A member asked:

What is better for yeast infection treatment, monistat 1, (tioconazole) monistat 3, or monistat 7?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

They all work: First there was Monistat 7, then 3 and now 1.Monistat 1 (tioconazole) is more convenient and works and is preferred by many.Single application treatment is preferable to 3 or 7 days treatment.
