A member asked:
What's more effective, diflucan (fluconazole) or monistat 3?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For what?: Diflucan (fluconazole is generic) is taken by mouth for two months in appropriate dosage. Monistat may or may not clear a vaginal yeast. The source of the infection is in the bowel and needs prolonged treatment with nystatin.
