Is there a prescription for axillary odor similar to bacterial vaginosis that can be treated with Metrogel (metronidazole)?

From the Research

Axillary Odor Treatment

There are no research papers to assist in answering this question as the provided studies focus on the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, not axillary odor.

Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment

• The efficacy of metronidazole in treating bacterial vaginosis has been established in several studies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
• Metronidazole has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, with cure rates ranging from 54.5% to 93.2% 1, 2, 5.
• However, recurrence rates are high, with 15% to 71% of women experiencing recurrence within 1 to 6 months after treatment 1, 2, 3, 4.
• Alternative treatments, such as lactic acid gel and dequalinium chloride, have been studied as potential options for treating bacterial vaginosis, with varying degrees of success 3, 4, 5.
• Dequalinium chloride has been shown to be non-inferior to metronidazole in treating bacterial vaginosis, with a similar cure rate and better tolerability 5.
