A member asked:

I've been using terconazole 4% cream for 2 days. it's not working. can i switch to monistat 3 mid treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: But give the terconazole a little longer. U may still have some sx's for a day or 2 even after infection done. If not better in a few days and did not see a doc there is a chance it's not a yeast infection. It likely is though and u can certainly switch to monistat. Good luck.
