What are the types of treatments available for Yeast Infection
The treatments of yeast infection can be classified into two groups. These two groups are discussed in the following items.
• The first is the topical treatment, where the medicine is directly applied inside the vagina by insertion. It is inexpensive and has almost no side effects at all. Common topical treatments for this infection are clotrimazole, clotrimaderm, and miconazole creams directly applied to the vagina.
• The second is the systemic treatment, where the medicine is performing its task inside the body through the blood. It takes the form of pills or capsules. It is convenient to use, though more expensive and can cause side effects especially when interacted with other drugs.
The most common systemic treatment is fluconazole. It comes either by prescription or by over the counter purchase, depending on the yeast condition.
