One-day therapy for vaginal candidiasis - A review

Shouter courses of therapy have been developed for most antifungal agents u sed for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis, including clotrimazole, econa zole, isoconazole, miconazole, terconazole and fluconazole. A search of the medical literature identified 14 studies that compared single-dose therapy for vaginal candidiasis in nonpregnant women. These studies, conducted acc ording to similar study designs, provided sufficient information to evaluat e clinical and mycologic cure rates. There were few significant differences in either the clinical or mycologic cure rates of single-dose therapy, ant i no one therapy was consistently better than any other. Until further info rmation is available, the choice of therapy will continue to be based on in dividual clinician preference.
