Macrobid (nitrofurantoin) is primarily used to treat urinary tract infections and is not typically prescribed for bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is usually treated with antibiotics such as metronidazole or clindamycin. If you suspect you have BV, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.
