Restore your natural balance fast with Flagyl tablets.

Flagyl is an antibiotic tablet that treats bacterial infections. It’s often used for bacterial vaginosis, but it also treats other infections.
If you have symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, you can order Flagyl online with us. Just tell us about your health and one of our trained clinicians will let you know your options.
Flagyl is a treatment for bacterial vaginosis with the active ingredient metronidazole. It’s an antibiotic, so it’s also an effective treatment against many different bacterial infections that target other areas of your body.
Flagyl destroys the ‘bad’ bacteria causing the infection so allows your own immune system to fight back. For bacterial vaginosis, you’ll usually take it as a tablet.
The metronidazole in Flagyl works by killing off the cells causing the infection. When you have bacterial vaginosis, there’s an overgrowth of ‘bad’ organisms that change the pH of your vagina and cause the strange smells and discharge.
Flagyl enters these bad organisms and breaks down their DNA, destroying them. This limits the bacterial infection and stops it from spreading. Your immune system can then kill off any remaining infection.
For bacterial vaginosis, Flagyl comes as 400mg tablets. The dose you take will depend on the stage of your infection and your own needs. But often the first dose is two tablets, so 800mg. After that, you’ll take one 400mg dose every eight hours.
Only take the amount you’re advised to. If you’re using our service, our clinicians will advise you on your dose. You can always send us a message if you have any questions.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
You should always take Flagyl as our clinician tells you.
Flagyl starts working almost immediately, reaching peak concentration in your blood between 20 minutes and three hours. But it will take time to completely get rid of your bacterial vaginosis. Our clinician will tell you exactly how long you need to take Flagyl for.
Usually, treatment of bacterial vaginosis with Flagyl takes five to seven days. Remember that you need to finish the course even if your symptoms seem to have cleared up. You shouldn’t stop taking Flagyl early, even if you think you’re fine.
If you forget to take Flagyl, take your dose as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, just skip it instead. Don’t take a double dose to make up for missing a dose. You can always set an alarm to remember when you need to eat and take your Flagyl.
If you take too much Flagyl, seek medical attention right away. It helps if you can bring the packaging with you so you can show the clinicians what you’ve taken. If you have any questions about taking Flagyl, you can log into your account and send us a message. Our clinicians will get right back to you.
