default
Posted on Thu, 18 Aug 2016
Question: I had a yeast infection in XXXXXXX I did the three day treatment with Monistat, and it went away. Now I am in Mexico taking 250 mg of cipro per day to ward off any Montezuma's revenge. The yeast infection has returned. Should I do a 3 day treatment again? Does the cipro have anything to do with it returning?
