### Patient: Doctor, I have been feeling some discomfort and itching down there. I think I might have a yeast infection. What medication should I take?
### Doctor: I recommend taking Fluconazole (Diflucan) to treat the yeast infection. Additionally, you can use Nystatin Topical Product, Clotrimazole Topical, Miconazole Topical Product, Terconazole Topical, Betamethasone-Clotrimazole Topical, Butoconazole Topical, or Zinc Oxide Topical to relieve the symptoms. If you are also experiencing pain during intercourse, then you can take Pentosan Polysulphate Sodium (Elmiron). Lastly, I recommend taking a hormonal birth control pill such as Ortho Cyclen or Portia to prevent future yeast infections.
