OTC Medicines for Vaginal Yeast Infection

•              Clotrimazole: This is an anti - fungal medication used in the treatment of large number of conditions including vaginal yeast infection. The main side effects of this medication are burning sensation, redness and itching. Hence, rather than relieving your symptoms, Clotrimazole can aggravate them in the long run.

•              Miconazole: Miconazole is an anti - fungal agent. It can relieve the symptoms of yeast infection. The common side effects of this agent are diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite and in some cases fever and chills.

•              Tioconazole: This anti – fungal medication can give you relief from symptoms of yeast infection. However, the side effects can be ghastly. You may experience allergic reaction like rash, itching, swelling etc. Some women also complain of vaginal pain and stomach cramps.

•              Butoconazole nitrate: Butoconazole Nitrate is available freely in the market. This is a pity as this product can cause many side effects including vaginal burning or itching, soreness, vaginal discharge and more.

Almost all the above medicines work in a similar fashion to treat vaginal yeast infection. They can destroy the cell wall of the Candida microbe and hence give temporary relief from the condition. These OTC medicines are ineffective in the long run as not a single drug can attack the root cause of the disease.

Causative factors of vaginal yeast infection like hormonal imbalance, stress, the OTC does not at all address poor diet etc. On the contrary, these medicines can create problems like hormonal imbalance, which will make your problem worse. Some medicines can also kill healthy bacteria making you more prone to chronic vaginal yeast infection. Pregnant women cannot use these medicines either due to the possibility of damage to the fetus.
