Scientific Evidence

Studies have shown that Metronidazole vaginal gel is effective in treating bacterial vaginosis by restoring the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina. Research published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy demonstrated the efficacy of metronidazole in resolving symptoms and reducing recurrence rates.

Additional Information

It is important to complete the full course of treatment with Metrogyl vaginal gel even if symptoms improve before the end of the treatment period. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any severe side effects or if symptoms persist after treatment.

Metronidazole, the active ingredient in Metrogyl vaginal gel, exerts its pharmacological effects by disrupting the DNA of bacterial cells, leading to their death. This mechanism of action makes it effective against a variety of anaerobic bacteria commonly associated with bacterial vaginosis.

Clinical trials have shown that Metrogyl vaginal gel is comparable in efficacy to oral metronidazole in treating bacterial vaginosis, with the advantage of localized treatment and potentially fewer systemic side effects. This makes it a convenient and effective option for women experiencing recurrent vaginal infections.
