A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE EFFECTS OF NYSTATIN, CLOTRIMAZOLE AND MICONAZOLE ON VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

B. W. Eliot, R. C. L. Howat, Andrew Mack

Abstract

Nystatin (100 000 units/day for 14 days) and clotrimazole (100 mg/day for 6 days) were equivalent to miconazole (100 mg/day for 14 days or 100 mg twice daily for 7 days) in curing vaginal candidiasis. However significantly more patients relapsed in the nystatin and clotrimazole groups than in either of the miconazole groups.
