miconazole
Yeast infection treatment
Miconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat yeast infections and other fungal conditions of the skin, mouth, and vagina.
It works by disrupting the cell membranes of fungi, effectively killing them or stopping their growth.
Available in creams, powders, sprays, and suppositories, miconazole is sold both over-the-counter and by prescription under brand names like Monistat and Micatin.
The pharmacist recommended miconazole cream for the athlete's foot.
