Is Monistat Safe Drug For Yeast Infection?
I was diagnosed with a yeast infection by my doctor and prescribed diflucan and terconazole 7. I finished 3 days ago, but my symptoms are now back. The doctor s office is closed as it is Saturday night and I m not sure I want to wait until Monday to call and have my prescription renewed. Is it safe to get an over the counter drug such as monistat? I want to get this cleared up ASAP!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you can try over the counter medication such as the monistat mentioned to see if it would help to relieve your symptoms.
If you not notice any significant improvement after completing this course then you should revisit your doctor.
You may need a swab to determine if the yeast present are resistant to the treatment applied and to determine what would work best.
I hope this helps
