"I keep getting reoccurring BV infections. I was prescribed the gel once about a year ago, and to the best of my memory, I don’t remember having major side effects. A couple of months ago, I got BV again. I decided to try the Metronidazole pill (2x/day for 7 days). The pill was very big and hard to swallow. I felt sick while taking it and began throwing up a couple of days into it, so I stopped taking it. Fast forward to present time: I have BV again (probably from stopping the pill). I am using the gel again. I’m only on day 2, so far no major side effects. Last night, I woke up with terrible cramps, but I took 2 Advil and they went away. Before I put it in tonight, I took 2 Advil again as a precaution. So far, so good! I like the gel better."
