran and garlic for 5 days, vitamins for about a year, and I just had my first dosage of Metro last night. I notice the odor is at least 50% less and I'm hoping all will be over soon. I will use rephresh gel a few days after the gel treatment hopefully just for maintenance and then assess how my body is reacting. | F | 34 | 5 days 5 grams 1X day | 3/31/2012 | 5 | bv | I'm pregnant and was prescribed this every night for 5 nights. The only side effect I had is the white clumpy discharge. Didn't really bother me tho, just put on a pantyliner and last night was my last night. Had some odor before medication so I hope its gone now. | F | 21 | 6 days | 3/27/2012 | 4 | Bv | White tissue like discharge is the only downfall of this drug. It says to do it for 5 days but because I'm pregnant and attack my bv in the beginning stage I choose to do 3 days... Plus I take probiotics | F | 19 | 3 days | 3/21/2012 | 3 | Bv | Clumpy White Discharge I Asume Its The Gel Coming Out. A Slight Itch For A Few Seconds. | Im So Glad I found This Site, I Was Scared To Take The Medicine. | F | 17 | 5 days .075% 1X day | 3/16/2012 | 2 | BV | I have used it befoore with no side effects. This time around is no where near the same. I now am experiencing large amounts of white, clumpy discharge, dark colored stools and a burning sensation ....I no these are all noted side effects to this location...but its kind of freaking me out...I will be contacting my Dr is it continues. | 1 days | 3/14/2012 | 1 | bacterial vagintitis | burning sensation of the throat and tongue. tightness in the throat and stomach pain. | never use this drug the side effects are far worse than any other meds i've taken thus far. stick with the holistic natural approaches when treating bacterial vagintitis and yeast infections. go to earth clinic the remedies there really rocks and works most of the time. i had to go to the er and stayed over night they treated me with steroids,benadryl allergy med,and pain pill. all over a simple bv infection. i am now using a steriod for 6 days(ugh) to reverse the side effects and i washed my vaginal area out with braggs apple cider vinegar and ate 2 probiotic yogurts brand called chobani which has live probiotics in it several good flavors look it up on google. i feel way better after the wash and yogurt treatment. unfortunanetly i now have to deal with the steroid pray for me guys! please do not use either metro gel or the clindimyacin...Thanks! | F | 47 | 1 days 0.75% 1X O | 3/9/2012 | 3 | BV | None; No pain, no nausea, no cramping, no fainting, etc! | I knew that I'd have some kind of discharge because the Dr and the pamplet said to wear a sanitary napkin. This was my first "fight" BV/Yeast Infections. The first time I was given the yeast pill and 7days of the metro-pill. It barely worked so I was given the yeast pill again and the metrogel so it'll be interesting to see if it will work b/c, like others, I have a monogamous sex-life! I was very happy to see that the odor was immediately gone after one day! I just really hope it stays gone and I'm not really confident bc it seems like most people have had reoccuring infections! Before this, I used douches and vaginal smell good washes which I won't be using anymore. However, it's good that I see that others still feel some sort of itching while still on the medication. But I hope it will stop and I hope the discharge won't keep coming after 2-3 days off of it. | F | 28 | 5 days .75 1X day | 3/5/2012 | 4 | poss. BV | back pain, diarrhea, headache | I always assumed that what goes in the vagina must come out. This stuff never came out. It had to be digitally removed. I'm wondering if it has to do with being post menopausal. If thats the case, then one would also assume that semen doesn't come out anymore either. And if that were the case, then that could be the set up for a potential of BV, right?? | F | 53 | 5 days 1X day | 3/3/2012 |
