Hi @annmvenus, I still use the Clotrimazole troches as needed if I have signs of an oral yeast issue flare up. Depending on my symptoms it can take several days for the issue to subside and then I can go weeks to months without needing to use them again.
My situation is a little unique as this yeast issue is related to side effects of my medical condition. But I’ve shared my experience of using the troches to others. And after using the medication as I outlined in my above comment, most had great results as well. The key was to allow the troches to slowly and completely melt over the tongue. I used at least 3 per day, sometimes for up to 5-7 days. Most of the time it helps within a day or two. Might be worth mentioning to your doctor/dentist.
By the way, welcome to Connect! Are you having the symptoms of an oral yeast infection? Is this ongoing or relatively new?
