Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan for intestinal yeast

diflucan

Avatar n tn I am currently being treated with Diflucan and Cipro for an existing yeast problem. I am taking Diflucan for 30 days and Cipro for 10 days. This will give me some relief for about three or four months and then I will need to treat the problem again. Questions: Should I change the Diflucan/Cipro time schedule or try different drugs? Any other suggestion would be very much appreciated. I should note that I take enzymes with each meal (Digest Gold and Fenol) Thanks for any help, Sam.
Avatar n tn With yeast it would be stark white colored and if you scrape it off with a tongue scraper or toothbrush with the tongue cleaner on the back side it would be red and may bleed. I have a coated tongue for a couple of weeks too but mine is not yeast. Try gargling with salt water several times a day and see if it helps. Also difulcan if you have yeast. I would see a doctor about the white 1 cm thing to make sure it isn't something serious. They can then tell you if you have yeast.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn Just to be sure but nowhere in there did you mention being treated for candida? More antibiotics would only make it worse. Candida is yeast. Everyone, men and women, can get yeast infections or thrush. It is unlikely you got HIV with protected sex. Its a very low possibility, but you need significant fluid transfer. If you have not been treated, you may benefit from taking something like flucanazole (diflucan) for several days.
Avatar f tn Your normal bacterial flora in your intestines are getting unbalanced and/or you are losing some organisms due to the antibiotics. You should start taking probiotics. This will help get your normal bacteria back. But I would ask Metametrix if it will cause any problems with their test just to be sure. Also, you can take an oral antifungal but I wouldn't recommend it because they have bad side effects.
Avatar f tn Generally yeast infections require Nystatin swish and swallow, and Diflucan-which is an antimicrobial agent, if it is severe enough. You can also try using Monostat or Miconazole-that is generally used for vaginal yeast infections around your anal region as well and see if helps eliminate those symptoms. I Hope This Helps.
Avatar f tn My experience and reading leads me to believe that higher tendency towards easy triggers for candida or yeast is a part of CFS/Fibro. It can be unbelievable how much easier it is to get. Taking antibiotics, lack of genital ventilation or heavy perperation & heat, eating more sugars (or carbs that easily convert to sugar and don't forget sodas, sweet tea etc), sexual activity, and yeasty foods all contribute to yeast overrun.
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 f tn I have a yeast infection on my,I have taken meds for,but can't seen to get rid of it. I had 3 atacks of pain upper right side. I waited 9weeks to go to Dr. I didn't have INSURENCE. They said I had mild gastritis. Never mind the pain. I seem to be having a lot of little infection.Whent to the dentist 5days ago and got an abcess were I got the shot. These things have got to be related!
Avatar m tn I first found out when I went to planned parenthood and they gave me diflucan. Diflucan has never worked for me, so the next visit they gave me Gynazole 1, and a prescription for another Gynazole 1 if the yeast persisted. It did so i applied it then I applied various otc suppositories and I finally got rid of the yeast but developed BV. I went to a doctor and he gave me antibiotics that are usually given to treat trich even though I didn't have trich.
Avatar m tn What is the usual dosage for treatment of toenail fungus with Diflucan? My doctor prescribed it to me and it just seems to be different than normal. He said to take 100 mg/daily for the first 10 days of each month until it's gone. Is that a normal regimen?
475187 tn?1208154768 ve search on the internet and i found out about the Diflucan, that according to them will get rid of the yeast infection for just one dose, so we bought it and me and my husband took it, but it's been 3 days now and i still have the white discharge, does anybody tried Diflucan before? and how long it will take effect? or does it mean that it will not work on me? i don't want to try creams because it's messy.
Avatar n tn I had severe pseudomembranous colitis from clostridium difficile three years ago and have wondered if that has anything to do with the yeast infection. I have hypothyroidism, but have had it under control for three years with Synthroid. I have been on a no-carb diet along with an alkaline diet for five months. I gave up alcohol, coffee and sugar five months ago. I take Yeast-Cleanse, sublingual vitamin B, Biotin, Garlic, Acidolphus, Lactobacillus Sporogens, and Noni juice.
Avatar f tn since then i have been to my gyno who cultured my yeast infection and said best medication for it was diflucan, so he also prescribed me to diflucan for 7 days-never went away. then he again prescribed me diflucan 150 once for 3 weeks. never went away!!! this is my first yeast infection so i dont know why diflucan will not cure me. i am 22 years old, smoke and drink on the weekends, work out regularly, work nights, recently pretty stressed.
255722 tn?1452546541 Hi, I have same prob. After doc giving same treatment every time for yeast (vag cream..useless!) with diflucan, I have no improvement-never goes away. Yes-done the diet steering clear of sugar, carbs, etc. and do have a slight improvement during diet-but as soon as I start slowly introducing even healthy normal foods, it comes back. I'm also a lover of sweets & was hard for me-can't live completely without-don't know if I would want to!
548642 tn?1266179652 diflucan one dose but i still felt bad so he gave me diflucan week dose!!!
12182312 tn?1427683956 I'd wait out and use what the Dr prescribed. How long did he/she say it would take? If you just started, you should feel some relief soon.... Good luck...
Avatar n tn She also perscribed Diflucan since the antibiotic was strong and i tend to develop yeast infections. She told me to take the Diflucan after the 10 day antibiotic was thru. Day 2 on the antibiotic i engaged in oral sex with my boyfriend. By Day 4 i had a full blown yeast infection most likely from the combination of the oral sex and antibiotic. I took the Diflucan. Day 5 i got my period. What do i do now?? And can i re-fill my Diflucan to take when i am thru with the antibiotic??
Avatar f tn She recommended a gyn doctor that is good with diseases but he is no longer at the hospital she sent me too. I am constantly getting creams and diflucan for the yeast infections. I feel that my gyn is not meeting my need. I do not want to live on the creams and diflucan. I heard about a gyn on the radio that I would like to go to. I will make an appointment with her. I never took diflucan long term. I will get two diflucans at one time.
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 f tn I went to the dr last Thursday which is when I took the diflucan, a prescription antifungal. I don't really want to take more diflucan though, I'm more interested if anyone has tried and true methods to get rid of stubborn yeast infections. Thanks for your response, Cassandra, I forgot to mention I had been to the dr :-/ oops! They tested and it is definitely a yeast infection.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how long it usually takes for a yeast infection to clear up? I just popped my second week of Diflucan, and my symptoms are much better. My red, irritated, itchiness is gone...just stuck with that gross cottage cheese-like discharge. How long does it take to go away?
1472764 tn?1287588186 Diflucan is Pregnancy Category C which means it has not been studied in pregnant humans but has caused problems in studies with pregnancy animals. I found the following on women.emedtv.com "When given to pregnant rats or rabbits, Diflucan caused the following problems: Reduced weight gain in the mother Miscarriages Increased weight of the placenta Birth defects, such as cleft palate and head or face abnormalities.
Avatar f tn good move to get a new gyno why anyone would treat twice for an not seen yeast infection is beyond me...thats what diflucan is for too.If you see a discahrge that is rather thick and clumpy and white that is yeast, yeast typically itches like heck but not burning,,tell them you want a vaginal culture to determine the exact pathogen causing your discomfort and perhaps a repeat of the std scans.
