Common Questions and Answers about Fluconazole over counter

diflucan

Avatar f tn I think she mentioned that she could prescribe a cream. Is there a difference between over the counter creams vs prescription creams prescribed by a doctor?
Avatar f tn Sounds crazy but I've battled them a lot this pregnancy and have been told to pick up over the counter treatments. The 3 day treatment. But I was also told by my ob that inserting yogurt yes yogurt 1 tablespoon every other day is a natural cure. I was skeptical but its worked for me.
Avatar n tn I searched for the tampon, didnt find it but found lots of white substance. I want to treat it with over the counter meds, but what if it truly is a tampon still there?
Avatar f tn I agree, it could be thrush. All the treatments are over the counter. You can get the tablet (fluconazole) or any of the creams or pessaries ie Canesten over the counter at the pharmacy.
Avatar f tn She told yes but their not recommended for pregnant woman. So she told me to use one of the over the counter treatments like monistant (not sure if spelled correctly) I personally wouldn't risk taking it. Even the pharmacists told you its not recommended. And like I mentioned my doc also said its not recommended.
869568 tn?1248372915 the cream over the counter inserts are safe during pregnancy. You are just not supposed to take the pull diflucan/fluconazole.
Avatar f tn I had to buy over the counter drug Diflunac (fluconazole) which i took yesterday but the rashes are still present. They are painless rashes with no sore, looks more like the colour of my labia skin though the itching has reduced but im' not comfortable with the rash. Plus i sometimes have this tingling sensation in my vagina. Don't konw what that means. Please help. Thanks in anticipation.
Avatar m tn Ask a pharmacist since this is sold over the counter they can answer that question for free. Or do what I do call a 24 hour one that is in a different area and ask on phone do you do not need to be embarrassed.
Avatar n tn Could be thrush and you need to be treated with an antifungal like fluconazole (single does tablet) or clotrimazole (if you prefer a cream or pessary). Both available over the counter. If the area is tender than urinating will irritate it and make it sting. But it could also be something else. Have you been having unprotected sex because there's the risk of an STD? Probably worth you going to your doctor but might be worth trying the antifungal.
Avatar f tn You could have thrush that needs to be treated with an over the counter antifungal. You may want to take a tablet (ie fluconazole) or use a cream or pessary (ie clotrimazole). What did the doctor say when you saw him the last time. But at any rate you probably need to see someone and get it diagnosed.
525485 tn?1314361301 I know that during pregnancy, you are allowed to use Monistat or over the counter treatments similiar to monistat (store brands) to treat yeast infections, but I was wondering if there were any oral medications you can take. 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.
Avatar n tn t know which country you live in, but in the UK you can Canesten, Canesten HC and Trimovate. Some you can buy over the counter, other medications can only be prescribed by the doctor. If you are sexually active, make sure your partner is treated too, otherwise you just spread it to each other. Make sure you wear cotton underwear and do not use soaps, bubble baths, shower gels or feminine sprays down below. This changes the PH level down below and aggravates the condition.
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 stop with the presacriptions and use the good ol fashioned over the counter 7 day treatment but buy 2-3 boxes just incase if u don't notice immediate relief from over the counter stuff I am confused but u have to use it every day for 7-14 days most likely u will need 2 boxes if u had it that long but I do know ppl with regular yeast infections that did not go away w fluconazole or ne scripts infact theyd make them worse and those ppl would only see relief from over the counter topical insert
Avatar f tn m a pharmacy technician I know about different meds this one unit dose pill called fluconazole I took that when I had a yeast due to the fact those otc over the counter meds burn the heck out of me.. so I asked my doctor to prescribe that for me... Talk to your doctor but if you used the otc monistat stick with it if it don't cause you any problems but that pill is a one time thing not a three day thing..
Avatar f tn Yep sounds like thrush (yeast infection). All you need to do to treat it is to get an antifungal from the chemist. They are generally available over the counter so you don'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 I do not believe that fluconazole is available over the counter. There should be no difference if you can get it that way however. All drugs have side effects but among them fluconazole is quite well tolerated. Some fungal infections can be resistant to common topical antifungal creams. The reason I suggested fluconazole is that resistance is rather rare while iti si more common to several of the more widely used topical creams.
Avatar f tn You can buy these over the counter from the pharmacy. 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.
Avatar f tn Flagyl almost always causes yeast overgrowth so even though you treated yourself with over the counter medication the fact that you began Flagyl/Metronidazole after the fact possibly caused the overgrowth of yeast again. If there's ever a next time, ask your doctor to prescribe fluconazole/Diflucan - or use the 3 or 7 day over the counter treatment. Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat vaginal yeast infections.
Avatar f tn Anyone have experience with any over the counter depression medicine that works well?
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.

Avatar n tn Hello, Jock itch is treated with one of two types of antifungal medications — azoles or allylamines.In severe cases of jock itch, or doesn't respond to over-the-counter medicine, you may need a prescription-strength topical or oral medication.
Avatar m tn If it feels very severe you should go to you gynecologist. Otherwise, try using over the counter medication like Monistat, and it should clear up in 1 - 3 days.
Avatar f tn Take over the counter monistat cream inserts. Or you can use the generic store brand.. You will find it in the isle near the pregnancy tests and things of that nature. Look for monistat.....there are a bunch of different kinds...1 days...3 days....7 days.....and below that you can find the generic brands of monistat..... This is the only thing you can use during pregnancy to get rid of a yeast infection, and unfortunately, its not a pill you take orally. They are inserts that you use vaginally.
Avatar f tn I would have just tried the over the counter Lamisil since it is the alternative to the resistant types but if you want to try the Itraconazole you can. Did you tell the doctor you might be allergic to the fluconazole or that you had a reaction to it? Since it is in the same class of drugs it make cause the same type of reaction. That is why I also suggested the Lamisil.
