I am not sure what you mean by white-bloody discharge. The cream that was prescribed to you is to treat certain bacterial infections of the vagina. One of the most common side effects is thick, white vaginal discharge with no odor, or mild odor. I am assuming this is what you mean by white-bloody discharge.

You should also know that itching of the vagina or genital area and/or pain during sexual intercourse are also side effects.

You MUST take this medication for the entire length of time that your doctor prescribed it to you to ensure that the infection will go away completely.

So, all that said, the discharge is a common side effect of this medication and may or may not lessen during use, however, it will go away once you complete your course of medication is over.

From my reading this is a common side effect. To be on the safe side you should always call your doctor, or pharmacist/chemist, and let them know what is going on and they can decide if you should stay on this medication or if they want to change you to a new medicine.

As I said this medicine is for infections, your doctor may decide to switch your medicine if he/she feels that this side effect is not in your best interest.
