I was recently prescribed Metrogel 0.75% Vaginal Gel 70gm for bacterial vaginosis and I have had a mixed experience with it. I've heard many people have positive outcomes, but I've also read about some concerning side effects. I wanted to start a discussion to hear from others who have used this medication. I've had some unpleasant side effects that I didn't expect, and I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are any tips to make the application process easier. For example, I heard the gel can be a little messy, has anyone found any tricks to make it less so? I've also noticed some mild irritation, which is worrying. I've had mostly positive experiences with antibiotics for BV, but I feel unsure about this one. I've been trying to manage the side effects and hoping they go away soon, but I'm a bit scared because of the details on the leaflet. How has your experience been with Metrogel?

I found Metrogel to be really effective for my BV. I had some discomfort and irritation at first, but it went away after a few days. I also heard that some people experience yeast infections after using Metrogel, so be aware of that. I did not have that problem, but I did have an allergic reaction to the medication and ended up with a yeast infection. I'm curious if anyone else had yeast infections or if this is a normal side effect. I'm also wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with the medicine.

I had a really bad reaction to Metrogel. I broke out with a rash and had trouble breathing. I had to go to the ER, but I'm so glad I did because they said that it was a severe allergic reaction. I had never experienced anything like that before. I would recommend anyone who experiences any severe side effects to seek help immediately. I'm curious if others have had similar reactions. I'm also happy to give any tips to keep it less messy to help anyone else who has to use it.

Can someone explain the recommended application process for Metrogel? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I'm doing it right. I've used vaginal suppositories before, but this is a gel, so I'm not sure if the process is similar. Also, I'm worried about the urinary tract side effects mentioned in the leaflet. I've heard the irritation can be bad.

I've used Metrogel before and it worked great for me! No major side effects, but I did have some mild discomfort. Just be patient and follow the instructions carefully.

I felt like Metrogel was a bit messy, and I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. Anything that could help it go more smoothly would be great.

Metrogel saved me! I had really bad BV and this stuff worked wonders. No side effects for me, but I did notice some slight staining on my underwear. Just a heads up!
