  • Title: One-day therapy for vaginal candidiasis. A review.
    Author: Edelman DA, Grant S.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1999 Jun; 44(6):543-7. PubMed ID: 10394549.
    Abstract:
    Shorter courses of therapy have been developed for most antifungal agents used for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis, including clotrimazole, econazole, 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 according to similar study designs, provided sufficient information to evaluate clinical and mycologic cure rates. There were few significant differences in either the clinical or mycologic cure rates of single-dose therapy, and no one therapy was consistently better than any other. Until further information is available, the choice of therapy will continue to be based on individual clinician preference.
