Hello, I was prescribed clindavag for a slight bacterial vaginosis and additionally, just in case, oral metronidazole 3x1 (250 mg). I thought I was supposed to take one pill every day for 3 days, but judging by the package with 20 pills and the leaflet, I think I misunderstood something. Should I take metronidazole 3x1 for a week? Thank you in advance for your answer

Dosing 3 times a day with 1 tablet is prescribed for some bacterial vaginal infections. The duration of the treatment is usually 5-7 days. Treatment should also be undertaken by the partner if there is a risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infection. If you are not sure how to take the drug, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist. During the treatment with metronidazole (and up to 48 hours after its completion) it is forbidden to consume alcoholic beverages.

In case of any doubts, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation with a gynaecologist - the service is available on our website in the e-visit tab:
