Drugs to treat yeast infections

If you have symptoms of vaginal yeast infection such as itching, burning and thick white flows, it is important to be diagnosed by your doctor before trying over -the -counter medications – especially if you have never had a yeast infection before.

Symptoms of yeast infections are similar to other types of vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis (a vagina bacterial infection) and trichomonase (sexually transmitted infection).

Standard drugs for yeast infections are all part of the class of antifungal drugs called Azols. They include:

MiConazole (monistat)
Clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin)
Tioconazole (Vagistat)
Butoconazole (gynazole)
Terconazole (Terazol)

Fluconazole (diflucan) is a prescription pill for yeast infections. Most women require only one dose of medication to eliminate their yeast infection, but fluconazole is not recommended for pregnant women due to a potential risk of harming the developing baby.

Fluconazole can cause light and infrequent side effects, such as headaches, rashes and stomach aches. More rarely, serious side effects can develop, such as pseudo-Grippal symptoms, swelling and convulsions.

Other prescription drugs include Otéconazole (VIVJOA) and Ibrexafungerp (Brexafemme), both caught by the mouth. OteSeconazole is intended for women who are unable to become pregnant and who have recurrent infections, while ibrexafungerp can be prescribed when vaginal yeast infections have not responded to other drugs.

Your doctor may prescribe additional prescription drugs to help treat your symptoms, such as steroids to relieve inflammation of the opening of the vagina.

Treatments last one, three or seven days, which are all just as effective. Unless you have an allergic reaction to the drug, the side effects are generally soft.

You should not use the stamps when using suppositories and creams.

It is generally not recommended to have sex while you are treated for yeast infection, as it can worsen symptoms (by further irritating your vagina) and cause microcears to your skin that increase your risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease. In addition, the ingredients of certain antifungal drugs can degrade the materials used in condoms and diaphragms, which makes them less effective.
