For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The past few days I've had this horrible yeast infection. Thankfully this pill exists because I wanted to cry earlier from being so uncomfortable. My doctor gave me this 1 pill and I felt relief within the first hour. I have no doubts that I'll be 100% within a day or two. Oh! And I didn't experience any side effects."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I too had a rash close to my vagina, a pretty bad one & my gynecologist said it was bacterial vaginosis along with a yeast infection. It was my 1st infection so I had no idea what was going on. She prescribed me metronidazole 500 mg for 7 days, on day 4 I took Diflucan 1, on day 7 I took another Diflucan 1, three days later I took my last one. I didn't start seeing results until I was taking both medications together. For those of you who have to pay for your medicine go on their website they have a $5 off coupon."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Fluconazole caused side effects of drowsiness, stomach ache, diarrhea, confusion, dizziness, panic attack, fast heart beat, chills, all in less than 24 hours of taking this 150 MG one dose pill. I will never accept this antifungal in my body again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I took this medication last night 22nd of July 2019 cause I’ve been suffering from yeast infection for 3 months now and I really don’t know what to do. When I search in the internet Diflucan is best for this treatment. The next morning I am now relieved from itchiness I never thought it will go away. I have no side effects whatsoever. I recommend this meds for YI. FYI: This medicine is only one time dose."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I took this pill on Friday it is now Sunday and I'm still having all symptoms. It has not done anything for me. I have another refill for it I will get today and if it does not help I will be going back to get something else. This is my first yeast infection and they are nasty little demons."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got this one oral pill 150 mg. prescribed by my OBGYN yesterday to treat my 1st time yeast infection. Dr. told me to wear 100% cotton underwear for 2 weeks. ALways drying the area well after shower with a clean dry towel, plus using hair dryer blew it dry (use regular air, not hot air). Then, applying baby diaper rash cream (like Desitin) all around that area on both side. Finally, taking a cup of yogurt everyday. I asked if I could take probiotic, she said it's fine. After taking the pill yesterday morning. Last night, I didn't wake up until 5:30 am. Late morning, there was still some itchiness, but not too severe. I hope it will get better tomorrow. So far, I haven't felt any side effects. Good luck, everyone!"

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had what felt like a moderate yeast infection. I was given Terazole 3 at first but had the most horrible allergic reaction that made my yeast infection symptoms increase 100x. I have never felt misery like that in my LIFE, it felt like my insides and outsides were trying to kill me. I was switched to the single dose of 150mg Diflucan and my symptoms improved by half within 24 hours and only got better from there. It took about a week for all discomfort (including the occasional minor itch) to completely disappear."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Took the pill Tuesday night, felt somewhat relieved on Wednesday night but slight irritation and itch but no more discharge. I recommend you try to keep the area clean and dry. It really helps always towel dry after every shower with separate clean towel."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Awesome medication. I got a really bad yeast infection that kept coming back after two Z-packs. I took three, three days apart and it completely got rid of it. The inflammation lingered for a bit because the tissue was damaged, which is apparently normal according to WebMD and my doctor. Once I got an upset stomach from taking it, but that could have easily been avoided if I ate something with it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I never had so many yeast infections as I have had in the past year. Was on long course of antibiotics. Just a warning in December thought I had yeast infection and it was terrible. By the time I got to doctor it was actually bacterial vaginosis. Had to take Flagyl. If you have an unusually severe yeast infection, get checked. However anytime I did use fluconazole it works great."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got a yeast infection for the first time. Holy moly those things are horrible. Be patient. It works differently for everyone. I did see relief the first day. And more relief everyday. I felt normal after a week. I would take this again if I had to. No side effects for me."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is my second time taking Diflucan. I had an allergic reaction to medication. My reaction was not listed as their side effects. I instantly started having stinging in my lips. Later that day my lips were swollen. My tonsils started to get sore. My vagina is swollen, extreme itching, and painful. It made me develop hemorrhoids. It has been two days and my symptoms are worse. I am athletic and drink a lot of water. I should’ve never developed hemorrhoids. The itching is unbearable. I am now using otc creams for the discomfort. I’ve had STD testing for HIV, Gonorrhea, Chylmidia, RPR, and HSV. Everything was negative. Be cautious of this medication."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've had the yeast infection from hell. Finally went to the dr and got Diflucan. I am on my 2nd pill with a 7 day regimen. Almost no itching and starting to feel so much better! Also a little tip; orajel has worked MUCH better for the itching and pain than anything meant for the vag. My dr recommended this. Who knew? :)"

