MetroGel Vaginal Gel is a prescription medication that contains metronidazole as its active ingredient.

It is inserted into the vagina and is used to treat bacterial vaginosis, commonly called BV.

What Is MetroGel Vaginal Gel Used For?

MetroGel Vaginal Gel is used to treat bacterial vaginosis in women.

Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina changes and certain bacteria grow more than usual.

Symptoms may include unusual vaginal discharge, a noticeable odor, or irritation, although some people may have few or no symptoms.

How Does MetroGel Vaginal Gel Work?

MetroGel Vaginal Gel belongs to a class of medications called nitroimidazole antimicrobials.

Metronidazole works against susceptible bacteria by interfering with their DNA and other important cellular processes.

This prevents the bacteria from functioning and reproducing normally, helping the infection clear.

Is MetroGel Vaginal Gel an Antibiotic?

Yes. Metronidazole is an antimicrobial medication with activity against certain bacteria, particularly anaerobic bacteria involved in bacterial vaginosis.

Because it targets specific organisms, MetroGel Vaginal Gel should only be used for infections that your healthcare provider determines are appropriate for metronidazole treatment.

Does MetroGel Vaginal Gel Treat Yeast Infections?

No. MetroGel Vaginal Gel is not an antifungal medication and does not treat vaginal yeast infections.

Yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis can cause some similar symptoms, but they require different treatments.

If you are unsure what is causing your symptoms, your healthcare provider can determine the appropriate treatment.

Does MetroGel Vaginal Gel Cure Bacterial Vaginosis?

MetroGel Vaginal Gel can successfully treat an episode of bacterial vaginosis, but BV can return after treatment.

Use the medication for the full prescribed course, even if your symptoms improve before treatment is finished.

If symptoms continue or return after treatment, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

MetroGel Vaginal is a vaginal gel that should be used exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

The dosing schedule depends on the specific metronidazole vaginal product you are using.

For some products, a single dose is inserted at bedtime. Other regimens may require one dose daily for 5 days or another schedule prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Follow the instructions on your prescription label carefully and do not use more gel, use it more often, or continue treatment longer than directed.

How to Apply MetroGel Vaginal Gel

Follow these general steps when using the vaginal gel:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the medication.
  2. Prepare the applicator according to the instructions provided with your product.
  3. Fill the applicator with the prescribed amount of MetroGel Vaginal Gel if it is not prefilled.
  4. Lie on your back with your knees bent and slightly apart, or use another comfortable position recommended in the product instructions.
  5. Gently insert the applicator into the vagina as far as is comfortable.
  6. Press the plunger to release the gel.
  7. Remove the applicator carefully after the dose has been administered.
  8. Dispose of or clean the applicator according to the instructions supplied with your specific product.
  9. Wash your hands again after completing the application.

When Should MetroGel Vaginal Gel Be Used?

MetroGel Vaginal Gel is commonly used at bedtime.

Using it before going to bed may help keep the medication in place and reduce leakage after application.

Try to use each dose at approximately the same time when following a multi-day treatment schedule.

Dosing Schedules

The exact dosing schedule depends on the specific formulation prescribed.

Some metronidazole vaginal products are given as a single dose at bedtime, while others may be used once daily for several consecutive days.

Follow the dosing instructions for your specific product rather than switching between regimens on your own.

Complete the Full Course of Treatment

If your prescription requires several days of treatment, continue using MetroGel Vaginal Gel for the full prescribed course even if your symptoms improve sooner.

Stopping treatment early may prevent the infection from being fully treated and may allow symptoms to return.

Do Not Use More Than Prescribed

Using additional MetroGel Vaginal Gel will not make bacterial vaginosis clear faster.

Do not increase the amount, frequency, or duration of treatment unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.

Applicator Care

Some MetroGel Vaginal Gel products include disposable applicators, while others may provide different instructions for applicator use.

Do not automatically wash and reuse an applicator unless the product instructions specifically say it is reusable.

Always follow the directions supplied with your particular prescription.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a scheduled dose of MetroGel Vaginal Gel, use it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular treatment schedule.

