Wait: I would just wait til you finish your period unless you have a significant vaginal infection now. These kind of treatments work best right after your period.

Question 5

difference between flagystatin and zalain(sertaconazole nitrate)? im having reoccurring yeast infection. culture test noted presence of fungus which medication is better? will 1 dose of zalain suppository be enough?

Accepted Answer

: This is your fifth or sixth question (maybe more) about this problem. At this point it is time to 1) stop all medications, no matter what your symptoms; 2) see a knowledgeable physician about these problems; and 3) stop asking questions on this or any distant online resource. We cannot help any further. Good luck.

Question 6

how to treat reoccurring and prolonged bv? tried many rounds of flagystatin ovules, no cure. and two weeks of metronidazole didnt worked. been having bv for a year?

Accepted Answer

: You can try one of these approaches or a combination: suppression Tx with metronidazole gel 7.5%, 5-gram dose, twice a week for 4-6 months or boric acid vaginal suppository every night x 1 month or/and sex abstinence vs partner with condom use . Suppression therapy or boric acid suppository should be started after 1 week of induction therapy with standard dose of oral metronidazole or tinidazole.

Question 7

whats the suggested regime to beat 9months long bv that didnt go away 2x weeks of oral metronidazole and multiple rounds of flagystatin? please let me know so i can share with my doctor?

Accepted Answer

: Is it BV based on diagnostic evaluation at vaginal examination or treatment based on you describing vaginal discharge is what I wonder. It may be that the appropriate diagnosis should be made by comprehensive evaluation and laboratory tests so you could have appropriate treatment because treating BV when you have chlamydia would not cure the problem.

Question 8

ive been prescribed flagystatin 10days for bv+thrush and unfortunately my period started with my first dose. would my treatment be affected? (todays my second dose/second day of my period and my period lasts for 5 days?

Accepted Answer

it should not be affected. Tampons may affect efficacy so do not use tampons as they  may absorb the medication.

Question 9

yeast infection: tried 1 dose of zalain vaginal suppository(sertaconazole). it worked better than flagystatin. dosage is one ovule per week. gynae gave me 3more to use which will last me 3wks. when to see the gyane again if condition isnt better?

Accepted Answer

: if not better go back right away.

Question 10

watery stool for 1 week. completed a 7 days course of flagystatin 2 days ago for yeast infection given by gynae. any link for watery stool(no accompanied pain)? when to see doctor for it?

Accepted Answer

: The medication you took is a combination of 2 drugs metronidazole and nystatin. One to treat trichomonas or bacterial vaginosis and the latter treats yeast. Unfortunately, adverse effects of both drugs are diarrhea. If you was just off this drug for 2 days, wait for a couple more days, hydrate well in the meantime.
