A member asked:
Is it safe to use consecutive doses of monistat 3? yeast infection symptoms cleared up after 3 day course but external irritation remains.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe but: It is safe to extend the use. When people do not get better using over the counter yeast medications I like to see them in the office to confirm that they actually have yeast and not something else. If you do not get better with the 2nd treatment schedule a visit. Prevaleaf Soothe is a nice over the counter supplement to yeast medications for vaginal irritation as well.
