I am looking for oral yeast infection medications that are available over the counter. I don't have a regular doctor and do not have the time to go this week. Or, are there any non medicinal ways to treat a yeast infection. I started eating some yogurt and drinking cranberry juice. I have eaten a clove of garlic once before to get rid of a bladder infection. Does that work the same for yeast infection?

In relation to oral yeast medications like Diflucan and Nystatin, no they are not over the counter as of yet. The eating of the yogurt will help with treating the yeast infection. The reason it does is because it has good cultures called lactobacilli which helps keep the vagina and even the intestinal (yep, one can have a yeast problem in their intestines) tract running smoothly.
If you suspect that you have a yeast infection I would recommend seeing a dr to have them evaluate the situation before trying to self treat. If money is an issue check with the city health dept to see if they offer free health clinics. If not check with a Medical School if there is one close by. You can also ask the dr if they offer samples of the Diflucan to help cut on some of the cost of the medication.

How should I take fluconazole?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Your dose will depend on the infection you are treating. Vaginal infections are often treated with only one pill. For other infections, your first dose may be a double dose. Carefully follow your doctor's instructions.
You may take fluconazole with or without food.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Use this medicine for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Fluconazole will not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse while using fluconazole.
Store the tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
You may store liquid fluconazole in a refrigerator, but do not allow it to freeze. Throw away any leftover liquid medicine that is more than 2 weeks old.
