For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is my second yeast infection due to taking antibiotics. Fluconazole is really good. It's only been like 16 hours, but I feel so much more relief already. Also, drink tons of water and have yogurt, it also helps!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I get yeast infections when I drink a lot of wine. It usually works with a mild infection if you take it upon first notice within 48 to 72 hours. But I feel relief in the first 24 hours. I also use baby diaper rash cream to relieve itching. This works like a dream. Desitin is the best. Just the regular strength. Immediate relief! The pill does the rest. If you let it get too severe, take 2 pills 2 to 5 days apart. That works in 3 to 5 days. Abstain from alcohol and food high in sugar, such as soda and sweets. If the Diflucan doesn't offer relief in 2 to 3 days, you might have vaginitis, a bacterial infection which sometimes seems like a yeast infection and requires a different medication. Call your doctor."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm not entirely sure why I am having such a hard time clearing up my yeast infection this time. This is now my 4th pill (after taking 3 of the 150 mg over the course of 3 weeks). I typically don't suffer from burning, itching, rashes...but the cottage cheese discharge is terrible. I took my 4th dose last night, it was 100 mg, and was expecting to not have any discharge this morning. Welp...still see it. It's not as much, but mid-day, wiped...still cottage cheese discharge. I am comforted by the ladies here saying it does take a few days. Just wondering why I've had to take so many this time and still not cured."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I had a pretty bad yeast infection. I was itchy, and my lady bits were bright red. I mean, it REALLY itched and I had pain. The only time I couldn't feel the symptoms was if I was laying in bed. I took fluconazole on a Saturday afternoon. Upon waking the next morning, my symptoms seemed to be cut in half, still irritated though, itchy, and uncomfortable. Each day after, symptoms seemed to be cut in half again. Tuesday I was feeling much better, and it is now Wednesday, and I feel great. This definitely worked for me. So glad I didn't have to take Monistat since that burns my insides! Those who are experiencing side effects, I can only guess with fluconazole you do not actually have a yeast infection and the pill is trying to fight something that isn't there. Probably a different issue, maybe bacterial? This pill definitely worked for me, and I am HAPPY and back to feeling like my normal self again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have been battling a yeast infection for years. I went to my gynae last year, and he prescribed antibiotics and some drugs I could not remember, the yeast got worse after I took these medications. I continued with my symptoms until June 3, 2019, and went to a different gynae who prescribed me fluconazole, another drug, and antibiotics. I decided not to take antibiotics but took fluconazole and the other drug, went to bed, and woke up the next morning cured. It's been a few weeks, and I feel amazing and like a new person. I highly recommend fluconazole for yeast infection."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "For years I was prescribed Diflucan for frequent recurring yeast infections. It did relieve my symptoms, but the infection would come back. I started doing my own research and found that some women are sensitive to soaps, body washes, shave creams, etc., and that those can cause problems with your pH balance and cause some women to have frequent infections. I started using Vagisil pH Balance wash. This product has changed my life! In the last 5 years since using this product, I have maybe had 3-4 starts to yeast infections, mostly caused by antibiotics. If I feel like I am starting to get a yeast infection (which is rare now), I start taking RepHresh Pro-B (probiotic feminine supplement), and that will help take care of the infection."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I get yeast infections all the time, and all I get prescribed is Diflucan. No one listens to me that this doesn't work for me. Last doctor at least tried giving me 3 Diflucan pills and to take 1 every 3 days. Still didn't work. Don't know what else to do."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Candida Urinary Tract Infection "Okay, umm... I was diagnosed with candida in 2014 and was given different antifungals, which seemed to work for the meantime. Then, in 2015, I had a reinfection, symptoms were similar to the last one. So, Diflucan was recommended: 150 mg single dose and ketoconazole cream. On taking the single dose of Diflucan, I got a lot better after 3 hours, it was such a relief. The itching, burning, and inflammation stopped. This is 2020, and I am currently on another dose, and it's working perfectly... I recommend this drug 100%."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Have taken sporadically for a yeast infection. Seemed to work, but I broke out in hives. It took me a bit to figure it out because I’d take 1 pill maybe once a year. It didn’t register. Well, now I know! I took 1 pill in March, 1 pill in July, and thought, huh, I wonder if fluconazole. Took 1 pill yesterday and paid attention!!! Yep! Ugh! Hives and allergic reaction not on the list! I get hives, my knuckle swells on 1 finger, and it is painful. It blisters and finally pops and heals on its own. Each time it is worse. Now my lips are swollen, and hives on palms and on skin by thumb. My hands are so dry. NEVER AGAIN WILL I TAKE THIS fluconazole!!"

For Systemic Candidiasis "I had systemic candidiasis that affected my mouth, esophagus, gut, and privates. The relief I felt was so fast for my gut. I had horrific burning pain, bloating, GERD, and cramps due to intestinal candida. The relief was so quick! The infections in other areas of my body took about 2-3 days to see results, and I ultimately needed this medicine for a month. Side effects I had were blurred vision (only improved after being off the medicine for a few days), gas, some stomach pain, and some drowsiness (improved as my infection healed)."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I tried a cream OTC, which didn't work. So I called my doctor and he prescribed this. AMAZING medicine! Within 24 hours, my infection is gone, and I feel human again! I experienced no side effects. It's almost like a wonder pill!"

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I get repetitive yeast infections, so it took three treatments with Diflucan for three different infections before I realized that Diflucan was the thing that was causing the painful, blistering skin rash I was getting about once a month. I was having what is known as 'fixed skin ulceration.' Ulcers in my mouth, blisters on my hands and leg, always in the same exact spots each time and always very painful. No one told me there was even a chance that I was allergic to this medicine, and when I sought treatment for the second and then third episodes, the doctors completely missed it. There needs to be more information out there about this, as the company only reports one previous person ever having this same reaction, yet it happened to me."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had the worst experience of my life taking this drug! I was prescribed this for a yeast infection and have been in and out of the hospital for past four days with excessive diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and severe fatigue! I had black diarrhea and terrible body aches. I’m only just now able to eat rice and chicken broth!! It is awful, awful, awful.. ladies.. go to walmart and get the VH suppositories or pills instead.. take / insert once weekly and it’ll be gone! no side effects with those as its all natural!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Unfortunately, fluconazole was not a great experience for me. And still suffering from the side effects. Do not ignore chills, burning sensations, and skin irritation. I did 2 rounds of fluconazole 72 hours apart. First round, I had a hive on my upper lip for a day, and lady parts were red and irritated. Went back to the doctor, prescribed a second round, which gave a burning sensation to the anus, labia, vulva... have been on fire ever since. Could hardly sit down. 5 days of prednisone to help, now Reactine once daily. Still have burning on the back of legs and butt... it has been almost a month. Pharmacist says it’s just going to take time... ugh. Wish there was something else that would help to get this out of my system as it has been a brutal experience."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This drug is a godsend for people who get chronic yeast infections. I just don't know what I would do without it, because the OTC meds do not even TOUCH my yeast infections. We are talking horrible itching and burning to the point of feeling like you want to climb the walls! Sometimes it takes more than 1 dose, but my doctor did tell me this drug was harsh on your liver, and for people like me who already have some liver issues, that is the only thing I worry about when taking it. Otherwise, I just would be in misery all the time without this drug."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have taken this medication before, so not sure if something with my body chemistry changed or this medication composition has changed. My experience was a severe allergic reaction causing swelling to my face and lips, with blistering and sores inside my mouth that were extremely painful. I was given a steroid shot and high dosages of prednisone. On day 5, the swelling has just started to go down, but the sores inside my mouth and the scabs on my lips are horrible. I will not take this medication again."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had 3 back-to-back yeast infections. The first one I treated myself with a 7-day cream. The second one my doctor saw during my annual pap. I told her I thought I had one, and she said she thought I was correct. She tested me for other infections, but it was, in fact, yeast. So she prescribed Diflucan and gave me 2 pills. I took one that day and one 3 days later. I started noticing an improvement within 24 hours. Let me say that the burning and itching from the yeast infections were SO SEVERE. I even questioned my 10-year partner about his fidelity because I wondered if I had somehow contracted an STI. (Not to his face) I'm not proud of that. It wasn't long, about a month later, and I got ANOTHER yeast infection, and this one, the burning was even worse. I emailed my doctor, and she sent a prescription to the pharmacy. The Diflucan worked the same, started working in about 24 hours."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "While in Costa Rica, an itchy skin condition that was developing for some time and which I did not know was fungus got worse. Went into a pharmacy and was recommended fluconazole. Within an hour, the itchiness started to subside. By the next day, there was visible improvement. By the end of the first week, chronic Athlete's foot was mostly healed, as was jock itch. Got back to the states, saw my doc, told him I wanted to continue with it to treat the nail fungus. He suggested a different drug. After a month, I stopped seeing improvement. Switched back to fluconazole. Eight years later, I have never gotten Athlete's foot again, and I had it most of my life between two particular toes. It is as if I am permanently inoculated against fungus."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Was prescribed this medication after BV treatment and next day lip was swollen & itching. Lip swelled to the point it was tight and shiny. Eating was unbearable. Woke up with a blister that has since popped and now I have open sore and scabs. I WILL NOT EVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN!"

