Can clotrimazole vaginal cream treat bacterial vaginosis?

No, clotrimazole is an antifungal medication.

BV is caused by bacteria and can only be treated and cured with antibiotics like metronidazole or clindamycin.

Take care!

no, you need an antibiotic.

No - clotrimazole is for fungal/yeast infections such as thrush, and will have no affect on bacterial vaginosis whatsoever. That needs to be treated with antibiotics. Which might, in turn, lead to a yeast infection (antibiotics are one of the main causes of yeast infections) - at which point the clotrimazole might prove useful!

No, you need an antibiotics such as Flagyl or your doctor can prescribe metro gel.
