Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have read your question fully and understand your concerns.

You can use a vaginal pessary instead of the cream. A vaginal pessary is a tablet which you insert into your vagina. You can use Clotrimazole 500 mg vaginal pessary – it is a once only dose. You could still continue the powder that was prescribed.

Do not use harsh soaps or soap products in your private parts. Use cotton panties; avoid tight fitting inner garments and clothes. Keep the area dry from sweat and water.

I hope this answer has helped you.

Thank you

Regards
Dr Sunita Sayammagaru
