A non-flowing composition and method for treatment of bacterial vaginosis are disclosed. An afflicted vagina is treated with a therapeutically effective but relatively low dose of metronidazole in a composition that includes a buffer system maintaining the composition at a pH value in the range of about 3.75 to about 4.25. The composition can also be used for prophylactic purposes.

A composition and method for treatment of bacterial vaginosis and/or trichomoniasis are disclosed. An afflicted vagina is treated with a therapeutically effective amount of a buffered metronidazole composition having a pH in the range of about 3 to about 4.25, preferably about 3.75 to about 4.25. A preferred such composition comprises metronidazole, a gelled hydrophobic and water-dispersible polymer, such as a polyacrylic acid polymer having a molecular weight in the range of about 1,250,000 to ...

Topical aqueous single-phase compositions containing metronidazole are disclosed. The compositions have improved specific activity and are substantially non-comedogenic, non-irritating and non-skin-drying. These aqueous topical compositions are particularly useful for treating rosacea and other acneform dermatological conditions, and certain forms of dermatitis.
