Yeast infection treatment online
Itching and irritation that will not quit? Get it treated.
Vaginal yeast infections are common and very treatable. If you have had one before and this feels the same, a U.S.-licensed provider can review your symptoms online and, if appropriate, send a prescription such as fluconazole to your local pharmacy.
For non-emergencies only. Call 911 for a medical emergency. A licensed provider decides whether a prescription is right for you. Medication is paid separately at the pharmacy. Adults 18+.

Yeast infection questions
Is fluconazole better than Monistat?
For an uncomplicated yeast infection they work about equally well. Fluconazole is a single pill; OTC creams are applied for 1 to 7 days. Some people prefer the pill, others prefer to avoid a prescription.
How fast does fluconazole work?
Most people notice improvement within one to three days, though it can take up to a week for symptoms to go away completely.
How do I know it is a yeast infection and not BV?
Yeast infections usually cause itching and thick white discharge without a strong odor. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) more often causes thin gray discharge with a fishy smell. They need different treatment, which is why it is worth checking if you are not sure.
Can I get treated if I am pregnant?
Oral fluconazole is generally avoided in pregnancy. Talk to your OB or a provider in person, who will usually recommend a vaginal treatment.
How much does an online visit cost?
A flat $99 for the visit, self-pay, no insurance needed. Medication is paid separately at your pharmacy, where a free Rx.com coupon or your insurance can lower the price.
Will I definitely get a prescription?
No. The provider prescribes only when it is medically appropriate. Sometimes the right plan is OTC treatment or rest, and the provider will tell you if you need to be seen in person.
