Please check with your preferred pharmacy for exact pricing. Please note that at this time, we do not submit claims to insurance for the medical consult fee.

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

    While metronidazole and clindamycin are generally considered safe medications, they may not be a good fit for certain individuals.

You should avoid drinking alcohol while using Metronidazole.
