FAQ

  • Can you drink when using Zidoval vaginal gel?

    When used in gel form, the effect isn’t as likely to be as intense compared to oral Metronidazole. However, there can still be side effects with Zidoval gel, so it’s worth avoiding alcohol while using this treatment and for 24 hours after finishing.

  • How long does it take for Zidoval gel to work?

    Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis should clear up after five days of using Zidoval gel. If you are still experiencing symptoms after finishing the course, you should get in contact with us again to discuss other options.

  • When should I apply Zidoval gel?

    It is best to apply Zidoval gel before bedtime, as this is when movement is minimal, which gives the treatment time to work for bacterial vaginosis.

  • Can I still use a tampon when using Zidoval gel?

    No – if you begin your period while using this medication, it is best to use external sanitary products such as sanitary pads or absorbent underwear.
