Fluconazole diflucan treatment

Common Questions and Answers about Fluconazole diflucan treatment

diflucan

Avatar n tn No really recommended, but it helps eating plain yogurt or even apply it external helps treating yeast (candida) infection. Diflucan/Fluconazole is still your best bet. Plain Yogurt is the super sour tasting one with no sugar. Sugar helps those bacterias to grow, so stay away from the sweet stuff..
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 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).
Avatar f tn hmmm... what form of terconazole did he write you? diflucan is fluconazole, another anti-fungal. so if the terconazole didn't work, i don't know if the fluconazole will. and they both are category C during pregnancy. it's safer to use anti-fungals in cream or suppository form as they would then not enter the blood stream and carry the potential to cross the placental barrier. But i don't know...
Avatar f tn My doc usually calls me in terconazole goo, he said the diflucan or fluconazole pill isnt allowed during pregnancy which ***** because having a yeast infection isnt bad enough,add dealing with the goo treatment to it.
Avatar f tn Background info: I was given 3, 150 mg Fluconazole tabs to take, every other day. I started this Tuesday, I have taken 2 pills and will take my last one Saturday. My question is, before I started the medicine, my symptoms were pretty consistent with that of a mild Yeast infection: minor swelling, and my cervix was covered in thick, clumpy white discharge. No pronounced itching or burning, but some slight redness.
938326 tn?1300878804 that is what I used with my first pregnancy. You cannot take diflucan/fluconazole (pills) but you can use OTC insertables...such as monistat or a store brand.
20797525 tn?1510602613 I have had candida for a little over a year now. It all started with strep throat that I required penicillin to combat. Penicillin helped but never fully eliminated the problem. I began to notice a lot of itching underneath my left arm. A few times I would put deodorant on and it would sting to high heaven. Then I noticed that classic yeast smell. I tried all types of treatments with no result, relief or answers.
Avatar f tn 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 n tn You can get something like a cream (Canesten, Monistat) or you can get fluconazole (Diflucan) which is a tablet. The tablet takes a little longer to work as it needs to get into your bloodstream first. The cream gives you relief faster.
4928337 tn?1362751166 Yes its diflucan the main ingredient is fluconzole my father in law just told me to take it lol I trust his opinion as a Dr I'm just anal lol
Avatar m tn You don't need to take fluconazole (Diflucan); it wouldn't make any difference in your wife's risk for recurrent infection. Women do not acquire yeasts from their partners. Yeast is present all the time -- it resides normally in the vagina, rectum, on the skin, etc. When an apparent new yeast infection appears, it arises from within -- i.e. the yeast already there grows to larger numbers or causes more inflammation.
Avatar f tn You can use a cream or pessary ie clotrimazole (Canesten) or take a single dose tablet ie fluconazole (Diflucan). At the same time you might want to take some probiotics to help recolonise the good bacteria in your gut.
525485 tn?1314361301 I know that you cant take diflucan (fluconazole ~generic for diflucan) but I was wondering if there was anything else. My doctors office is not open yet so I will be calling them when they are available, but was wondering if any of you ladies knew anything about this. Any help would be much appreciated!

Avatar m tn m contacting you to inform you I received a prescription of a single dose of diflucan (Fluconazole) from my urologist, so I should be on the right track! I wasn't able to get any Viagra yet, but I did get a free trial of Cialis. would that work for the 5 PDE? There's one problem that's bothering me though. Lately, sperm has been leaking from my penis a lot (ex. I'll just be sitting down and I can feel it coming out for no reason).
Avatar f tn It also has some anti-candida effect, and it says when combined with fluconazole (Diflucan), it works well on Diflucan strains of the yeast. I hadn't heard of taking Xylitol, although I have taken Stevia in the past. I felt a bit crummier for the first month of taking Stevia. Later I read that Eva Sapi had seen it kill some spirochetes and cysts in the lab. I figured the extra fatigue and brain fog I had was the die off. After that eased up, it didn't seem to benefit me anymore.
Avatar f tn ve had 4 different doctors look at my penis and they all say it looks normal and suggested I had a mild yeast infection on the glans of my penis due to the cracking and some patches that appeared. I was prescribed Diflucan (fluconazole) and also applied anti fungal cream for a week. After a week, it didn't really do much. I feel as if the brown color of my penis makes it easy for dermotologists and the doctors to overlook what i KNOW i see.
Avatar n tn Cetirizine (Zyrtec) 10mg 1 tab a day for a month for allergic reactions; Fluconazole (Diflucan) 100mg 1 tab immediately for Fungal infection; and Prednisone (Deltasone) 20 mg 1 tab a day for 3 days; which he wants me to use only if the others don't work due to the steroid nature. He also recommended Ammonium Lactate (Amlactin) 12% lotion. I tried it but it seemed to redden the skin and increase swelling so I went to the Vaseline Intensive Care lotion I always use. I will see how it works.
Avatar m tn I've had this irritation in the area under my foreskin for over a year now. A fungal cream seems to keep it at bay and I've even taken Diflucan/Fluconazole (200 mg daily) for a week. They seem to help but yet it comes back. It's manageable and I can masturbate (with some temporary redness and slight burning sensation).
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 f tn t need to go to the doctor. You can get a once only tablet (fluconazole - Diflucan) or you can use a cream or pessary such as canesten (clotrimazole). It is very common to get thrush after antibiotics as they kill off all the good bacteria and allow there to be an overgrowth of Candida (the yeast that causes thrush).
Avatar f tn Hi - We don't look at pics here. We aren't doctors, and sure wouldn't disagree with a doctor who has actually examined you. If your doc thinks shaving bumps, it's probably shaving bumps. Add the irritation from monistat (and doesn't that stuff BURN), and a yeast infection, and I'm sure you're quite irritated. Ask your doctor for oral fluconazole.
