What Pill Is Used For A Yeast Infection

Does anyone know what the pink pill is that is for yeast infection and you only have to take one.......I don't know anything more today. ## Diflucan - your doctor will know what it is and you can only get it with a prescription. Here is a web site - www.yeast-infection-remedies.com/candida-diflucan.html ## Though it can't be definitively said without knowing the markings, Diflucan would also have been my best guess, since it is available in a single dose, pink tablet for treating yeast infections. It contained the active ingredient Fluconazole, and is now also available as a generic under this name and some pharmacies even include it on their $4 discounted medications formulary. Are there any questions or comments? There are more Diflucan details available here.

Hi, two questions, can yeast in baked items grow back a yeast infection that is being treated? And two, i have been having recurrent yeast infections around the time of my period, i was treated with 300 mg of Apo-fluconazole for a day and i have a dose of 100 mg for the next two months, will this treat it permanently? any suggestions what to take? ## Please give ur suggestions ## No, the yeast in baked items is dead, as they have been baked and it is not a live culture. While the medication may get rid of the current infection permanently, it is always possible for you to catch another yeast infection. You may want to research how to help prevent them from occurring. Learn more Fluconazole details here. Are there any other questions I can help with? ## I would like to know how a person ...

How many doses does it take to treat a yeast infection at 1 in morning and 1 at night. How long does it take to clear up the yeast infection I have gotten from being on penicillin? Sorry not sure if spelled correctly, I was on that for my tooth but my body always gets them when I take them. ## This medication is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, and they list it as containing 100mgs of Doxycycline, which is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections (NDC 53489-119). Thus, it will not help with a yeast infection, as reported by the FDA, it could also cause one, or worsen an existing one, just like the Penicillin. Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. To treat a yeast infection, you...

I have been prescribed Rantac 150 for a yeast infection. I have a gland on the side of my viginia which my doctor says is because of the infection but I am reading that Zantac is for stomach problems.

It will not help with a vaginal infection, at all, under any circumstances. It will, however, help with acidity issues, since it contains Ranitidine. Learn more Ranitidine details here.

I have a yeast infection and u unary tract infection Can I use this drug for both ? ## Hi, Kisha! Sorry about the health issues, I hope they clear up soon. And no, this is an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections, so it will not treat a yeast infection. These medications can actually cause them by killing off the beneficial bacteria in our bodies. Learn more Bactrim details here. And it may not be the right medication to clear up your urinary tract infection, or you may not have enough if you only have leftovers from a prior infection. You should see your doctor for a proper diagnoses and antibiotic, if needed. To eradicate a yeast infection, you'll need an antifungal medication, such as Fluconazole, which is also available under the brand name Diflucan. Learn more Diflucan de...

How do you see that the Canex V cream for yeast infection is working after using it for 3 days? ## Hello, Snowy! How are you? Has there been any relief of your symptoms?

I was prescribed fluconazole for a yeast infection after taking antibiotics. I took the first dose two days ago 150mg. The prescription says to wait 3 days to take the second dose but I am still experiencing the symptoms and want to take it early. ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? For the best results, it is best to follow the prescribing instructions. The medication will not clear it up and alleviate all the symptoms immediately, it will take several days to work. Most prescriptions are just for one tablet, not two. The FDA classifies Fluconazole as an antifungal medication and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## So my doctor just prescribed me fluconazole 9/18/17. He gave me 4 tablets for a ...

My granddaughter seems to have a yeast infection she is trying to itch it . The pharmacy told me to get Clothrimazole cream USP 1% is this ok ## Hello, Christina! How is your granddaughter doing? At her age, it's very important to take her to her pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and treatment. It's just far to risky to try to diagnose such a young child on your own and then treat it properly. There are chances she could get her hands in that cream and then put them in her mouth, which may be dangerous. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin irritation, redness and dryness. Is there anything else I can help with?

Ok so i used tho medication and got what i would like to think is a yeast infection. Thick white skimpy discharge but without the smell or itch. And i went to my GYN and was testednegative for everything but e coli wwhich was why i took it. But now there is this discjarge so i am now using an over the counter 3 day monistat to hopefully clear the symptoms and side effects of the medication. If this does not work then i will talk to another GYN because frankly im not happy with the way my current doctor treats me as a patient. ## Hello, Gabby! How are you? This medication is an antibiotic and most of them can cause a yeast infection, as a side effect, as listed by the FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, headache and diarrhea. However, if you didn't have any itc...

Can I use this on a 10onth old baby . Clotrazole cream USP 1% for a yeast infection ## Hi Christina, Clotrimazole is used to treat yeast infections. However, according to the US National Institute of Health, the product warning label for Clotrimazole recommends asking a doctor before applying this medication on children under 2 years of age. I don't know what sort of risk factors or side effects may be associated with children in this age group who are taking Clotrimazole, but I'm sure the age limit is in place for a good reason. So we can only hope that the doctor will be able to make an appropriate judgement call upon determining whether or not it's going to be safe. Something they may take into consideration is the child's biological age in conjunction with their chro...

I sometimes suffer with a dry r Throat and when out for supper in a crowd I worry that I cant swollow the food If I drink while eating I seem to be okay the pharmacist gave me betamox but looking it up on your site it appears to be for colds and flu. ## Actually, it contains Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections, so it isn't effective at treating colds, flu or the type of problem you have.

I am a man who takes lyrica. Can I give my wife a yeast infection from my sperm having lyrica in it? ## Hello, Eric! How are you? No, it doesn't work that way, regardless of the medication, she would not be exposed to enough of it via your sperm to cause any issues. Unless you are prescribed a medication that specifically says not to engage in intercourse, while taking it, there is nothing to worry about. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Lyrica as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings, and weight gain. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I started taking Minastrin when Loestrin was discontinued. My doctor assured me that it was the best choice because all of the ingredients were the same. I had zero side effects on Loestrin..so I went with it. Now every time I have intercourse with my boyfriend I get a yeast infection. Currently I have a yeast infection/vaginal irritation that WILL NOT go away. (Haven't had intercourse for 6 weeks...and yes, been tested for STIs) I've been prescribed 3 different medications and I've seen 4 different doctors. I've stopped taking Minastrin and will begin LoLoestrin soon. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this on Minastrin? And most important, did the yeast infections every go away!? ## Hello, Lindsay! How are you? Are they certain that it's a yeast infection? ...
