USA Buying over the counter meds?

[coldflange]

I'm heading off to USA tomorrow for 6 nights and still have symptoms of thrush.

I've had prescriptions from the GP but it's not cleared up.

I have just taken one of the oral capsules purchased otc here in uk.

My question is: if this doesn't work what would I be able to buy in a pharmacy in USA? It's northern california. I don't want to have to suffer, nor do I want to go down having to have medical bills and dealing with insurance.

Thanks.

You should be able to get this brand in any pharmacy off the shelf.
www.monistat.com/yeast-infection-treatment

I think this is the off the shelf alternative to Diflucan / fluconazole.

Thank you.

Am hoping I won't need anything, but it's good to be prepared.

Yes you can buy in the supermarket and it's so cheap I normally bring back a few boxes

[coldflange]

I was expecting it to be expensive.

Might stock up then, even if I feel better ;)

American medications are great
The miconozole is about $3 for 3 day treatment

I'm so pissed off at myself as I forgot to buy any drugs last week when I was there

[BlueCowWonders]

It's often stocked with the Sanpro. I had to ask for something for 'yeast infections'
(Love US tv commercials for all medicines -so much info but so coy!)

[coldflange]

Great!

I feel a shopping trip coming on

[MozzchopsThirty]

Op do you want to bring me back some acitominophen pm??
I'll pay for them obvs
They're just paracetamol with antihistamine to help you sleep

[poisonedbypen]

Acetaminophen is simply paracetamol, it doesn't have anything else in it. g.co/kgs/VHhC4N

I'm a nurse I know that
The acitominaphen pm has antihistamine and is lovely

[poisonedbypen]

But not how to spell it
Panadol Night (same thing) is available in Boots I believe.

[MozzchopsThirty]

Never said I was a speller!
And as I'm a nurse in the uk I've never had to spell it
But hope you feel better for pointing that out

Panadol night are extremely difficult to find

Speak to the pharmacies, my Mum had a similar issue when she visited me and they were really helpful x
