Can I use trimethoprim to treat bacterial vaginosis?

Hello, Jane! How are you?

Yes, as long as your doctor has prescribed, but if not, it would be best to use what they recommend, as it can vary depending on the specific type of bacteria.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I think I have a bacterial vaginosis infection that's causing itching, burning and a light green/yellow discharge. Will the clindamycin antibiotic work?

Why is sporasec used to treat bacterial vaginosis when it is an antifungal? I thought vaginosis was caused by bacteria and not fungi. Does sporasec have an active ingredient that is antibacterial?
