A five-day course of Metronidazole is effective in 85% of the cases.

Tinidazole 2gms orally once daily as a single dose.

Ampicillin or Cephalosporin is also effective against these organisms.

Tetracycline, Doxycycline or sulfafurazole are alternate antibiotics but they need to be taken for a longer period.

Upon entering the Menopause stage, I found myself with reoccuring Bacterial Vaginosis. I took antibotics for over a years off and on and it still came back. Then I remembered that years ago a doctor recommended Betidine douche for a bacterial infection. I HIGHLY recommend you try it.
