Buy Zidoval Vaginal Gel Online in the UK
Zidoval is a colourless gel which contains the active ingredient metronidazole. Metronidazole belongs to a group of medicines called antibacterials. They work by killing many kinds of infection-causing bacteria. Zidoval gel is used to treat bacterial vaginosis which is a bacterial infection of the vagina.
Adults who have a vaginal injection known as bacterial vaginosis, or BV for short, are treated with Zidoval gel, which is applied inside the vagina where it destroys the bacteria at the site of the infection. Bacterial vaginosis must be properly treated and cured in order to prevent the injection from reoccurring. To avoid this, you must take this medication as directed by your doctor for the entire recommended duration.
Zidoval 0.75% Gel should be kept out of reach and sight of children. It should not be stored above 25 degrees Celsius.

How to use Zidoval 0.75% Vaginal Gel 40g for bacterial vaginosis
When using the Zidoval 0.75% Gel, you should make sure to follow the directions given to you by the doctor. Always wash your hands before using the cream. Remove the cap from the tube. Screw one of the disposable plastic applicators where the cap has been removed. Holding the tube from the bottom, squeeze gently and force the cream into the applicator. When the plunger stops moving, the applicator is full.
Lie on your back, firmly grasping the applicator barrel and insert gently into the vagina as far as possible without causing discomfort. Slowly push the plunger until it stops and all the cream has been expelled. Once done, dispose of the applicator, preferably wrapped in paper before disposal. Wash your hands after each application.
If you use more cream than you should, or if you accidentally swallow the cream, please speak to your doctor straight away. If you miss a dose, do not worry. If it is nearly time for the next application, miss the forgotten one. Do not double dose. Make sure to finish the entire prescribed course, even if symptoms start getting better earlier than expected.
