For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have been prescribed Diflucan in the past for yeast infections and it worked wonderfully. 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 on day 5 after taking a single dose, and I am still having itching and redness."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "After taking antibiotics, I usually get a yeast infection, so I take Diflucan once when the 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."

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!"

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%."

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 so dizzy I thought I was going to fall over. It didn't matter if I was standing up or sitting down. The dizziness was horrible. Oh, I only had one dose of it, and I'm still itching like crazy."

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 and three pills later, I'm still suffering from the yeast infection symptoms."

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 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 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 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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is my second time taking Diflucan. I had an allergic reaction to the 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, with 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, Chlamydia, RPR, and HSV. Everything was negative. Be cautious of this medication."

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. :)"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got one Diflucan pill to take, which I thought at first was a waste of money, but it works GREAT. The discharge and smell changed after 1 day! There were no side effects, no headaches, nausea, pain, etc. Highly recommend!"

For Candida Urinary Tract Infection "Amazing drug. After trying everything for a week to get rid of the worst yeast infection of my life, I was prescribed Diflucan. Within 15 minutes, no lie, yeast started dumping from my body. Kinda gross, but that's what was making me feel so horrible and frustrated. I had waited a few days after Monistat didn't work. But word to the wise, drink lots of water after you take this; there are so many toxins that get released into your body when yeast dies off, especially that fast. I drank a lot of water and didn't experience side effects or headaches with this med."

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 Vaginal Yeast Infection "I developed pneumonia after getting swine flu. I was on heavy-duty antibiotics and was given Diflucan as a prophylactic for yeast infections. I took approximately 4 doses over the course of two weeks. I recently noticed that a toenail that had a fungus for over 40 years (!) is now growing in nice and pink! No more thick, ugly yellow nail! Amazing! No other side effects were noticed!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I took Diflucan for a yeast infection on a Friday around 8 PM, at about 10 PM, my lips started to tingle. I went to bed and woke up at 2 am to find my lips severely swollen with a rash around them. Today is Monday, and my lips are burning, dry, and still swollen. I am now getting sores inside of my mouth from the Diflucan. My yeast infection has cleared up, but the pain I am feeling now is horrific. I will NEVER take this pill again."

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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've had recurring yeast infections, and I have to say that this works amazingly. Quick relief of symptoms, which, if anyone has a yeast infection, can agree. This is the first thought that comes to mind. I'm so thankful that my doctor prescribed this for me."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've used this medication quite a few times in the past few years, and it definitely always works. Sometimes one is not enough, though, but the three-pill regimen always works when used as directed. The best part is that you can also drink alcohol on this, and it will still work. No bad side effects or burning so far."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have taken Diflucan for yeast infections for years. I always get the infection after having to take antibiotics for a sinus infection (at least 1x/year). I have never had any issues - until now. Twelve hours after taking the Diflucan, I developed 3 hives - two on my face and one on my thumb. I thought maybe it was from something else or stress, so I ignored it. Big mistake. Had to take a second pill this week, and the hives came back in the exact same places, only worse, and have blistered. I also now have blisters inside my mouth and on my lips. They are extremely painful and are healing, but still there after 6 days. I expect scarring. If you have an allergic reaction to this drug, DO NOT take it again. It only gets worse. Now to figure out what I CAN take, as the yeast infection is still there."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Had a mild yeast infection that showed up on the pap results but felt no symptoms. Took Diflucan, and within 24 hours I had raging yeast infection symptoms that have worsened over the next five days. I routinely eat a diet low in carbs and high in probiotic foods, also no simple carbs. I suspect Diflucan wiped out all the healthy microbes and made room for something worse to bloom. Still not sure how this will be resolved."

For Esophageal Candidiasis "ShugarCookie. This medicine cleared up my infection in 3 days. So, 10 for efficacy. Solid 0 with regard to side effects. It's like a vision quest! I made it through 25 days of these 100 mg demons...when I landed in the hospital with dangerously low blood serum sodium. The side effects are over the moon. I had sour stomach, loss of coordination, loss of sleep and appetite, constipation, rapid heartbeat, weakness, dizziness, and possible seizures, tremors, jumpiness, confusion. There is no way I could drive a car on this. This pill will chew you up and spit you out. But it cleared up my esophageal thrush in no time flat. I'm not sure if 30 days is overkill or not. I couldn't tolerate it from the first week! Maybe I'm allergic to it, as my upper lip is split since I began the course? Don't be me and ignore the side effects and end up in the emergency room."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Took antibiotics and got a yeast infection, went to the Drs, they prescribed Monistat 3. Took it for the 3 days, still was experiencing a lot of itching and burning. Went back to the Drs, she prescribed the one-dose pill. Took it Thursday afternoon, felt nausea, had headaches, and stomach aches (side effects), but helped with the burning pain by the next day. It's now Sunday, and the itching, burning, and pain are back. Going back to the Drs tomorrow for the 3rd time in 2 and a half weeks. So want this to go away. Feeling like I need to get a second opinion."
