Suggest A Substitute Of Monistat
I have had an allergic reaction to Monistat, for yeast infections. What is a good substitute to try? I haven t a clue what ingredient in the Monistat I reacted to, although there are some I know I can not tolerate. Lanolin, floral scent, citric acids (worst reaction to oranges), niacin, etc. I have not gotten rid of the yeast infection and it is getting out of hand. Do you have an option that may work?

Improve your immune system by having proper diet. Add fish/ cod liver oil tablets or multivitamin tablets to your routine.
