"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 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 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."
