I would wait a few days before treating the yeast infection, the antibiotic may cause it to get worse. antibiotics such as azithromycin are broad spectrum and kill all bacteria in the body including the good ones since enhances chance of yeast infection. If you already have one theres a good chance it will get worse. You could start on some of the oral OTC meds out there to control symptoms, AZO makes one. There are also probiotics that help to maintain balance in the body, acidophilus is a good one, you can buy it at any drug store.





hope this helps..!Prescribed antibiotic %26amp; OTC yeast infection cream at the same time??
The antibiotic is not going to treat the yeast infection, it causes a yeast infection because it kills healthy bacteria in the body at the same time its killing the bad bacteria. If you are having symptoms from the yeast infection now that you cant live with, you can go ahead and take the monistat now, or you may want to wait until your close to finished with the zpac to insure the yeast infection doesnt return.
