  • What kind of treatment do you recommend for the fastest relief?
  • Would I get faster relief from discomfort and irritation with an OTC (over-the-
    counter) topical cream like MONISTAT® or an oral prescription?
  • Will my treatment interact with any OTC or prescription medications I'm taking?
  • Once I start using a treatment, how long will it take before I feel relief?
    How long before I'm cured of my yeast infection? What are my alternatives?
  • Do I have any health conditions that may increase my risk of contracting
    a yeast infection?
  • If I get another yeast infection, is it all right to treat myself with an OTC product
