Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan yeast infection single dose
diflucan
So, I have this raging yeast infection.
So I've got a long one here.. Starting in December I got back together with my boyfriend whom I hadn't been with in about 2 months. We got back together and I experienced my first yeast infection. I used monistat and the symptoms went away, and waited a week to have sex. The sex was slightly painful and had a little amount of spotting afterwards. Well, the yeast infection came back right away...
Yeah, the Fluconazole I'm taking is just a generic brand of Diflucan. So taking a single dose of Diflucan usually gets rid of your yeast infection? Lucky, haha. I'm on day 11 right now of taking Diflucan and I can't say its doing anything. I've heard that taking probiotics while taking antibiotics is also good for avoiding yeast infections, especially Acidopholous (which is the bacteria found in yogurt naturally).
Single-dose oral medication. Your doctor might prescribe a one-time, single oral dose of fluconazole (Diflucan). To manage more-severe symptoms, you might take two single doses three days apart.
See your doctor again if treatment doesn't resolve your symptoms, or if your symptoms return within two months.
If your symptoms are severe, or you have frequent yeast infections, your doctor might recommend:
Long-course vaginal therapy.
I've been taking Keflex and Prednisone for an ear infection that I've had for 2 months (this is my 3rd antibiotic in the last 2 months) and I have developed a very red rash starting right below the opening of my vagina, the skin beside it(kinda the start of my ver inner butt cheek), all the way up to my anus. The rash is itchy and sore (esp on my anus). It looks like a severe diaper rash. I've seen this type of rash on a friends child who had an external yeast infection.
) my GP prescribed me some cream used to treat yeast infections (thrush) as well as a single dose of an antibiotic that treats fungal infections but so far nothing has changed. I bathed in a salt bath yesterday but that made no difference either I've barely slept at all in 5 nights because this is so bad now, please help!!
The area surrounding there is also very red, irritated, and I feel some really small bumps I guess. Is this a yeast infection? I finished up a 10 day course of antibiotics for a sinus infection like a week and a half ago. I have never had a yeast infection before. As a matter of fact, I am 30 and have never been to a gynecologist. I have big time anxiety regarding going to doctors. Anyway, is this something I need to go regarding?
I have had the same partner since Oct of last year and was tested before any engagements. Well on the 17th of Feb I felt I had a yeast infection. Went to urgent care for that and what I believed was developing into a URI from my most recent virus. Urgent care said I had strep and he prescribed me a azithromycin and Diflucan for yeast (no swab). Well following Wed I was in tears when urinating from the urine touching my skin and knew I also had a uti.
It sounds like an external yeast infection did you rub the yeast infection cream on those areas? It could be that you need another round of the Diflucan sometimes it is so bad that one pill is not enough. What kind of soap do you use some soaps are too strong and cause yeast infections. Zest will I know and shower gels as well like the kind from bath and body works. Scrunchies can transmit yeast infections if you unknowingly used one during a yeast infection.
Hi ladies, so I've had a yeast infection for about 3 months now and after repeatedly telling my doctor, today she did the group b strep and said it looks like I have a yeast infection(really?!) I haven't been itchy the whole 3 months but in February I got the canesten cream (after going to l&d for thinking i had an infection, she told me to get some) and use it on days when I am itchy.
was found during my annual) and my dr (who is new and i do not normally see) prescribed me diflucan for 12 weeks, one pill, once a week. I have never heard of this or treated a yeast infection with diflucan like this before and am starting to think this doctor I saw was a quack/slave to drug company kind of doctor. Has anyone ever been prescribed diflucan this way?
Diagnosed as NSU and over next three months it kept recurring despite abstaining from sex and being treated with Azithromycin 1 dose, Doxycycline 1 week, Erythromycin + Metronidazole 1 week, and lastly Azithromycin again for 5 days. My wife was treated with Azitheromycin large single dose and then 4 days. All tests to isolate organism were negative. I was told to stop looking so closely and it, at last, cleared in January.
Usually diflucan is prescribed in a single dose. but there have been many occasions that I have had to use it for a week or even a month or so at a time.
Also, sometimes it is necessary to use a topical anti-inflammatory like clobetasole to clear up the inflammation the candida had caused.
Finally, it is important to re-establish the "good" bacteria--lactobacillus which normally keep the yeast under control by competing with them.
So I've had a yeast infection since I found out I was pregnant. My doctor finally gave me a prescription to get diflucan. But my insurance want pay for it because they he said it is a risk for the baby. Has this happened to anyone else? Or have you taken diflucan and everything turned out fine? Not to mention she only prescribe me 2 pills one every 24 hours and that's it.
This is easily treated by an over the counter antifungal from the pharmacy. You can get a single dose tablet (Diflucan) or creams and pessaries ie Canesten/monistat. The tablet takes 2 or 3 days to start working so using a cream in the meantime can really help. You can buy a prepackaged tablet and cream set.
I was on antibiotics for an ear infection and now have a yeast infection. The GP gave me a RX for Diflucan. I took that much earlier tonite. I just happened to read the Prescription info sheet & it has Xanax as an interacting drug but it doesnt say how. I tried googling and cant see why it shouldnt be taken.. I did see where under Xanax it says one of the drugs to avoid is Diflucan. Why would an antifungal med interact with a sedative?
I am in my last trimester and i think i may have a yeast infection.
