Simply Meds Online offers a range of prescription treatments and over-the-counter products specifically formulated to treat Bacterial Vaginosis and help manage and relieve symptoms. BV is a common vaginal condition caused by an imbalance of natural bacteria in the vagina. All items are sent in discreet packaging to the address nominated on your account.    What is Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)? Typically, the vagina maintains a healthy balance of bacteria, which helps regulate pH levels and prevent infections. However, BV can develop when this balance is disrupted, often due to hormonal changes or antibiotic use. This can lead to symptoms like unusual discharge, an unpleasant odour, and discomfort. Effective treatment of BV helps restore this balance, reducing symptoms and supporting overall vaginal health. Other factors that may cause or contribute to Bacterial Vaginosis include:   Intercourse. Please note that BV is NOT an STI. Using scented soaps and products around the vagina. If you use an IUD contraceptive device During or after you have your period   Bacterial Vaginosis Relief and Prevention Our bacterial vaginosis range includes probiotics, gels, and pessaries that target BV symptoms and promote a healthy bacterial environment. Each product is designed for ease of use, allowing women to manage their symptoms from home discreetly and comfortably.   Featured Prescription Medications for Bacterial Vaginosis Support From Simply Meds Online For many, prescription medications are the most effective way to eliminate bacterial vaginosis. The Simply Meds Online pharmacist can authorise a private prescription for these medications, which can be shipped out quickly and discreetly.    These products are some of our most popular for BV support.   1. Dalacin Cream 40g Dalacin Cream is an antibiotic vaginal treatment containing 2% clindamycin phosphate. Dalacin Cream targets bacterial vaginosis by stopping the growth of the infection-causing bacteria. This cream is applied directly to the vaginal area using an applicator, generally for a course of 3 to 7 days. Dalacin helps reduce symptoms associated with BV, such as a strong, unpleasant odour and abnormal discharge.    2. Zidoval 7.5mg Vaginal Gel (Metronidazole) Zidoval Gel contains metronidazole, an antibiotic for treating adult bacterial vaginosis. Applied directly inside the vagina, this gel works by attacking and destroying bacteria at the infection site. Regular, complete application is critical to prevent BV from recurring, as an incomplete course may leave bacteria, leading to resistance or repeated infections. Zidoval may offer relief within a few days, although side effects like a metallic taste or mild itching can occur. Please ensure you complete the course, which is crucial for long-term effectiveness.   3. Metronidazole Tablets 400mg Metronidazole Tablets are the typically prescribed antibiotic for BV. This antibiotic targets the bacteria internally to prevent the spreading of infection. Taken orally, these tablets should be swallowed whole with water, ideally with food, to avoid stomach upset. Metronidazole requires a full course (often 5-7 days) to ensure all bacteria are eradicated, reducing the risk of recurrence or resistance. While many patients find symptom relief within the first couple of days, finishing the full prescription is essential to prevent reinfection. Side effects may include a metallic taste, nausea, and mild digestive discomfort, and alcohol should be strictly avoided during treatment.  Each of these prescription bacterial vaginosis medications works best for long-lasting relief when the full course or recommended dosage is completed. Always read the patient information leaflet.     Take Control of Bacterial Vaginosis with Simply Meds Online Our Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) category includes products designed to promote a balanced vaginal environment, offering effective relief from symptoms while supporting long-term vaginal health.
