For Bacterial Vaginosis "I read reviews about Clindesse and was very skeptical. I used it, and the foul odor went away in a matter of hours. I read that it gives you a yeast infection, so I took something to prevent it. Fast forward...Clindesse is a very powerful antibiotic. It literally cleans out all of the old bacteria that metronidazole didn't get. I'm on day 5, and it's still excreting bacteria, but not like in the beginning. I finally feel a sense of relief. Everyone's chemistry is different, so it may work on one woman differently than another. I'd absolutely try it again."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "My doc gave me Clindesse as a last resort to my 6-month vaginal discharge issue. Luckily, she gave me a free sample. I inserted it on Wednesday night, and by Friday afternoon, I had a raging yeast infection! Called the doc back, and she prescribed Diflucan to counteract the Clindesse-induced yeastie. This changed my ongoing symptoms for the worse! Ladies, I sincerely hope this med works for most of you, but for me, it didn't. For being someone who has never had side effects of any meds, this was certainly a first for me."

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 "I was prescribed Clindesse to treat BV. Over the last couple of years, I've been dealing with recurring BV. Up until this prescription, I've always been prescribed Flagyl. Apparently, my body has become immune to it, so my doctor wanted me to try this. It worked to treat the BV. The BV was completely gone in 2 days. However, I am now dealing with one of the WORST yeast infections I've ever had in my life. I've taken 2 doses of Diflucan, and it's not going anywhere. Attempting a Monistat 1-day cream tonight. I will never use this medication again!"

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I’ve never suffered with BV, but after having an IUD and an unfaithful partner, I developed a severe case of BV. After 2 rounds of Clindesse and a dose of Tinidazole, I am much better! I got rid of them both! It didn’t give me a yeast infection, but I loaded up on probiotics instead of my normal Diflucan."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "Easy to use, but gave me a horrendous yeast infection. Would rather have taken Flagyl."
