Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Miconazole and Tioconazole are same group of drug (Imidazole). Therefore, if you are allergic to Miconazole, then there is good chance of allergic to Tioconazole.

Kindly, consult with your treating doctor for different group of anti-fungal medicine as alternative option.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Do you know of any OTC meds that work for a bacterial infection?

Brief Answer:
Topical anti-bacterial ointment is available OTC.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

Topical anti-bacterial medication like Neosporin or Bactroban (Mupirocin) may be available over the counter.

However, if you need ORAL antibiotic medicine, you should consult with your treating doctor for complete prescription. It will be more worthwhile.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.
