Avatar m tn As far as the drugs.
Avatar f tn my dr gave me fluconazole for my infection ,3 pills in 3 days .should we skip or take it regular.because she told me take it wednesday ,thursday ,and sunday,,thank..
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 n tn Does a one time 150 mg dose of fluconazole for vaginal thrush affect the effectiveness of hormonal birth control (the pill)?
Avatar n tn He may instead prescribe a medication like Fluconazole which comes as a capsule. You can purchase Fluconazole 100mg (1 single dose) without a prescription from the pharmacist, but the doctor can prescribe a stronger and longer term use if this is required. Get it seen to so that you can get the correct diagnose and the correct treatment as soon as possible. Avoid kissing and oral sex to avoid passing it on.
1158461 tn?1262614392 For starters, I am 24 weeks pregnant. When I went for my check up, my OB/GYN told me that I had a vaginal infection. She prescribed me the Metronidazole vaginal gel to take for 5 days followed by a single dose of Fluconazole. My concern is about the "no sex" orders. I'm pregnant so my sex drive is out of this world. I understand that my boyfriend and I can't be intimate until the treatment is complete, but what about masturbation?
Avatar f tn Treatment involves getting an over the counter anti fungal from the pharmacy. 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.
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 Hello Doctor, I have been dealing with this penile yeast infection for a few months now. There is no discomfort and the only symptoms are some discoloration on the head of my penis and raised skin around my pee hole. There was, however, some discomfort in the beginning. As for treatment, I was given a single dose of Fluconazole which didn't work. Two weeks later, I was given another dose. No help.
Avatar f tn Typically a single dose is sufficient- you then need to give it time to heal. As I said before however, I think it would be a good idea for you to see one of your doctors again rather than self medicate.
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 n tn I was able to get in to the doctor two days later and he was not able to tell if Ihad an STD or other bacterial infection. He prescribed a single dose treatment of 2* 400 mg of Floxstat. It has been about 72 hours since I saw the doc and I still have to use the bathroom frequently and have the dull pain in my side. Could I still have an STD. He said if I had an STD (Gon or Chlam) the Floxstat would kill it in a few days. Please advise it has been a week since sex.
Avatar m tn You can purchase 100mg Fluconazole that is a 1 single dose treatment without a prescription from the pharmacy. You will need to check with the pharmacist as I do not know which country you are in. You can also purchase antifungal creams specifically to apply to the genitals. Your doctor can prescribe a longer course of the antifungals if you need them. It is very common to get fungal infections when using antibiotics. Don't have any sex until you are well clear.
Avatar f tn Your doctor can also prescribe an antifungal medication to take by mouth. You can also purchase 100mg Fluconazole a one single dose oral capsule without a prescription, but I feel that you will require a stronger dose and a longer course than one day. Ask your doctor to take a skin swab to identify that you do have a fungal problem and/or any other bacteria on those skin areas, so that you can get the appropriate treatment.
Avatar f tn This comes in capsule form that you can also buy from the pharmacy without prescription. There is Fluconazole 150mg that is a single dose oral capsule and Fluconazole 50mg that comes in a pack of 7 which one capsule is taken daily for the 7 days. If you are sexually active, it would be a good idea to get checked out for any STD and also have your blood tested for diabetes.
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 m tn You can also get antifungal medications that come as oral capsules. Sometimes 1 single dose is sufficient, sometimes you may need a longer dose and the doctor would prescribe this if he/she felt it was required.
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 You can also be prescribed and purchase without a prescription 100mg of Fluconazole 1 single dose capsule from the pharmacy. You may be able to purchase a stronger dose but I am not certain. Your doctor can prescribe a stronger dose and for you to take it for much longer.
Avatar f tn hello dr 4 weeks ago i had protected sex in a massage parl right after finish she wipe me with a cloth later that night i started feeling a tingling sensation on my testicles it went to for about a week than i had a rash of small dots on my penis eent to the doctor and gave me a pill of fluconazole and antifungal cream but its been almost a month and it hasnt help am super worried the doctor told me it doesnt look like herpes cause i dont have any blisters just dots on my penis and that herpes w
Avatar n tn You can purchase from the pharmacy a medication called Fluconazole 100mg which is a single dose capsule that you swallow with a glassful of water. There are creams and pessaries that can be used, but as your period is due any time using a pessary may not be a good idea. Do have a chat with the pharmacist who will be able to advise you. As your period is due any day now, the cramping is due to that.
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.
