The information provided here is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You should not rely upon the content provided here for specific medical advice. If you have any questions or concerns, please share your symptoms and health history and receive personalized care.

Treatment options

Metronidazole (Generic Flagyl®)

Metronidazole is an antibiotic medication that is used to treat bacterial vaginosis. It is available as an oral tablet and a topical medication. Metronidazole works by killing the bacteria that causes bacterial vaginosis, effectively preventing its growth and treating the infection.

Fluconazole (Generic Diflucan®)

Fluconazole is used to treat fungal and yeast infections. Fluconazole works by killing the fungus or yeast that causes an infection, effectively preventing its growth and treating the infection.

Clindamycin Cream

Clindamycin cream is a topical antibiotic medication that is used to treat bacterial vaginosis. Clindamycin cream works by stopping or slowing the bacteria that causes bacterial vaginosis, effectively preventing its growth and treating the infection.

  • Who can use vaginitis treatment from Nurx?

    We are able to offer vaginitis treatment to patients who are diagnosed with a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis by a Nurx medical provider. If you believe you may have vaginitis, request treatment by completing a health evaluation.

    While metronidazole, clindamycin, and fluconazole 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, fluconazole or other antibiotic or antifungal medications in the past, or have heart disease, kidney, or liver problems.

    Additionally, we do not recommend or prescribe Fluconazole to those who are currently pregnant. If you are experiencing a yeast infection during pregnancy, we recommend over-the-counter products to help treat and alleviate symptoms.

  • What's the difference between bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections?

    Bacterial vaginosis is a bacterial infection that is treated with antibiotics. It can cause symptoms including thin gray, green, or white vaginal discharge; a strong unusual odor (especially after sex or menstruation); and burning during urination.

    A yeast infection is a fungal infection that is treated with antifungal medication. It can cause symptoms including thick, white vaginal discharge; itching, irritation, and soreness of the vulva; pain or discomfort during sex or urination; and redness and swelling of the vulva.
