Common Questions and Answers about What is fluconazole use for

diflucan

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 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 For yeast infections I was always given either monistat or fluconazole. A bacterial infection like BV would require metronidazole (flagyl).
Avatar f tn So a month ago I noticed my younger was completely coated in something white, so I went to my schools health office and they said it was an oral thrush infection. They gave my a swish anti fungal medicine which I have now run out of. There is still an overgrowth of yeast on my tongue though. I've never experienced this before last month. My dentist said because I don't feel any burning sensation and the coating isn't thick like cottage cheese, then it's nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn No, it is likely a new yeast infection after taking flagyl. Retreat for the flagyl. BV can happen on its own or it can be passed partner to partner. I would always use a condom. But you likely got another yeast overgrowth situation after taking the antibiotic for the bv.
Avatar n tn The syringes from the hospital would have been sterile and are for one time use only so no risk there.Why do you think your husband put you at risk?What was his exposure?
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 A month ago I self diagnosed and treated a yeast infection based on my previous yeast infection (diagnosed by a doctor a few years ago). I treated with Monistat (miconazole)cream, which mostly cleared up my symptoms. I still felt somewhat irritated down there so I went to the doctor. She took a swab sample that came back negative for yeast/bacteria/gonorrhea/chlamydia.I felt fine for 2 weeks, then felt intense burning during intercourse . A few days after that, the itch was back.

Avatar n tn I took fluconazole Monday for bladder yeast infection have some relief , but not 100% better yet. What should I do?
Avatar f tn Sorry if this is too much tmi; currently 11wks 4dys..i went to see my OB Monday b/c i had been experiencing some discharge, after intercourse it would be swollen and seemed to be imflammaed & irratated, my OB did a pelvic exam and there was no uti, yeast infection, std, or any other type of infection..he said he looked like leukerrohea which he said was normal during pregnancy its just my body cleaning itself from all the extra estrogen and hormones that my body is producing.
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 f tn As long as you are not pregnant, there will not be any adverse effects. I only mention pregnancy, because it was prescribed by an OBGYN. Fluconazole is generally not safe in pregnancy unless in a severe emergency. But Propranolol and Fluconazole taken together will not interact with each other.
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 He is Rxing fluconazole for 6 weeks, one tab a day, 100mg. Is this safe? I am healthy for the most part, 40 yr old female with Hashimoto's. My main symptom is chronic stomach bloating. He is doing an ultrsound and x-ray of abdomen as well but wanted to get advice on this long term use of fluconazole. Thank you for your time.
Avatar f tn Hi, We are not doctors on these forums but I am a microbiologist and will try to help. Did the doctor think it was a fungus or a yeast? Did they culture it? Is it on the outer skin or inside? I think the drug may have made you sensitive or allergic possibly. You can try another type of drug that is not ending in azole as the fungi get resistant to these. One is Lamisil (terbinafine). It is an over the counter cream (topical) or maybe they have a spray. Use it as directed.
Avatar m tn So I was diagnosed with a yeast infection earlier in the month and was prescribed fluconazole for it. But a few days later I seen my partner again and we did it without protection and he thinks he has it as well.
Avatar m tn Doing a very quick search for Zolax, the information below is what I found. Since India was not listed, I have no idea what may be in the medication you are taking or it's possible side effects. I agree with the above posters that you need to take these questions and concerns to your doctor. Peace Greenlydia Zolax is NOT known to be marketed in the USA. Zolax may be available in the countries listed below.
Avatar f tn thanks for your answer but if i had fungus woldnt the lotrimon or the fluconazole would cleared them by now?
Avatar m tn Around Nov. 2010, I had sex with a girl, who bit me during oral sex & ever since then, I’ve had problems. My penis size has decreased (I was 5.2-6.2 inches long before any of this has happened) now I am 4-4.5 inches. Sometimes my penis skin feels tight like it can't go longer, but I'm circumcised. Before any of this happened, I’d have delayed ejaculation, but now I have premature ejaculation, & I'm having difficulty getting & maintaining erections.
Avatar f tn As for where to stick the tampon. Once again a good anatomy book that tells you where everything is will be really helpful and once you have read it, go and get a mirror and find all those things on yourself. This is just learning about your anatomy and I'm pretty sure the catholic church doesn't condemn a bit of knowledge. And with the coeliac disease. Start your gluten free diet now. Today preferably.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the input. Stopping Fluconazole is not an option for me at this time. I should mention I have a ICD. It was placed in May of this year. It shocked me 3 weeks ago while I was playing on-line video games. I think when I got excited and my heartrate rose, instead of returning to a normal hr, it reached 288 BPM, thats when the therapy was delivered. Gotta love that phrase... anyway, doctor says I can't drive for a little while...*******.
Avatar f tn Not one of them can offer me any advice on how to rid myself of this painful illness, except for advising me to use antifungals on a regular basis. I find that fluconazole (Diflucan) works better than any of the others I've tried except Mycelex troches (which helps somewhat). In spite of trying yogurt, lactobacillus pills, caprylic acid, and eating less sugary food, and taking 150 mg of fluconazole daily for a over a week, the infection always returns.
Avatar f tn 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... and now even though I have completed the antibiotics I have been experiencing some of the same symptoms along with hives/welts here and there on my arms, legs, forehead really all over my body.
Avatar n tn It is sold in powder packets for humans for poison ivy but what you do is mix a 1packet with about 6-8oz of luke warm water and use an oral syringe and squirt it into the dogs ears twice a day. Massage the ear real good and wipe out solution and gunk with some gauze. This will help change the ph in the ear and dry it out but use solution for one day then mix fresh the next day. Do this before putting the drops in that you get from your vet.
Avatar n tn Could be a fungal infection (thrush) - taking oral fluconazole (available from pharmacies without prescription in most countries) should clear it up.
Avatar m tn i already did and he says the test for fungus is negative and the fluconazole pills for fungus that he gave me didnt do anything which prob means theres no fungus to kill. could it be bacterial???
Avatar m tn I am a 27 years old uncircumcised Single male. Last year in July had sex with a call girl and condom got ruptured. After a month I went for HIV tests which were negative. In september I saw a white spot on my penis glans. I visited a urologist and he said that it was balanitis. He asked me to apply clotrimazole and take fluconazole tableets orally. But it didn;t help and penis glans soon filled with rashed. I visited another doctor who said that it is Erythroplasia of Queyrat.