Do not use two doses at the same time or apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose.

If you miss more than one dose or are unsure how to continue the treatment course, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.

MetroGel Vaginal Gel contains metronidazole and should be used exactly as prescribed.

Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider about your allergies, medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and all medications or vaginal products you use.

Serious Allergic Reactions

Do not use MetroGel Vaginal Gel if you are allergic to metronidazole, other nitroimidazole medications, or any ingredient in the product.

Seek immediate medical attention if you develop:

  • Hives
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
  • Difficulty breathing
  • A severe skin reaction

Neurological Symptoms

Metronidazole should be used carefully in people with central nervous system or seizure disorders.

Contact your healthcare provider promptly if you develop unusual numbness, tingling, weakness, problems with coordination, seizures, or other new neurological symptoms.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant before using MetroGel Vaginal Gel.

Your healthcare provider will determine whether metronidazole vaginal treatment is appropriate based on the stage of pregnancy, the severity of the infection, and the expected benefits and risks.

Breastfeeding

Metronidazole can pass into breast milk after systemic use.

Because vaginal treatment generally produces lower blood levels than oral metronidazole, exposure may also be lower. Talk to your healthcare provider before breastfeeding during treatment so they can advise you based on your specific product and treatment course.

Blood Disorders

Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of blood disorders or abnormal blood cell counts.

Metronidazole should be used with caution in these patients, particularly if repeated or prolonged treatment is needed.

Liver Disease

Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease.

The liver helps process metronidazole, so significant liver problems may affect how the medication is handled by the body.

Your healthcare provider may determine whether additional monitoring or a change in treatment is needed.

Avoid Eye Contact

MetroGel Vaginal Gel is intended for vaginal use only.

Avoid getting the gel in your eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse your eyes thoroughly with water.

Other Vaginal Products

Talk to your healthcare provider before using other vaginal medications, creams, gels, douches, or similar products during treatment.

Using additional products at the same time may cause irritation or interfere with your treatment.

Condoms and Diaphragms

Some vaginal products can affect latex or rubber contraceptive devices.

Check the instructions provided with your specific MetroGel Vaginal Gel product and ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist whether condoms or diaphragms can be used reliably during treatment.

Alcohol

Follow the alcohol precautions provided with your specific metronidazole vaginal product.

Because some metronidazole products carry warnings about alcohol-related reactions, your healthcare provider or pharmacist may recommend avoiding alcohol during treatment and for a period after the final dose.

Possible symptoms of an alcohol-related reaction can include flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort.

Drug Interactions

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.

Even though less metronidazole is generally absorbed from vaginal gel than from oral forms, interactions may still be possible.

Use MetroGel Vaginal Gel Only as Directed

Do not use more MetroGel Vaginal Gel, apply it more often, or continue treatment longer than prescribed.

If symptoms do not improve, become worse, or return after treatment, contact your healthcare provider rather than extending the treatment on your own.

How Quickly Does MetroGel Vaginal Gel Start to Work?

Some people may begin to notice improvement in bacterial vaginosis symptoms within about 3 days of starting MetroGel Vaginal Gel. However, symptom improvement does not necessarily mean the infection has been completely treated. Continue using MetroGel Vaginal Gel for the full prescribed course, even if you start to feel better before treatment is finished.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose of MetroGel Vaginal Gel?

If you miss a dose of MetroGel Vaginal Gel, use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular treatment schedule. Do not use two doses at the same time or apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose. If you miss more than one dose or are unsure how to continue treatment, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Can I Use Other Vaginal Medications With MetroGel Vaginal Gel?

Talk to your healthcare provider before using other vaginal medications or products during treatment with MetroGel Vaginal Gel. This includes vaginal creams, gels, suppositories, douches, or other treatments. Using other vaginal products at the same time may cause irritation or interfere with treatment.

How Should MetroGel Vaginal Gel Be Stored?

Store MetroGel Vaginal Gel at room temperature and keep it away from excessive heat and direct light. Keep the medication in its original packaging and follow any additional storage instructions provided on the prescription label. Keep MetroGel Vaginal Gel out of the reach of children and pets.
