Adjunct only: Your pharmacist, gynecologist or primary care physician can probably recommend something more reliable.

Messy alternative: If you are experiencing vaginal yeast issues, using an otc anti-fungal cream for 7 nights in the vagina is much more effective. Yogurt with live cultures can help maintain the gut flora and often help prevent yeast issues that occur after antibiotic use.
