Metronidazole gel over the counter
Common Questions and Answers about Metronidazole gel over the counter
metrogel
My Doctors just told me to take Monistat 3 or 5 over the counter instead of Diflucan. Just because it works faster. I didn't have any issues from it as far as I know. I've had a very difficult pregnancy too (like bleeding throughout, early contractions, etc.) & they still said it was safe for me. I hope this helps.
If u don't know ur pregnant yet can u still metronidazole nd does it harm the baby
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the obvious problem with using the Metrogel and the tampons is that the tampons will soak up the gel. Since you are at the tail end of your therapy anyway, you could probably get away with using the gel at night before bed and the gel during the day although it is not ideal, it is probably good enough.
I think that I may have a bacterial or yeast infection. I took 2 over the counter vaginial screening kits and i also i feel a bit discomfort and my discharge is maybe a pale white..sort of watery and thick..It stated I had a bacterial infection. I believe I had it for some time now but never went to the doctor..but im planning on going soon as possible. I Just want to know what can I do to help with the discomfort or even to clear up in the meantime? I dont really smell anything..
Hello,
Vaginal discharge is a side effect of metronidazole gel which is present in 12% of the patients. If the discharge persists or there is any vulvar irritation or itching then you should get it evaluated from your gynecologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
A bit more detail if needed - doctor told me I had BV and prescribed the Metronidazole gel for 5 days. I finished using the gel on Sunday Oct 2. My symptoms seemed to be going away. However, starting yesterday morning, I have been experiencing some itching as well as thick, cottage-cheese like discharge. I understand it is common to develop a yeast infection after metronidazole.
for 3 weeks i dont feel getting any better after i tried levofloxacin , applying Methylprednisolone aceponate gel , metronidazole, antifungal (containing nystatin , neomycin sulfate, triamcinolone acetonide) gel. my sack looks very loose.
Volini gel is available on chemist outlets. It is an over the counter gel. It's also available in spray format.
I've used it & have found it to be very effective on pain.
s true that some meds will enter your bloodstream through the vaginal skin and become a systemic antibiotic. (The clindamycin gel could do just that; ask your doc.) I was just surprised you were so frightened of metronidazole because I've taken it and have never had a side effect.
Anyway, the new approach must be good or the doctor wouldn't have provided it.. Probably overall, the advice is that you should try to get over your fear of medication.
How soon after using metronidazole vaginal gel (0.75%) for bacterial vaginosis can you consume alcoholic beverages? On the box it says do not drink alcoholic beverages when taking this medicine. I only used it twice, and experienced bad side effects so I do not plan on using it anymore. Today (April 22), was the last time I used it. Will I be able to drink alcohol on Saturday, April 25? Thank you.
The dose for a large lab would be 500 to 750mg twice per day tor 7 days (Do not overdose). If you have not given the correct dose or metronidazole than another course of metronidazole may help.
There could be gastrointestinal parasites not covered by the metronidazole, of course, and it would be best to have your dog's stool checked.
The pharmacy here in Sweden sells it over the counter, so it should be over the counter everywhere (virtually EVERYthing needs a prescription here, and if Voltaren Gel doesn't, then it should be available everywhere).
Google Voltaren Gel and see if you can find it at an online pharmacy, if you can't find it near you.
You might even try MSM powder, dissolved in oil or aloe vera gel, and massaged in. Jarrow has a good quality product (many are not good - especially those from China).
My OB/GYN did a swab in May that confirmed the BV. I have recently begun Metronidazole Gel 0.75%, qd x 5. I have been reading a lot of forums, and from what it looks like, none of these treatments are very effective. I am starting to really worry that this is going to plague me for the rest of my life. I have asked these questions, but no one can seem to give me a straight answer. I have never had an STD before, although I had a shaky past, and have had a lot of sexual partners in my life.
I'm on the final day of taking metronidazole gel and I've noticed bloody clumpy discharge. Is this a sign the infection is going away or should I be concerned cause I'm on Depo-provera so I don't have my period.
An over the counter medication is any medication that can be purchased without a prescription "over the counter", but does not make the medication safer and needs to be taken according to the directions on the package and there is a need to be more vigilent and take into consideration individual health, the benefits versus the risks and potential interactions with any prescribed meidcations.
