Accepted Answer

No: Anti fungal medications do not change the effectiveness of the birth control pill.

Question 2

which is better for vaginal yeast infection: travocort cream or candacort cream?

Accepted Answer

: I would say that both of them are actually not the best for candidal vaginal infection because of the steroid they both have.

Travocort sound like may be better if you insist on using something with'cort'.

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: Yeast is a life form, and there are many kinds. Some live with humans, as a normal part of us. If these "friends" of ours get to be more than desired, we call it a yeast overgrowth... such as when seen in the mouth, on skin, in skin folds, in a vagina, etc... If they get even more overgrown, or if any yeast go where they are not supposed to live, we call them infections... which can be evaluated.
