Doc prescribed bactroban cream for bacterial vaginosis?
I am on my second round of having bv in a little over a month.. my doc has now prescribed bactroban cream, she said to put it up inside me and on the outside.. well I cant find anywhere on the internet where you are suppose to use this cream like that.. so I called my pharmacist and he said he HAS NEVER heard of that. Has anybody else used this cream for bacterial vaginosis?

Bactroban is for external use only and like your pharmacist I have never heard of a Dr ever saying to use it like that. I think it might be an idea to talk to another Dr in the practise, tell new Dr what the original one told you to do but state that you don’t believe it to be right and hope for better treatment. If not pop into a sexual health clinic…they will definitely know how to treat you.
Bacterial Vaginosis is usually treated with Metronidazole, if this is what you had then ask for another course but to be combined with Metronidazole Vaginal Gel to attack it from 2 positions.
