Hello! in seeing the different types of cream medications inserted into the vagina to cure yeast infections, i would like to know.....what is the difference between "clotrimazole" and "miconazole"? is one better than the other? is one stronger? what is the (chemical) difference and why?

 Hello,Both these are azole derivatives and act in a similar way acting on the yeast cell wall ergosterol synthesis.Some reports of a marginal increase in activity in action on the cell mebrane by miconazole is reported but i think by the end of the day both have similar results in clinical practice.Best wishes.