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was sick and had to take amoxicillin and unfortunately got a yeast infection. I went to the doctor, and he prescribed Diflucan yesterday. I had no side effects. Unlike everyone else, my horrible symptoms (itching, burning) are still present."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm pretty sensitive to medicine, in fact, I get so many side effects I have a long list of medicines I can't take. I didn't get any side effects from Diflucan, so I'm pretty impressed. I read the reviews, and the majority of the negative ones I think were misinterpreted. I don't think half of those were actually from this medicine, so it's a shame they reviewed it so poorly. I have a candida overgrowth that is causing my infections, so I have to take Diflucan once a week for 3 months, so far, no problems."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I know I have a yeast infection after only a couple of days of itching and burning. I got the medicine from my doctor and took it immediately; don't wait weeks or months to call the doctor. BTW, you can give a yeast infection to your boyfriend, so don't have sex until you are cured. Because he can give it right back to you, then you think the medicine didn't work. Use your head, ladies; if it's itching and burning and discharging, keep your legs closed and call the Dr. ASAP!"

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I took 3 Diflucan for a yeast infection and used over the counter Monistat 3 day first on my own. One month later I am still experiencing burning tongue, metallic taste in my mouth, slight pains going through each breast, very tired and slight itch and burn on occasion in the vagina. I took this along with HRT and have been reading about the interaction they have together. All I have been told is that I may have overdone the treatment, had an allergic reaction, and killed too much good bacteria. Will never take this drug again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "After a round of antibiotics to clear up a UTI, I developed a severe yeast infection with itching, burning, and discharge. Called the doctor, and he prescribed the generic of Diflucan. Took one dose, and symptoms cleared completely in 24 hours. Took the second dose 3 days later and now symptom-free!!!! I do not post reviews often, but I needed to give back to someone who may be suffering like I was. These reviews provide relief when things feel like they can't get any worse. And this magic pill proved that things will get better with time."

Diflucan (fluconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I always get yeast infections. Especially after I finish a round of antibiotics for an ear infection or whatever it may be. Before, I always tried using creams, and it would take days to clear out. Sometimes it wouldn't clear, and I would have to go to the doctor and get another cream. Such a headache. I finally got a great gyno who prescribed this to me, and I thought, hmm, a pill? That's odd. Took the pill that morning, by nighttime, I was feeling much better, and the next day the discharge was way, way less. By two days, it was gone. And it stays in your system for seven days, so it helps prevent the infection from coming back. Works wonders! Thanks, Diflucan! My most recent infection, though, did require two doses of Diflucan. FYI. :)"
