Re: BV, metronidazole allergy, no insuranceFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comSun Mar 17 13:59:19 2002

We have limited access to Cleocin vaginal samples. There's no patient assistance program for Cleocin. We are actively looking for opportunities for lifestyle changes that might reduce the incidence. I would appreciate any ideas. >> No one has been able to identify the actual etiology of BV enough to dictate a preferred lifestyle that would prevent BV. ORAL clindamycin would be okay... also, some of the other anaerobically active drugs (depending upon what's available to you) would work, but they're usually associated with more morbidity. Joe P. P.S. And is this SYMPTOMATIC BV, or BV that's identified by the doctor/lab only? If it's not symptomatic, then don't treat "BV of the mind" forever....

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
