Vaginal, skin and oral antifungals are not interchangeable; confirm the diagnosis, product, route and pregnancy plan before treating yourself.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

New discharge, smell, pain, sores, bleeding or fluid leakage may have another cause. Avoid using leftover tablets or repeating treatment without review when symptoms persist.

What changes the answer

  • The exact active ingredient, strength, dose, route and formulation
  • Why you use it, how often, and the pregnancy week or exposure date
  • Other prescriptions, non-prescription products, supplements and health conditions

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
