Metrogyl gel contains metronidazole, which is commonly used to treat vaginal infections. However, it is highly important to ensure the gel you have is specifically labeled for vaginal use, rather than topical skin use. Metrogyl P contains povidone-iodine in addition to metronidazole, which is typically meant for skin wounds and may not be suitable for vaginal application. Please quickly consult your pharmacist or doctor to confirm if your Metrogyl gel is the vaginal formulation before applying it.
