Although most OTC medications such as Monistat and other similar creams
are readily available without a prescription and are inexpensive, easy to use
and act fast to relief the symptoms, treating yeast infection lo cally using a
cream or suppository have clear disadvantages:
1) They work temporarily to alleviate the symptoms while
increasing the body’s resistance to the treatment.
2) They cannot provide a solution for systemic yeast infection
since, as you know, the yeast lives in many parts of the body
besides the visibly infected area.
3) They are usually messy and contain oils that break down the
latex material in birth control methods such as condoms.
4) OTC can cause serious side effects for pregnant women and
girls under the age of 12.
Oral Rinses, for example, are only in contact with the yeast cells for a limited
period of time and therefore, are the least effective treatment for oral yeast
infection or thrush. Even several days after the creamy white patches on the
tongue, and tonsils disappear, since the root problem that caused these
symptoms to manifest has not been addressed, these symptoms will
resurface after a while.
Creams, Ointments and Lotions that are used for skin and nail infections
need to be applied one to four times a day for as long as four to five weeks
with consistency and persistence. Stopping the treatment early makes the
yeast develop resistance to the antifungal agent and the treatment will
eventually fail. Moreover, anti-fungal creams and ointments often contain
steroids aimed at reducing inflammation. Long term use of steroids can stress
the liver, weaken your immune capabilities and aggravate Candida infection.
