For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was prescribed Diflucan, one tablet daily for 30 days. My symptoms were itchiness at nighttime, mostly for a long period of time before treatment. I had a cervical smear last April, which came back unusual somehow? I was advised by post to return to the GP for retest in 3 months (cells need to grow). Anyway, the GP didn't phone me within 3 days of me receiving the letter. She advised me to pick up the script at the front desk and start on Augmentin 625 mg for 7 days, and then take Diflucan 1 a day for 30 days. I have finished my prescribed meds, and I have the same itchiness following Diflucan. What do I need to do now? My smear is not due for another while due to antibiotics."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Taken 3 so far in 2.5 months with only minor change in my awful yeast infection. Why didn't I just get the regular Canesten? Ladies, save your money or save your insurance money for something that works."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Treated for candida infection, 3 strains, and had lowered immunity. So had Canesten and Diflucan prescribed, 150 mg, fine for 1st day. Next day, severe migraine-like headaches that have lasted every day on and off, bar last 2 days. Off balance, anxiety, and severe nausea for 2 and a half, nearly 3 weeks now. Thrush has cleared up, but couldn't get my GP's surgery to give me an appointment for a couple of weeks. I've had this tablet before, no issues. Never again, feel really ill on it. I'm 65 and normally very active, have had to suspend my gym membership for a month as I feel so unwell. Do not take this drug."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was diagnosed with signs of a yeast infection. Having been sick previously. I had taken a strong antibiotic, Microbid. Probably caused the yeast infection. My doctor gave me the dose of 1 pill. I had never heard of it. Usually, I would have had to use a cream. Now my vagina has redness inside, kinda like it's burned. Tomorrow I'll be calling the doctor's office to be checked. Maybe it was too strong. I don't know. We'll see."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I bought this twice in a three-week period hoping it would cure a yeast infection I had twice. The first time I took it, nothing happened. There was nothing that happened to me. So I thought I should see my OB/GYN in case it was bacterial vaginosis. The doctor said it was a yeast infection, and they gave me 150 mg fluconazole. Which is Diflucan! And it worked. Next week later, I had a yeast infection again! I bought Diflucan again, thinking it would work. But guess what?! It did not work! Why the hell did the one from the doctor work, but the one from the store is rubbish? There was more than a week in between taking the first Diflucan and the one the doctor prescribed. So it wasn't the two working together. Diflucan is a sham!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This pill doesn’t work at all! I took two of them for a yeast infection, and three days later I still feel the same. But taking too many antibiotics can ruin your pH balance and cause a UTI or yeast infection, so I recommend the flucon."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Seriously, the only medicine that works for any problems. It gets the job done when you have a yeast infection from antibiotics. Fair warning, have this around when you first take antibiotics."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I went to the gyno thinking I had BV again. Turns out it is a yeast infection. Gave me Diflucan 150 mg, 2 pills, 3 days apart. Supposed to take the next one 2/15/16, so it is Valentine's Day, and constantly dealing with this, it feels like it got worse, more noticeable that something is wrong."
