Battling 3months long vagina candidas glabrata: gotten a prescription for boric acid suppositories(600mg in a gelatin capsule) anything i should know about the boric acid capsules? as i often see mixed reviews online. some dr approve it some dr dont?

This suppository is not effective in eradicating C. glabrata but it works by replenishing normal vaginal acidity and balancing vaginal flora (helpful bacteria). With those effects, the fungal colonization of the vagina may be overcome. You can give it a try, not a harmful product.
