Recommended Yeast Infection Medicine

Are you confused with so many choices for yeast infection medicine? On this page you will find brand names for yeast infection creams and suppositories recommended by the top medical bodies and also links to buy some of them.

If you've had vaginal yeast before you may decide to have one shot at treating it yourself before you go to your doctor. There are a lot of over the counter medicines for treating yeast infections and many different brands on-line.

See who recommends what.

These are all medically responsible organizations that are recognized internationally. You won't find any "apply iguana poo for three days" therapies on this page!

The active ingredients listed in these yeast infection creams are the top choices for these bodies. They do also recommend other products for yeast infection treatment. If your doctor prescribes something different, don’t be concerned – your doctor will be taking your individual medical history into account. These are NOT the ONLY products that work! They are simply the top choices for each of these bodies.

Remember that yeast infection is very difficult to diagnosis simply on symptoms. The statistics on women diagnosing their own vaginal infection is that only ONE THIRD of the women who treat themselves for vaginal yeast infection actually have that. In the other TWO THIRDS their symptoms are caused by something else.¹

These are all VAGINAL pessaries, suppositories and creams for yeast infections. Do NOT take by mouth.

Yeast infection medicine recommended by the "Big 4" in health²

Miconazole ovule 1.2 g single dose - this includes brand names such as Monistat 1 Combination Pack, Monistat 1 Combination Pack With Coolwipes, and Monistat 1 Combination Pack Day Or Night.

Above recommended by European STI Guidelines and the UK National Guidelines.

Note that these three products are NOT the same as Monistat 1. Confusing, I know but it is an important point. These three have a different active ingredient to the product simply called Monistat 1. Check that on the front of the pack it reads "Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal Insert (1200mg)."

Take a good look at the pictures above so that you can recognize the packs. These are NOT the product simply called Monistat 1.
