Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan and monistat

diflucan

Avatar n tn I'm actually using the 3 day monistat treatment right now lol. It's safe to use. If anything I think its safer than the one day pill antibiotic they prescribe for yeast infections called Diflucan.
Avatar f tn My doctor said Diflucan is not safe during pregnancy and will only prescribe a cream if I get one. There might be mixed opinions, though.
1472764 tn?1287588186 I'm 16 weeks and I'm suffering from a horrible yeast infection. I took 7 days of terazol and 3 days of monistat. Neither helped. Creams usually don't on me. Diflucan is the only thing that works but my dr. said he doesn't prescribe it during pregnancy. I'm so sick of it. I'm miserable. Has anyone ever taken diflucan when they were pregnant? What are the side effects to the baby?
Avatar n tn Monistat 7 is the safest thing to use during pregnancy. I used it in early pregnancy with my 3 girls and there were healthy. if it was me don't use that prescription, just the Monistat. My doctor that I had, now I'm having my 5th baby and they say Monistat is the safest to use and you can even use the cheapest brand, it's all the same.
1757697 tn?1313069068 Yep! I had a yeast infection in the 3rd trimester with my son and I had to take Monistat...it's perfectly safe. Don't be alarmed when almost all of it gushes back out, because now that your cervix is closed to support the pregnancy there's nowhere for the cream to go and it will leak out...so use it before bed or before lying down and that will minimize how much of it comes out immediately, but I would advise wearing a pantyliner!
525485 tn?1314361301 In my experience, the over the counter creams do not work for me but I am extremely sensitive to medications. I alwasy call my doctor and she'll call in a script for me. But, I think Diflucan is the only oral medication (at least it's the only oral medication I've ever heard of for yeast infections).
Avatar n tn I am 38 weeks pg., and have had a yeast inf. for about a week and a half...I have taken the Diflucan pill once, a cream (one time application) once, and now the Dr. gave me more Diflucan..... what else can I do???? Should I buy some over the counter monistat and use that too???? It is such a stubborn infection with all these hormones....what the heck do I do at this point??? I am so frustrated. Please help me.
Avatar n tn If you have insurance your dr can call you in a one time dose of diflucan or you can do the monistat as cassandra19 suggested
290018 tn?1240365868 I know that you can use monistat, but I am suprised that your doctor didnt perscribe something like Diflucan. I had a yeast infection and that is what my doctor prescribed. It worked super fast. I am not completely farmiliar with what Vagisil is...
12182312 tn?1427683956 I think your right but can a reaction last almost 3days?. From now on, it's diflucan for me..
12182312 tn?1427683956 I went to my doctor and she prescribed diflucan and also clomitozole?? (Sp)...I am so itchy and sore I want to cry. Should I try monistat 7. Or wait out the diflucan?. What works for you?
Avatar f tn t work ended up having to go and buy monistat 3. My problem is the hard lumps and itchy bumps with paper cut like scratches in my vaginal area. What can I do to stop this madness?
Avatar f tn A few days after finishing the antibiotics I began to have the same symptoms as the yeast infection and took diflucan and monistat again. A couple weeks after that irritation I experienced similar symptoms again. I took monistat for a day and I was fine. Now 3 weeks later I have the same faint burning and itching on the outside of my vaginal opening. I have searched my vagina and have no skin irritation or bumps just the itch and burn sensation.
Avatar f tn I developed a yeast inefection after 2 rounds of antibiotics for a major ear inefection. I've had a few yeast infections before so I picked up some Monistat 1. I wish I hadn't because I had the worst, most painful burning I've ever felt. In fact, my actual yeast inefection was less irritating and painful than the Monistat 1. After the irritation went away in a few days I realized I still had a yeast infection so I went in to see the dr.
Avatar f tn The monistat may not be strong enough for you. You may have to go to a Gyn and get diflucan and kill the yeast infection. It stays in your system for seven days and you'll be sure to get rid of the yeast. Symptoms usually go away within the 24 hrs after taking the antibiotic pill. Its a 1 dose.
Avatar f tn Is it normal to get yeast infection and safe to use vagsil? , ugh so upset this is happening, i kno its due tight underwear!!!
548642 tn?1266179652 diflucan one dose but i still felt bad so he gave me diflucan week dose!!!
Avatar f tn I have had intense vaginal itching for a couple of weeks now. I went to my gyno and she said I definitely had a yeast infection and gave me 2 Diflucan. I've taken both, and I STILL have this intense itch. It doesn't last all day, but comes in bouts and it's driving me crazy! There's no odor, and I'm guessing some slight discharge, but I'm not understanding why the Diflucan wouldn't help.
Avatar f tn First it was a yeast infection the dictoar treated me with 2 rounds in diflucan. Before and after the treatment I used monistat. No relief. So I went to my gyno and she said the yeast was gone but I had BV. Sh gave my flafyl. Finished it but was still itching.she then prescribed me clindamycin vaginal cream.finished that and still no relief. I've tried everything. Probiotics,yougurt, changed toilet paper,only washed with mild soap,etc. I changed my whole routine.
Avatar m tn She was having white discharge that was not in the cottage cheese texture, but it was accompanied with slight itching and it was very stretchy. Well she used monistat one and it seems that everything else has subsided, but now she has been having what seems to be blood or a gooey brown discharge. We do not know if her body has reacted to the monistat in a weird way or if that is a side effect of taking monistat. I hope someone can give me some answers so I can stop her from worrying so much.
1750793 tn?1311920242 My doctor had told me to stop using it and perscribed Diflucan pill for me to take.. Its been almost 20 hours and I am already starting to feel better.. However when I urinate it burns everything down there.. Other than that the itching is gone. PLEASE before you use this product consult with your doctor first.. Its not worth chancing that you may be allergic to it.
Avatar f tn The discomfort was still bad so they had me add Monistat and Vagisil on day 2 after my first pill. The Monistat made me sting so badly and itch even more, that I used Vagisil extra strength 20% benzocaine probably 7 times (small amounts less than 1 inch) today. (Is that dangerous?) The itching has kept me awake all night. How long should this take to calm down? I haven't had a yeast infection since I was young. (Age 63 now).
Avatar n tn I'll try and make this as specific as possible. I had my first ever yeast infection November 2017 right after my period. It was itchy as all hell and when I looked inside it was completely white like I've never seen before. I talked to a few friends and they all said take a Monistat and it'll be gone in a week. WRONG. The monistat (1-day) burned my vulva! I was on fire and swollen and when I saw everyone else had those side effects I went to urgent care and got a diflucan.
355049 tn?1272256388 When I have a yeast infection my doctor gives me Diflucan, it relieves the itch and all the nasty things to come with a yeast infection in like a hour and it is safe to take durring pregnancy.... It is only 1 pill so no messy creams. I would call your local 24 hour pharmacy... Walgreens and ask the pharmicist..
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor and was tested for everything that could cause the itch and they said it was a yeast infection and gave me Diflucan. It helped for about a day and then stopped. I went back to the same clinic a week later and got another dose which helped for three days this time and then stopped. All my test for STI's came back negative. A month and a half later, I moved and had to go to a new PP because I was still experiencing the itchiness.
Avatar f tn Your doctor should prescribe u what ever u need for the infection .
Avatar f tn I had this burning sensation Sunday on my labias. Tuesday it hasn't gone away. Wednesday I put a monistat 1 capsule insert in with little to no relief. Thursday I make a trip to my doctor and she gives me a diflucan pill. It's now one day after taking the pill and I still have no relief.
