Avatar f tn Fluconazole is an antifungal and one pill stays in the blood stream for 3 days. It is normal to take a 'loading dose' the first time which helps get a jump start on the infection. I would take it as the doctor directed. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Does a one time 150 mg dose of fluconazole for vaginal thrush affect the effectiveness of hormonal birth control (the pill)?
Avatar f tn ) They took a swab and said it the results said no it wasn’t a yeast infection, but she said yes she was sure I had had one. I took she told me to take the second dose of fluconazole, which I did that day. Then my itching came back. I still had mild irritation and itching on day two of the fluconazole second dose so I went and bought Monostat3. My concern is why isn’t it completely going away?
Avatar m tn Anyone ever take fluconazole 150mg oral pill for a yeast infection in their first trimester. I phoned a pharmacist and he said it was fine and all the research I've done says as long as it's not in high doses the baby should be ok, but I am having some major anxiety.
Avatar f tn Have any of you ladies taken a single dose of fluconazole 150 mg during pregnancy?
Avatar m tn This time I took fluconazole 150 mg that my doctor prescribed at the last visit. I even took a second dose 72 hours later and I am still having itching, redness, and soreness. I am scared now, I don't know why fluconazole isn't working (it worked for me in the past). What else can I use? I feel out of options, since fluconazole failed. It can't be bacterial, because discharge is white and odorless.
Avatar m tn m self-diagnosing and is not willing to make this change in the type of B12 or in the loading dose. I AM NOT going to regress and go back to the way I was feeling. I am a very active person and I am a triathlete. Both my personal, professional and married life are being negatively affected. I am aware that you can order B12 injections (hydroxy and methyl) from Canada, New Zealand, and India; however, I am wary to circumvent the health system and possibly inject myself with heaven knows what!
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm 32 yrs old and a mother of two. The youngest is 14months. I know that I'm supposed to have hairloss after birth, but I noticed that it was turning into patches of baldness. I've tried to better my diet and when doing a bit of research, found that one of the side effects of taking fluconazole was hair loss. I've immediately stop taking this and want to know if my hairloss situation should get better.
Avatar f tn A 1998 review concurred with this assessment (15).

Avatar f tn 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.
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 m tn Usually for most fungal infection the fluconazole dose would need to be taken twice a week for 2-3 weeks. However, please ask your doctor before stepping up the dose. If you plan to test for the cause, it is best to avoid using any anti-fungal r antibacterial for at least 72 hours. You can give a swab test and a urine test after this.
787406 tn?1339203183 Dear Kanta and Iris, I also have 5 chronic tendonitis. ;( My new dr did all kinds of tests which revealed low VitD level even though the test was done right after i finished a 8wk course of 50000 IU PER WK of VitD2 prescribed by my old doctor. My new doc then told me to take VitD3 5000U daily = 35000 PER WK.
Avatar f tn The cream that you require is called Canesten and the oral one dose capsule is called Fluconazole. The Fluconazole costs around £10 in the UK. The doctor can prescribe stronger creams on prescription if the Cansten does not work. As a home remedy, apply natural live set yogurt to your sore area after washing with water and gently drying. Your boyfriend may also need to be treated even if he does not have any symptoms. Your doctor will be able to advise you on this.
Avatar f tn It said my PH was normal so I began Monistat 7 day. I have now had 6 doses of that, and my Doctor prescribed me Fluconazole. I took that almost 72 hours ago and it feels like since all this treatment, the itching is just worse. It now itches more inside too. When should i get some relief? She said if the fluconazole doesn't work in 3 days to take a second dose, which I will do today. Is this all normal? I'm a virgin so it's nothing sexually transmitted.
Avatar f tn I completed my last dose of metronidazole 4 days ago and also took fluconazole after completion. I noticed a yellow tint on both sides of my tongue the Friday I completed the last pill and took the fluconazole. I was instructed to take metronidazole 2times daily for 7 days. During the time taking it i experienced pain in muscles, jaw pain, headaches, dizziness, sweating, pebble like stool...

Avatar f tn Later she told me that she has got an sti and her gynac has prescribed a dose of fluconazole and anti fungal steroid cream and has asked me to do the same. I did as she prescribed and after that started applying coconut oil on my glans and penile head. Later after some time i started observing little red nerves kind of things appearing during masturbation with little bumps. Can someone please diagnose this problem.
Avatar m tn I used to have problems with yeast before so I thought it may be yeast infection. I took 300mg single dose of fluconazole and used canesten cream. I was sort of expecting significant improvement. That didn't happen. It seems to be little bit better, but it does not seem to heal as fast as I would expect after taking fluconazole. Now I am concerned it may be herpes. How long after onset of first symptoms (red patches) would blisters appear? Would they always appear?
Avatar f tn He gets an injection every 2-3 weeks as needed....I never wait a month as then you have lost the effect of the loading dose.....However, there are many that give it at 5-6 weeks faithfully & it seems to work...Again, each dog is different.... My Vet sells me the liquid Adequan and Syringes....I give the injections myself...This saves a tremendous amount of money!!!! I buy about 10 doses at a time for around $50..... Most Vets are willing to do this for their clients......
Avatar f tn Hello I'm going to be having 3 stents inserted into my arteries in a couple of weeks time. My specialist (who will be carrying out the procedure) has asked me to take 600mg of clopigdogrel and 600mg of asprin the night before the procedure, and I'm a bit worried about doing this. Is it normal practice? I currently take 75mg of clopidogrel every day.
Avatar f tn At the time, I had BV, but I cleared that with antibiotics. I also tested positive for a yeast infection and went through three rounds of Fluconazole since it wouldn’t clear. That was in September. It finally cleared in December and I’ve been on Fluconazole for suppressive therapy for a yeast infection for about a week now. I’ll continue that for six months taking one pill each week. I also had a Pap smear in November that was normal, so I don’t think it’s HPV.
Avatar f tn Hi, my endocrinologist recommended to my doctor that I should be taking 20,000IU vitamin D loading dose over 7 weeks for level of 25 nmol/L. Being on 1600IU suddenly failed to improve my level after years of being on 800IU. Ranges: (75 adequate) To 49 nmol/L, what it is now. Should it be higher than this? Thank you.
Avatar f tn Yea.. just speak to your doctor tomorrow and ask can you have fluconazole unit dose it's a one time use tablet to treat yeast... Aka fungal infections...
