Zidoval Vaginal Gel is a targeted treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), designed to alleviate the symptoms and address the root cause of the infection.

Once approved by one of our licensed pharmacists, your gel medication will be delivered straight to your door.

What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?

Bacterial Vaginosis is a common condition that can cause discomfort and pain for many women. It’s caused by an imbalance in the vagina’s natural bacteria levels. If left untreated, BV can lead to further complications such as Sexually transmitted diseases (STIs).

How Does Zidoval (Metronidazole) Gel Work?

Zidoval Gel contains the active ingredient metronidazole, a powerful antibiotic that directly targets the bacteria causing BV. By applying the gel inside the vagina, it delivers the medication precisely where it is needed, effectively treating the infection and helping to prevent its recurrence.

Who Can Use Zidoval Vaginal Gel?

Zidoval Vaginal Gel is suitable for most women seeking an effective treatment for BV. However, you should not use this gel if you:

Are allergic to metronidazole or any of the gel’s ingredients
Have a known allergy to similar nitroimidazole antibacterials or parabens.

Additionally, before using this medication, please consult your doctor or a pharmacist if you:

Have had blood disorders or diseases affecting the blood.
Suspect you may have vaginal thrush
Are currently having your period
Are due for any blood tests

How To Use Zidoval Vaginal Gel

The recommended dose is one applicator filled with 5g of Zidoval gel inserted into the vagina once daily at bedtime for five consecutive days. You should continue your treatment for the prescribed duration. To use this gel, follow these instructions carefully:

Before each application, wash your hands thoroughly. Use a fresh applicator for each dose, discarding each after a single use.
Attach a disposable applicator to the tube and fill it by gently squeezing it.
Lie on your back with knees bent, and insert the applicator into your vagina as far as comfortable.
Press the plunger slowly to release the gel, then safely remove and dispose of the applicator.

If you forget a dose, apply it at the next bedtime. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

Yes, Zidoval Gel is designed to treat and cure Bacterial Vaginosis. You need to complete the entire course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully treated, preventing it from returning.

Zidoval Vaginal Gel is a prescription-only product in the UK, so it can’t be bought over the counter. However, you can buy this gel online from our Bacterial Vaginosis treatment clinic after a consultation with one of our UK-registered pharmacists.

You should wait until you have finished your period before starting this treatment, as using the gel during menstruation could reduce its effectiveness and comfort.

Alcohol can interact with the gel’s active ingredient, metronidazole, leading to side effects such as nausea, vomiting and a rapid heartbeat. It’s best to avoid alcohol until at least 48 hours after completing the treatment.

Yes, products like Canesbalance Bacterial Vaginosis Vaginal Gel and Balance Active Vaginal Gel are other effective treatments for BV. Canesbalance provides a triple-action formula that treats unpleasant odour and abnormal discharge. Similarly, Balance Active Vaginal Gel restores and maintains the natural pH balance of the vagina to prevent and treat BV effectively. Both are available to buy online at our BV treatment clinic.

The timeframe for seeing results with Zidoval Gel can vary, but many individuals begin to notice improvement within a few days of starting treatment. It’s important to complete the prescribed course to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

It is generally safe to swim while using Zidoval Gel. However, applying the gel after swimming is best to ensure the medication remains in place and works effectively.

Metronidazole gel does not interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills. You can continue to use your birth control pills as usual while treating BV with Zidoval Gel.

  After refusal of doctors appointment same old same old ring back etc.
I was invited at 5.25 to see doctor I drove over immediately.
Everything fully explained and checked over I was leaving by 6pm with penicillin for strep throat. Had I followed my doctors receptionist I would probably have suffered longer and increased the chances of a worse infection.I
Great efficient service.
