- Clinical Cure of Mixed Infection (BV and VVC) as Assessed by the Investigator at the Test-of-cure Visit [ Time Frame: 7-14 days after beginning treatment ]The percentage of participants with clinical cure of both bacterial vaginosis (BV) AND vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) was compared between the combination therapy and the two single entity treatments. Clinical cure of BV is defined as: discharge has returned to normal/physiologic, negative whiff test, and saline wet mount is <20% clue cells. Clinical cure of VVC is defined as resolution of all signs and symptoms attributable to vulvovaginal candidiasis
- Cure of the BV Component of Mixed Infection [ Time Frame: 7-14 days after beginning treatment ]The percentage of participants with both BV and VVC who had clinical cure of bacterial vaginosis (BV) was compared between the combination therapy and the two single entity treatments. Clinical cure of BV was defined as: 1. discharge has returned to normal/physiologic, 2. the whiff test is negative for any amine "fishy" odor, 3. the saline wet mount is <20% clue cells
- Cure of the VVC Component of Mixed Infection [ Time Frame: 7-14 days after beginning treatment ]The percentage of participants with both BV and VVC who had clinical cure of VVC was compared between the combination therapy and the two single entity treatments.Clinical cure of VVC was defined as complete resolution of all signs and symptoms attributable to VVC
- Microbiologic and Mycologic Cure [ Time Frame: 7-14 days after beginning treatment ]The percentage of participants with both microbiologic and mycologic cure was compared between the combination therapy and the two single entity treatments. Yeast cultures were performed and Gram stains of vaginal fluid were graded according to Nugent's criteria. Microbiologic cure requires normal Nugent gram stain score and mycologic cure requires negative yeast culture.
- Number of Participants Reporting Complete Resolution of Symptoms by Test of Cure Visit [ Time Frame: 7-14 days after beginning treatment ]Subjects reported if symptoms completely resolved and the date of resolution. The percentage of participants reporting complete resolution of symptoms was compared between arms.
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Any time during study participation (up to 30 days) ]Adverse events were collected at study visits, from subject diaries and from spontaneous reports
