Hmm, I think all the ones I've seen are related to miconazole (any of the ones here look familiar? http://www.drugs.com/enc/vaginal-yeast-infection.html) so I just assumed they were similar. If you figure out what it was I hope you post it! I can't take any of the -azole drugs thanks to allergies. I've never taken Diflucan (which I'm fairly certain is also generic) so I don't know the cost but for some people it works better than Monistat.

Oh, I feel you on the cost of health care (argh!), I probably spent hundreds on YIs in the last year. If you're looking for more things to try the best cure for me has also been the cheapest - vinegar douches. Unfortunately everyone seems to have something different that works best for their particular body.
