1. Request your prescription. Complete an online health consultation to share important information about your symptoms, health history, and any medications you take. If you are an existing Nurx patient, you will log into your account to submit your request.

2. Our medical providers review. A licensed medical provider will review your health information and prescribe an antibiotic for you, if medically appropriate.

3. Pick up at your local pharmacy. Your Nurx medical provider will send the prescription to a local pharmacy of your choice for pickup. You will pay for the medication at the pharmacy, either with insurance or out-of-pocket. If you have any questions about the price of the medication or copay, please contact the pharmacy. You’ll have on-demand access to message your Nurx medical provider with any questions for a full week.

Your online consultation with a Nurx medical provider costs $65, which you pay when you submit your request for care. This is not covered by insurance. The price of your medical consultation covers a medical provider licensed in your state evaluating your symptoms and health history and writing a prescription (if medically appropriate). It also includes one week of unlimited messaging with a medical provider about your bacterial vaginosis symptoms and treatment. One week of unlimited messaging access starts once you submit your treatment request.

If medication is prescribed, your Nurx medical provider will send the prescription to a pharmacy of your choice for pickup. You will pay for the medication at the pharmacy and the price will depend on the pharmacy and whether you pay with insurance or out-of-pocket.

Nurx prescribes metronidazole gel and pills (generic Flagyl®) as well as clindamycin cream for bacterial vaginosis.

We are able to offer bacterial vaginosis treatment to patients who are diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis by a Nurx medical provider. If you believe you may have bacterial vaginosis, request treatment by completing a health evaluation. We prescribe bacterial vaginosis treatment to patients 18 and up.

While metronidazole and clindamycin are generally considered safe medications, they may not be a good fit for certain individuals. Please inform your medical provider if you have had an allergic reaction to metronidazole, clindamycin, or other antibiotic medications in the past, or have heart disease, kidney, or liver problems. You should avoid drinking alcohol while using Metronidazole.
