Common questions about Avc

Avc is a vaginal antifungal cream that was used to treat vaginal yeast infections. It works by stopping the growth of fungus causing the infection.

No, there are currently no brand or generic versions available in the United States.

It's not clear why the manufacturer (Mylan) discontinued Avc. There has been a shortage of Avc since at least November 2019. It's possible that the demand for the medication became too low and the manufacturer decided to stop making it, because there are other similar medications that work faster than Avc.
