diflucan

Avatar f tn Another symptom is long term infection. And I've been having bacteria infection on my throat for a while now. Hmm... so many questions to ask my new doctor!!
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever taken fluconazole? It's a tablet you take (only one) for yeast infection. My pharmacist said it's not for pregnant women but when I called the doc and told him what the pharmacist said he said it was ok to take. Has anyone else been prescribed this? I'm worried.
Avatar f tn I just finished taking Prednisone 2 days ago. And now I have a yeast infection. Is it safe to take Fluconazole now?
Avatar f tn Is there any home remedies that are safe in pregnancy to get rid of a yeast infection? I have already had it twice ans took that one day pill form of it. Just found out its listed as category c so that kind of annoyed me how my dr just acted like it was completely safe. I also really dont want to shoot medicine up there because it just sounds really difficult... any suggestions??
Avatar m tn A month ago I self diagnosed and treated a yeast infection based on my previous yeast infection (diagnosed by a doctor a few years ago). I treated with Monistat (miconazole)cream, which mostly cleared up my symptoms. I still felt somewhat irritated down there so I went to the doctor. She took a swab sample that came back negative for yeast/bacteria/gonorrhea/chlamydia.I felt fine for 2 weeks, then felt intense burning during intercourse . A few days after that, the itch was back.
Avatar f tn Fluconazole does work on yeast infections as it is an antifungal. Clindamycin is different and is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria, not yeast or fungus. Clindamycin can create a situation in which you get a yeast infection. It's not used to treat a yeast infection but fluconazole is.
Avatar f tn Im 11weeks and my 1st time to be pregnant and i think i have yeast infection. Does anyone here experience this too? And what did you guys do to treat it? Please help.
689655 tn?1227249113 Have you tried taking a probiotic (inner health plus/acidophillis/lactobascillis) in conjunction with the fluconazole? I used to get really bad thrush and I ended up taking a probiotic from the pharmacy and it worked really well.
869568 tn?1248372915 I think I might have a yeast infection or bacterial infection. I don't know for sure though. I made an appt with my doctor this morning around 10:45am so we'll see. I wondered, though, have any of you ever experienced this during pregnancy? Is this dangerous? I had a yeast infection once before a looooooooooong time ago and was treated with cream; is that safe during pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Also, if this was a fungal/yeast infection, would 4 weeks of fluconazole usually shift it if it's not resistant?
Avatar f tn I purchased a probiotic but didnt take it till after the 3rd day of medication and the damage was done already. I got a yeast infection and I have had one before due to antibiotics so I knew what it was. On Saturday the doctor prescribed me biaxin, a different antibiotic, and one dose of fluconazole 150mg. I am still taking the antibiotic for another week.
Avatar f tn And have been given fluconazole. I had a swab done after it came back twice, and it is just the normal yeast treatable with fluconazole. Well, it came back a 3rd and 4th time. My pcp gave me a few more pills and told me to take them once a week for a month to see if that was enough to kick it. Well, it’s back, again. I shower daily, I have not changed body washes or laundry detergent. No diet changes. I don’t understand what I’m doing.
Avatar f tn My doctor diagnosed me with a yeast infection two days ago. I took the one pill of Fluconazole she prescribed to me tuesday night. My itching has gone down very very slightly but the discharge and the redness are still in full swing. When should I start to feel better? Also: another question, my period is here so how should I deal with that plus a yeast infection? Any information is greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn Anyone has been prescribe terconazole for yeast infection? I'm 40w + 1day I'm 1ct dilated. Doctor prescribed it to me but I'm concerned to used it. Since I'm due any day now.
Avatar m tn There are some black and reddish rashes and burning sensation for 1 month! Doctor said its just a yeast infection and gave me 30 days medication! and 8 weeks Fluconazole 400 mg per week and an anti bacterial cream to apply on the penis head twice a day!! but i still feel that burning sensation occasionally and when i apply that cream that burning sensation is little bit higher!! How long it will take to cure yeast infection or bacterial infection on inner skin of penis head?
Avatar f tn I just talked to my OB about a yeast infection today. He perscribed me the same single dose pill. He said the pharmacy thinks it shouldn't be allowed but he said it was okay.
Avatar n tn Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this! I am 22 years old and have been dealing with on an off yeast infections for over a year. It all started out last March I got my first yeast infection and UTI at the same time from a Marathon, mind you I was a virgin at the time so it was not from sex. Following that I continued to get them on and off, after meeting my boyfriend and now being sexually active I get yeast infection every week.
Avatar m tn It most commonly occurs due to bacterial, viral or fungal infection. An intertrigo usually appears red and raw-looking, and may also itch, ooze, and be sore. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical zinc oxide cream like Sudocrem, Desitin are very helpful(apply with a paper towel and not directly with hands).
Avatar m tn (married people can spread it back in forth to each other, no sex for a week or two BTW) Shower and dry (really well the infected area, then apply cream and make sure it drys a little then go on your way. You can usually tell if its a yeast infection if you have a weird smell from your groin area, but not always. Jock itch is very common. Usually from the gym shower or equipment (ie football pads etc) This is treated the same way just get jock itch spray.
Avatar f tn If you have a yeast infection during pregnancy I think its normally just a cream that they provide you not.pills!
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn I think the diet goes for when you start getting them and I did not get a yeast infection ever until I had sex as well. So I am thinking that it could help. Although since I only get them when I take antibiotics I never paid attention to looking for the diet again. Although I am thinking it might help with my diet atm...
Avatar n tn While examining me the doctor said it looked like I had a yeast infection and after the pap results came out negative I called and asked why I was experiencing the itching and was then prescribed with the Fluconazole. Also I thought it was odd that while examining me the doctor didn't mention anything about the bumps so I wasn't sure if they were normal. They make the texture of the vagina feel gross. I'm afraid my boyfriend is going to think I have a disease.
