Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection
Hello, my daughter is 8yrs old and has a yeast infection. My doctor recommended gyne-lotrimin, however, none of the local pharmacy carried the national brand and only the store brand Clotrimazole3. Is it the same thing and or is it safe to use on my 8yr old daughter? Thanks!

Hello. I just read through your question.
Clotrimazole is the same thing, as you say. It is perfectly safe to use on your daughter.
