Femstat and Butoconazole are Dangerous Yeast Infection Drugs
It is believed that over 50% of women suffer from yeast infections at some time in their lives. Many of these women suffer from this painful problem at least once a month and, unfortunately, some women have yeast infections that never seem to go away.
If you suffer from yeast infections you have probably discovered the many over-the-counter and prescription drugs such as Femstat and Butoconazole that claim to be cures. Some of these actually do bring some relief from the symptoms but none of them is a permanent cure and all of them have some dangerous side effects. Anyone considering the use of these drugs should clearly understand the risks and side effects.
Butoconazole is one generic medication which is sold in cream form; often under the names femstat or gynazole. It is used to treat yeast infections of the vagina. Femstat comes as a cream that is inserted into the vagina. It is usually applied before going to bed for a period of either 1 or 6 days.
Creams such as femstat have an antifungal action that kills most of the fungus that it comes into contact with. By killing most of the Candida yeast in the vagina it is usually fairly effective in bring relief to the immediate symptoms. Itching and swelling are reduced. Pain and burning are lessened. However, since it only works when it comes into contact with the yeast, it is impossible to completely cure a yeast infection by using a cream.
Many women report serious and painful side effects from using creams such as femstat. The side effects are sometimes worse than the infection and may include the following:
* Burning, irritation, and pain in vagina or urinary opening
* Lower abdominal cramps
* Stomach pain
* Fever
* Chills
* Flu-like symptoms
* Foul-smelling discharge
* Rash
* Itching
* Swelling
* Severe Dizziness
* Trouble breathing
Of course, these creams should only be applied externally. Be very careful to not let the cream get into your eyes or mouth, and do not swallow it.
Since femstat is inserted into the vagina it is important to remember that it contains mineral oil. Mineral oil will weaken the latex rubber that condoms and diaphragms are made of so be careful if you use either of these forms of birth control. Use another form of birth control while you are using the cream and for at least 3 full days after your treatment has ended.
