Antibiotic Treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis and STIs

Metronidazole is a prescription-only antibiotic used to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV), trichomoniasis, and other bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria and parasites, helping to clear infection and relieve symptoms quickly.

Available in 400mg tablets, Metronidazole is taken as a short course, with or without food, and is usually effective within a few days.

What Is Metronidazole Used For?

Metronidazole is an antibiotic that treats a variety of bacterial and parasitic infections, especially those affecting the vaginal area and genitals.

It is commonly prescribed to treat:

  • The typical dose is 400mg twice daily for 5–7 days (varies by infection type)
  • Always complete the full course, even if symptoms improve early
  • Do not drink alcohol while taking Metronidazole or for 48 hours after the final dose
  • Swallow tablets whole with water — with or without food
