    This helped my bv a lot. No more bad smell down there which is great. The affects from the pill though weâ??re horrible. Constantly nauseous, feeling like I was gonna throw up. I was super tired, disoriented, dizzy and bad headaches. I wish I got another pill because the affects were so bad for me. I had to take gravol everyday just to keep me from feeling like my head is spinning.
