diflucan

Avatar f tn Did this current urine grow Candida albicans? C albicans can be resistant to drugs ending in azole. Diflucan is Fluconazole. They can give you Amphotericin B but it has bad side effects. I would the infectious doctor.
Avatar f tn I have tried to nystatin a couple of times plus difulcan 150mg for 7 days over and over since the end of September and I am currently on diflucan 100mg for 30 days since January 29, 2015. I am about done with that and it is still there..I can't get it to clear up. Just to let you know, I have lupus (sle), sjogren's syndrome, raynaunds, fibromyalgia, interstital cystitis, ibs, reflux, possible adrenal fatigue which I see my kidney dr.
1472764 tn?1287588186 Did he take a swab? Is he SURE it is Candida Albicans? He should do a culture and sensitivity to make sure what he is dealing with. There is another yeast besides Albicans that can cause yeast infection Albicans is so common, they treat for that...the other is treated differently.
Avatar m tn ve had chronic yeast infections (4-6 a year) for about 3 years now. 2 years ago my doctor prescribed Diflucan and it worked well for a while (cleared up the infection right away). About 8 months ago the Diflucan stopped being as effective, and I would have to take one 150mg pill then followed by another 150mg pill 3 days later. For the past 6 months I've had a yeast infection that has not really gone away. I have relief for a couple days to a week max and then the symptoms returned.
Avatar m tn Candida dubliniensis has a different DNA makeup than candida albicans and does not grow at 42 degrees C, as candida albicans does (this is the way doctors differentiate between the two). In terms of symptoms and treatment, however, these two types of candida are similar. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
2118271 tn?1337463104 I have also used a natural antifungal before all this because I was suspicious I had a systemic candida condition (no doctor has been willing to test me for it, and the antifungals have gotten rid of my other symptoms. Is this thrush, or something else? What else can I take for resistant thrush if that is what it is? I take a high probiotic count, and I am suspicious i am allergic to diary ever since I had C.
Avatar n tn whate tonge may be related to exessive use of antiboitic, antiboitic kill good germs beside bad germs, killing good germs will give a chance for candida albicans (fungi) to live freely and colonize the place. the more clarithromycin you take the more it it prolonged even with transient remession. and u did the culture for bacteria not for candida.
Avatar n tn I have been dealing with other various symptoms ( thrust, fungal skin rashes, weight gain, sugar cravings, alcohol abuse, depression) which are believed ( predominantly by the alternative medics) to be assosciated with an overgrowth of yeast in the system, known as candida albicans. I have been taking probiotics now for about 2-3 months and my nasal sores have dramatically improved. I would suggest doing some candida research, then if you think it sounds appropriate, try a GOOD probiotic.
Avatar n tn ( tongue thrush ) white painful hairy tongue that has not gone away for more than 3 months ( I already took DIFLUCAN , NYSTITIN , Water proxide ) nothing helps i was diagnosed by the DR, also i did 2 HIV TESTS .... first right before the trush came and the second one after 3 months.... NEGATIVE.. please help meeeeeeeeeeeeee it hurts and i dont know what to do to get it cure.
1427033 tn?1297507496 You are correct in the fact that there is VERY LITTLE that doctors seem to know about Intestinal Candida or Systemic Candida infections. For the past 6 years I have been fighting health conditions that are only getting worse. The first thing doctors want to do is prescribe me anti-depressants and when I tell them I am unable to tollerate the side effects they simply brush me off and that is the last I see of them.
Avatar m tn As part of a routine STD screening, my urine culture came up positive for Candida Albicans, all others negative. I do not have any rashes of any sort as most symptoms would suggest, however I have always had a slight tingling sensation once in a while due to a prior chlamydia infection over a year ago (i'm confident that this is mental and/or the "sprained ankle" symptom). There doesn't appear to be much info out there on Candida Albicans in men.
