I recently was told that I have BV and that I need to take Flagystatin. My GP, who is also my GYN, told me all about this drug and how it works. So did the pharmacist. They both said that it is an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal cream or ovule that is inserted vaginally every night for at least 10 days. It doesn't kill the good bacteria off but if you are concerned about that there are is one way to help keep the levels of good bacteria up and its by eating yogurts with live cultures in them. My pharmacist says that Activia is good for that. I have been taking Flagystatin for 8 days now and to tell you the truth I think its working. And the trick ladies is to abstain from sex until it has cleared up and you are finished the medication. My GP also recommended that if I was married or with my partner to break off a tiny piece of the tip of the ovule and massage it into the urethera (that is spelled wrong, but the male's hole) because the bacteria can hide there and reinfect a woman with no symptoms in the man. I haven't had sex in the last 8 days and I feel the difference and smell the difference already. Remember to keep taking the meds until the end of your prescribed length of time, and when using it on your period, don't use tampons with it as I have been told that it can cause an increased risk of developing toxic shock syndrome(TSS).
