Whole Foods. Target pharmacy might carry these.

Waldbaum's, CVS, Walmart, GNC. The Folic Acid would be in the Vitamin Isle at the Drug Stores, whereas the Tea Tree Oil is in the aisle with Nail Products. The Tea Tree Oil should be in a very small, dark bottle and make sure it's the pure form. The larger sizes are diluted with other oils. You may try taking sitz baths with apple cider vinegar. Also taking acidophilus supplements, or consuming yogurt to replace the friendly bacteria depleted by the antibiotics. Garlic Capsules may also be beneficial.

ANY pharmacy will have Folic acid - its one of the most commonly taken vitamins, because its a very commonly prescribed drug, and buying it over the counter is cheaper (yes, vitamins ARE drugs, this one is used to reduce homocysteine, and to treat certain forms of anemia, among other things.) I don't know why you would want it for BV....are you thinking that by reducing estriadol that you might impact vaginal pH? I wouldn't count on it... And tea tree oil is so common that ANY health food store will have it, although the antimicrobial spectrum of it (which is far more limited than people would like to admit, or know) is not capable of killing the pathogens that cause BV. You are better off calling your physician, and getting another course of antibiotics, or another antibiotic (the germs that are causing BV are becoming immune to metroconazole rather quickly, amoxicillian might be a better bet....talk to your doctor about this....) But to answer your question - any health food store should have both of those items, should you chose to follow that route. Sometimes I just feel compelled to throw in an additional two cents.
