Hello! I often get yeast infections. I apply canesten, but I was wondering if there is anything else I can do.

Hello,
Before continuing, I would like to validate your symptoms.
Do you have itching? White flaky discharge? Is there a fishy smell?
Are the symptoms more on the inside or outside?
Also, have you tried anything other than Canesten cream in the past?

I had received a prescription for this in the past.
the symptoms are mostly white discharge.

Thanks for the clarification. It does look like yeast vaginitis
The fluconazole capsule is generally more effective than the Canesten cream. One capsule by mouth and the symptoms decrease significantly after 48-72h
This treatment would be more effective in treating your problem.
I hope this answers your question. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate.

Should this one be given with a prescription or is it over the counter?
thank you

It is available over the counter, but must be documented in your file.
