Yeah and if you have ever had a yeast and have to take antibiotics, you are more likely to get it again, as are diabetics and those on birth control pills. You can treat for a yeast while you are taking the antibiotic. Get the 3 or 7 day treatment pack and use some of the cream every other day or every 2 or 3 days, to prevent the infection. If you can get some Diflucan, you can use that mid way thru treament and a few days after. Some doctors will now prescribe Diflucan to their lady patients who have to take antibiotics, just let the Doctor know that you are prone to yeast.
Good morning,
Yes this medication can cause yeast infection... severe side effect get medical attention ASAP.
Take care and good luck.
