The pharmacist’s Role

Yeast infections are probably not a topic you want to discuss with everyone. Your pharmacist is an excellent resource; he or she will listen to you and give you good advice. This healthcare professional has already advised many women in your situation and will do so again often throughout his or her career.

You can be fully confident in the professional and informed advice your pharmacist can give you in complete confidentiality. He or she will provide you with all the information you need about the various forms of treatment (capsule, creams, tablets, suppositories), and days of treatment (one, three or six days), explain the difference between regular treatments and the combination packs, and help you select the treatment that suits you best.