For Oral Thrush "A few days after finishing a round of antibiotics (metronidazole) I started to get oral thrush. I took two rounds of nystatin (oral rinse) and still had the thrush. Doctor prescribed fluconazole (150mg for 7 days) - thrush responded very well but at the end of the duration it started to come back. Dr called in another prescription (150mg for 5 days) and so far my oral thrush is gone (I've been done with the prescription for 4 days). The only side effect I have noticed is a 'side stitch/pinch/ache' type feeling. It's mild but noticeable and started the day I took the fluconazole and continues today. I've read it can stay in your system for 7 days so hoping the pain goes away very soon."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First time with a yeast infection .Took my first dose of fluconazole on day one with minimal results and second dose of 150 mg 48 hours latter and at day 5 I am feeling things are almost back to normal . Reading the other posts from ladies continually having repeat episodes of this I feel for you . Have any of your partners been treated or assessed for a yeast infection ?As you are back to normal he or she may have been infected by you especially if you do not use protection when you are infected and have sex .You could have picked it up from them if they don’t know they have one ? You may be swapping it back and forth between each other if you are both not treated . Go to your health care providers and your partner and discuss this and perhaps your partner needs to be treated too !!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The BEST treatment for simple yeast infection. One pill, and symptoms are gone in 2 days or less. I have never experienced any side effects at all from this medication, and I am so thankful there is such a simple solution for clearing up a yeast infection. The creams they sell at drug stores don’t seem to do a lot for me and they are messy and expensive."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Whenever I have a urinary tract infection, a yeast infection is sure to follow and this time, instead of buying the 3 day treatment of Canesten that you insert inside (which has always worked well the first day), I tried the one pill. No side effects. However I my vagina is still itchy, burning and rubbing it no longer provides any relief anymore. Going back to the doctor, hoping for something stronger."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am prone to yeast infections. Not super prone. But I usually get about 3 yeast infections a year, more if I have infections that require antibiotics. Rarely does over the counter medication work for me, plus I just hate how gross, messy, and how long it takes to clear up with the over the counter suppositories. This medication Diflucan is really a god send because the minute I feel it coming on I take it and symptoms are gone super quickly and with NO MESS. I honestly don't notice any side effects. I might get an upset stomach but I usually get that from the antibiotics that give me the yeast infection to begin with."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had to have oral surgery, and took amoxicillin for two weeks. The dentist prescribed fluconazole, I got the generic. I've used Diflucan in the past with great success. It seems that the generic does NOT work as well as the name brand. Three days/three pills later, I'm still suffering with the yeast infection symptoms."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "After taking fluconazole for 4 months at varied strengths it was apparent it wasn’t working, the side effects are horrid and found even at 50mg I was still feeling extremely queasy on them. Also note they do contain lactose which can upset your digestive system if sensitive. Anyway after many trips to GP, gyne, gum clinic it was then decided to check the strain of yeast I had - turns out I don’t have the normal albicans but instead glabrata which is highly resistant to azole medications. So for anyone taking fluconazole and it’s not working det them to check the strain you have as maybe it’s just a resistant strain , 10 months on and only just able to get the medication needed to beat this beast ... nystatin ."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I started showing symptoms of a yeast infection after being on antibiotics for about 5 days, which is a common side effect. My doctor prescribed this pill. I took it and I had almost complete relief the next night. I took it Wednesday evening around 4 and by Thursday night I felt a lot of improvement. It is now Sunday & I feel 100% back to normal and I'm still on my antibiotics. This pill stays in your system for several days which is why it is so effective. I highly recommend this. I will never use OTC Medicines again."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I originally had a UTI and was prescribed antibiotics for 5 days. About two days later I started itching and the doctor prescribed me this drug. I kid you not I was sooooooooo dizzy I thought I was going to fall over. It didn't matter if I was standing up or sitting down. The dizziness was freaking horrible. Oh, I only had one dose of it and I'm still itching like crazy"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had got a yeast infection from eating too many sweets in one week. I had like a pie and a cheesecake everyday. I tried plain yogurt, garlic, and monistat and it appeared that everything had cleared up. But having unprotected intercourse with my fiancé, I gave him a yeast infection, finally went to the clinic and it went from a severe to minor yeast infection, I paid 80 for this pill, it worked wonderful. the drug stayed in my system for 7 days clearing up my yeast infection. Now that I know they have it at Walmart I'll get a prescription and buy it from there."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "After taking antibiotics I usually get a yeast infection so I take diflucan once when meds are gone. Almost always stops itching in 24 hours and disappears completely by day 2. Only once was it so bad I had to take it twice. Best cure ever. And no side effects. Used it many times."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have been prescribed Diflucan in the past for yeast infections and it worked wonderful. Overnight relief. I have been prescribed this generic form the last few times I've had a yeast infection and find that it does not work nearly as well for me. Currently in day 5 after taking single dose and I am still having itching and redness. "
