A lady presented with a creamy white vaginal discharge having fishy odour. What is the drug of choice of this condition?
Correct Answer: Metronidazole
Description: The clinical scenario is of bacterial vaginosis. Oral treatment with metronidazole-paicularly with a 7-day regimen-provides reasonable coverage against both trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis, the usual causes of symptoms of vaginal discharge.
