Get to my doctor for a few more days. Took a Diflucan 200mg Thursday. Have another at home. Still have severe symptoms. When will it be safe to take the 2nd dose?

If you have some, and aren't grossed out, plain yogurt will work!! It will help until the fluconazole is available. Here is a link for that and some other remedies, but I promise the yogurt really is soothing. My mom taught me that one years ago and she learned it from her mom!

I have a Fluconazole at my house. I can't get out to get anything else though. I just didn't know if it was safe to take my second dose yet. Took the first one Thursday and it is now Saturday. Still have severe symptoms

You can take the second dose on the third day- so today, even being diabetic. I confirmed this with my mom who is a pharmacy tech of 15 years. She said this is extremely common in diabetics to need a second dose. I hope this helps and it starts to clear up!
