Dr. Sheng Mei
Metronidazole vaginal suppositories exert antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing effects in the vagina. As a topical medication, metronidazole suppositories are commonly used in gynecology and are highly effective in treating trichomonas vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis. They effectively combat anaerobic bacterial infections and eliminate Trichomonas vaginalis, thereby achieving therapeutic outcomes.