Avatar m tn I first found out when I went to planned parenthood and they gave me diflucan. Diflucan has never worked for me, so the next visit they gave me Gynazole 1, and a prescription for another Gynazole 1 if the yeast persisted. It did so i applied it then I applied various otc suppositories and I finally got rid of the yeast but developed BV. I went to a doctor and he gave me antibiotics that are usually given to treat trich even though I didn't have trich.
709686 tn?1277432159 Would love to see a forum for "Candida Albicans" which is an internal yeast overgrowth caused by too much sugar, antibotics, stress...etc. I am currently suffering from this and would love a community to get involve with. Thanks.
Avatar n tn About 90% of yeast infections are caused by Candida albicans, which is senstive to the imidazole drug class, which includes both Diflucan and Monistat. Most of the rest are caused C. glabrata, which is resistant to the imidazoles and requires alternative treatments, such as nystatin (usually sold generically) or caspofungin (Cancidas). You should discuss this possibility with your doctor. In the meantime, I see little reason for concern about STDs.
Avatar m tn In addition to the more publicized side effects, birth control pills can cause the overproduction of Candida albicans, a yeast that develops into a fungus under favorable conditions (favorable to candida, that is).
Avatar f tn Oral thrush and other yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans (C. albicans). ... You may develop an overgrowth of C. albicans that causes oral thrush if you take certain medications that reduce the number of friendly microorganisms in your body, such as antibiotics. Here is a link: https://www.medicinenet.com/thrush/article.htm There is a lot of info on the net about this and other Candida issues.
Avatar f tn Not one of them can offer me any advice on how to rid myself of this painful illness, except for advising me to use antifungals on a regular basis. I find that fluconazole (Diflucan) works better than any of the others I've tried except Mycelex troches (which helps somewhat). In spite of trying yogurt, lactobacillus pills, caprylic acid, and eating less sugary food, and taking 150 mg of fluconazole daily for a over a week, the infection always returns.
Avatar f tn By candida, you mean Candida albicans, yes? Yes, you can get C. albicans in your vaginal area. In fact, it's actually part of your normal flora. It's a common cause of yeast infections but only causes them when there is a pH imbalance due to various reasons. I don't think these pimples would be related to C. albicans, though. You might get them checked out just to see what it is.
Avatar f tn Please I do need urgent help. I contacted candida albicans after having sexual intercourse. The test results confirmed it. Injections ain't working medicine ain't. Please rahses and inshes all over my private part is hell for me. I need a cure. Help with advice or anything.
Avatar m tn What is the usual dosage for treatment of toenail fungus with Diflucan? My doctor prescribed it to me and it just seems to be different than normal. He said to take 100 mg/daily for the first 10 days of each month until it's gone. Is that a normal regimen?
Avatar n tn To make a long story short, I googled for pictures of candida albicans and they match what I see in my vision. I have had these for about a year and a half. Is there any cure? I have an appointment scheduled with a DO in an ophthalmologist's office in December. ( I couldn't get in to see an ophthalmologist that soon.) I have shared my concern with two scientists and get laughed at and that I could not see them as my eyes do not have microscopes in them.
Avatar f tn t have fluconazole or diflucan as the yeast (Candida albicans) that most causes a vaginal infection is often resistant to this antifungal. Terbinafin is a good ingredient if there is one without azole at the end. Obviously, it is not good to have a persistant infection as it is not only irritating but may lower your immune system and if you got a break in the skin where you bleed it could potentially get into the blood stream (which would be dangerous).
Avatar n tn I am currently being treated with Diflucan and Cipro for an existing yeast problem. I am taking Diflucan for 30 days and Cipro for 10 days. This will give me some relief for about three or four months and then I will need to treat the problem again. Questions: Should I change the Diflucan/Cipro time schedule or try different drugs? Any other suggestion would be very much appreciated. I should note that I take enzymes with each meal (Digest Gold and Fenol) Thanks for any help, Sam.
