You have a person with lady partsl candidiasis. She has a reaction to miconazole so the usual over-the-counter stuff can't be used. The other choices of Mycelex (which I think is clortrimazole) works poorly. What do you suggest that doesn't require a prescription? Any old time remedies we can recommend to this person?

IMO, : reconfirm the dx first and if it is a resistant case...I am not too optimistic OTC and natural remedies would necessarily work.

:chuckle Get her to douche w/ buttermilk.........honestly......it does work.............sounds terrible........but an OB/GYN doc and his wife told us to tell our OB's to use it........and had wonderful results.......and less expensive...........

Yougurt with active cultures taken internally (Fruit OK), and topically (without fruit) helps.
