Hi,
Its highly unlikely that biotin is the reason for your vaginal discharge. Though there are reports of vaginal discharge in people taking biotin, the association is not established and it occurs in less than 0.5% of individuals. Many of them may be unrelated to medication use.
I would recommend you to consult a gynaecologist if the greenish discharge continues or if you get itching, burning or any other symptoms. I wouldn't stop the biotin in my patients.
I hope the above information helps you. Thank you writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
