Can bactrim be used for bacterial vaginosis?

Answer 1

Bacterial vaginosis is often misdiagnosed at home as a yeast infection and over the counter remedies are often tried before going to a physician. Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotics. Amoxicillin can be used for treating this infection, but it is not a first line treatment and is oftentimes not effective. Physicians usually prescribe Flaygl or Cleocin to treat this infection.

Answer 2

Bactrim is not typically used to treat bacterial vaginosis. The recommended antibiotics for treating bacterial vaginosis usually include metronidazole or clindamycin. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
