How soon can I expect relief from symptoms?
Symptoms such as itching, burning, and soreness usually begin to improve within a few days of starting treatment. However, it may take several days for symptoms to clear completely. If there is no improvement within 7 days, consult your doctor.
Can I stop using Gyn 2% Vaginal Cream once my symptoms improve?
No. You should complete the full course of treatment (single-day or multi-day, as prescribed). Stopping treatment too early may allow the infection to return.
Should I avoid sexual intercourse during treatment?
Yes. It is recommended to avoid vaginal intercourse while you have thrush and during treatment, as this can worsen irritation and delay healing.

Does my sexual partner need treatment?
