Question 3

off antibiotics for bv. doctor gave me one fluconazole 150mg to take after. will monistat 7 be just as effective? worried about pill adverse effects.

Accepted Answer

Probably OK, but...: Monistat would be just as effective if you have yeast as well as BV, but a vaginal cream can make it a bit difficult to judge discharge, i.e. how well the BV treatment is working. Side effects are very rare from oral fluconazole; I suggest you follow your doctor's advice. Or hold off and see if you get yeast symptoms as your BV clears. If not, probably neither treatment will be needed.

Accepted Answer

Mucinex (guaifenesin): mucinex (guaifenesin) is brand name for glycerol guiacolate Same as Robitussin but in pill form. It is an expectorant and loosens mucus so you can spit it up.  You can also drink a lot of tea and do largely the same thing.  Maybe you took it because you were coughing (appropriate) and because you coughed hard you set off the gag reflex and that's why you vomited badly. It wasn't the mucinex (guaifenesin) but the cough!  Ah h
