Indications
Metrogel Vaginal is a medication used to treat certain types of bacterial infections in the vagina. It contains the antibiotic metronidazole, which works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
The most cost-effective treatment for bacterial vaginosis is generic metronidazole, and Metrogel Vaginal may be used in cases where it is reasonable to do so despite its higher cost.
Metronidazole vaginal gel is not effective against yeast infections or viral infections.
Use and Dosage
