Common Questions and Answers about Dosage for diflucan for yeast infection

diflucan

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?
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?
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.
12182312 tn?1427683956 Hi guys. I'm suffering so bad here. I have a horrible yeast infection. I went to my doctor and she prescribed diflucan and also clomitozole?? (Sp)...I am so itchy and sore I want to cry. Should I try monistat 7. Or wait out the diflucan?. What works for you?

Avatar f tn I actually took yeast pills, azo makes them and that worked best for me.
Avatar n tn So I've had a yeast infection since I found out I was pregnant. My doctor finally gave me a prescription to get diflucan. But my insurance want pay for it because they he said it is a risk for the baby. Has this happened to anyone else? Or have you taken diflucan and everything turned out fine? Not to mention she only prescribe me 2 pills one every 24 hours and that's it.
Avatar f tn s possible that maybe you have a yeast infection and bacteria vaginosis. You would need medication for bv and yo help with the itching etc medication for yeast infection. Book with your doctor asap .
Avatar n tn It is true antibiotics can cause thrush for some people. But I am curious if your partner was treated for the yeast infection because if he wasn't then you will simply keep passing it back and forth to each other. You both need to be treated at the same time, and wait until you are both clear before resuming sexual intercourse.
Avatar f tn I too have been strugging with a yeast infection caused by antibiotics. I have been using Canesten for 4 weeks now. It gives me relief. I just started taking Acidophillus (probiotic). Seems to be helping (infection not yet gone but am feeling much better). As jess said, probiotics restore the good bacteria so it's worth a try. It's not harmful to the baby. You can take it pill form which is Acidophillus or by eating ALOT of probiotic yogurt. Cheaper to take the pill.
1472764 tn?1287588186 He should do a culture and sensitivity to make sure what he is dealing with. There is another yeast besides Albicans that can cause yeast infection Albicans is so common, they treat for that...the other is treated differently.
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.
Avatar n tn t adequately lubricated. My OB/GYN prescribed me with Diflucan, I took the dosage and it was gone. We had sex again, yeast infection came back, got another prescription, gone again. Had sex again, it came back AGAIN but this time I went to a different OB/GYN to get a second opinion. Turns out this time I had a yeast infection AND bacterial vaginosis. At this time I went and got tested to make sure I didn't have anything and I came back all negative.
557911 tn?1225980644 She called in a prescription for the yeast infection and it is only one pill. Can I assume it is safe to take the pill? I am afraid she is assuming I'm not pregnant so may not have worried about it, and she isnt the smartest doctor to be honest. I have an appointment with a new doc Monday, should I wait and check with them or just wait for the results from that appointment to come back next week?
Avatar m tn I've had a persistent yeast infection almost every month for nearly 3 years. I've had it tested over 5 times so I know it's candida with certainty. Diflucan sometimes helps for a short while, most of the time not at all. I'm trying it once more and thought maybe trying the miconazole suppositories a few days after the Diflucan may help. What's your opinion on this idea? Does anyone have any advice on recurrent yeast infections?
Avatar n tn I was on Augmentin (antibiotic) for a foot infection about a month ago and then soon started developing stomach cramps. I figured the cramps were related to what was wrong with my penis. The doctor said the antibiotics killed off the good AND bad bacteria in my stomach leaving me vulnerable to contracting this yeast infection, even on my penis head. Does this sound unusual, just kinda looking for opinions!
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.
Avatar f tn I have had a yeast infection for a year now. The doctors cannot get it to go away. I've been through ten plus Diflucans no results and suppositories no results. But my yeast infection only started after I took lamictal. Has anyone else had this problem? How did your doctors get your yeast to go away?
Avatar f tn It sounds as though it could possibly be herpes? You could google herpes and see what they look like and compare to what you have. Have you been to an obgyn? I would definitely suggest that. If it was a yeast infection the diflucan and creams should have worked. I"ve never heard of open sores with a yeast infection. I hope you start to feel better soon. I know it must be very painful. Let us know!!
Avatar f tn Hi...candida is yeast and it can cause all types of issues...DIFLUCAN is one of the best meds I know to help rid someone of excess yeast. There r also diet changes that can also help..... I am prone to yeast infections when taking antibiotics, and DIFLUCAN is the only thing that helps. As far as dosage, sorry I can not help...I would suggest asking a Pharmacist as they know meds and interaction and reactions better then most drs.
Avatar n tn I went to dr she said had yeast infection tested it on microscope and got treated with diflucan it went away and had sex and three days later i got another one. Could it be something else..
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?
Avatar n tn there are stronger medications your doctor can give you for a yeast infection like diflucan. it's just one pill. ask for that instead of buying over the counter stuff.
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 following up on my post -I still had some yeast and was given 2 diflucan pills and (on my request) I was given a yeast infection cream with steroids in it that I now apply weekly to prevent the tearing and everything's been ok since!
