    I had no problem with this medication. I was surprised it wasn’t painful or I had no burning sensation. I’ve used OTC for yeast infections before and it was so painful it felt like something was eating my insides. With this medication I was skeptical but it was so gentle no pain or burning. I would definitely recommend this medication. Like the other reviews I did had some discharge.

    I was prescribed this as a stronger method to clear up bv after testing positive results, the treatment is 5 nights inserting gel into vagina with the provided inserts, easy to use and follow instructions, Iâ??ve had some deep abdominal pain but I suspect this may not be linked to the treatment, however bad smell disappears after first treatment. I have had thick clumpy discharge whilst runni ... Show Full Comment

    Prescribed for bacterial vaginitis. I was skeptical after reading reviews and am very sensitive to most medications. I had no side effects but not sure yet if it got rid of the infection. Just happy I had no side effects as I had terrible side effect from Flagyl pill and had to stop it.

    I was really nervous to use the medication because of all the other reviews on it. But now I am very glad I did use it. I had some slight cramping and the white chunky discharge after but that's it. It took away the smell on the first day. And all my other symptoms cleared up by the time I was finished the 5 days. I am so so so thankful for this medication. The pills did nothing but make me si ... Show Full Comment

    Okay so it worked fine. However, on the last night I made the mistake of having sex and thank goodness it was someone I have been with for years because the white discharge that came out was chunky and smelly and it was a lot. I was very grossed out. After reading these comments I see that it is normal.
