For Bacterial Vaginosis "I took Clindesse 14 days ago, and it has made my life a living nightmare! OMG, the side effects have been severe for me. I inserted it in the evening on a Sunday, and by mid 4 pm Monday, I started to feel irritability. Prior to the medicine, I did not have itching or a burning sensation. My vagina felt like it was on fire. I went to the restroom, and I saw the thickest cottage cheese-like discharge. My vulva was swollen as well. I went online to see side effects, and boom, I experienced the majority of them. The attending clinic where I had been treated and diagnosed hasn’t been responsive in scheduling an immediate follow-up. Meanwhile, it’s been 14 days, and the discharge has gone from intense to mild, but it is still present. Because I can’t take over-the-counter meds, I have been holistic to soothe my vulva from the chafing, burning, itching, and swelling. I miss my balanced pH vagina prior to BV."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "My doctor prescribed Clindesse along with Gynazole, advising me to use them alphabetically: 'C' before 'G' because of the expectancy of a yeast infection after using Clindesse. I noticed that this stuff really stayed in and clung over a course of days and comes out, but NO SMELL. My cycle came on about 3 days after the dose, and my blood didn't even have an odor. I use a flex cup, so I can see and smell anything that comes out. Anyway, I feel like this medication has renewed me, and I felt soooooo fresh. Sure enough, a few days after, I started to feel a bit itchy, like a yeast infection is coming on, but no discharge, luckily, I had my trigger shot (Gynazole dose), so I was prepared. There really isn't anything like this. Out of Flagyl, use to be my go-to, but this one dose is amazing."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "This med was prescribed to me 3 months ago for vaginal 'E. coli.' I did not have any symptoms at all of b.v. or 'E. coli' until I used it! I have had extreme issues! A shingles outbreak the days after using it, burning, itching, swelling, oral and vaginal yeast infection. My immune system has been severely low, and I cannot seem to get better. This med ruined my life! I went to the doc feeling normal, but after using Clindesse, I feel like I have AIDS! I was tested last year, and I was negative, so now 3 months later, and my body is all messed up. Worst med I have ever taken!"

For Bacterial Vaginosis "My doctor prescribed Clindesse, and a few days after I used it, I started having vaginal discomfort of burning and itching when I used the bathroom. I have called my doctor's office, and they haven't gotten back to me on what else to use."
