Yeast Infection Medications

My tounge and gums have cuts on it, I was told it was a yeast infection very very painful ## There are no over the counter medications available to treat oral thrush. Have you consulted your doctor? They'll need to prescribe an antifungal medication, there are both liquids and tablets available that can be used to treat this.

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? ...

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.

Good Day, i am suffering from a yeast infection please advise if any of the following tablets cause yeast infection Atolip Ecotrin Vectoryl plus Glucophage XR SRT Ciplavasc 5mg ## Hello, KC! How are you? If you are diabetic, that could be the reason right there. A sugar imbalance can cause them, because the yeast in your body feeds on it. It is very common for female diabetics to get them regularly. Most doctors just have them keep the medications around to treat them. Is there anything else I can help with?

About three months ago I had a yeast infection and the doctor gave me canex v,and the infection went away after using it.The infection is back now.what could be the corse of that and can I use canex v once again? ## Yeast infections can have various causes… Are you on any medications, or were you on an antibiotic recently? Many drugs can throw off the PH of your body and kill the good bacteria, so yeast can grow out of control. Do you swim a lot? Do you take a lot of tub baths, or soak in a hot tub? The chemicals used in pools and spas, or in tap water can also throw off the PH, killing good bacteria. Do you use douche regularly? Douche can do the same as the chemicals I mentioned above. Do you engage in intercourse regularly? If so, your partner may be infected and need to be tre...

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.

I'm experiencing itching in the vaginal area and spores are spreading. I'm continuously itching throughout the night. Also when I'm passing urine at that time I experience irritation. What kind of anti-fungal cream can I use for this? I am in my 1st trimester of pregnancy. ## Hello, Revathi! How are you? Congratulations on the baby! From the symptoms you've described, you may have both a vaginal yeast infection and a urinary tract infection, and each requires different treatments. You need an antifungal for a yeast infection and an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, as explained by the NIH. That said, you need to see a doctor to discover exactly what you have going on, then have them prescribe the safest medications to use, during pregnancy. It would be remiss of ...

I have a yeast infection in my esophgus and my former Dr. did not give me this. Is this product correct ## Hi Bob, I was unable to locate specific details on the combination of these three medications, but I did look up each one individually to get an idea of what their used for: Nystatin is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract. Hydrocortisone is used to relieve the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort of various skin conditions. Diphenhydramine is used to relieve red, irritated, itchy, watery eyes; sneezing; and runny nose caused by hay fever, allergies, or the common cold. Based on the details above, it's tough for me to say whether or not this is the best prescription medication to handle the job. W...

I have have a yeast infection. This is not my first time, but the last time I had it to took Terconazole vaginal cream. And I still have some left so I was wondering if it can expire? ## Yes, all medications expire with time, due to being exposed to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light, and moisture, according to NIH reports. The main question is: How old is it? You might need to obtain a new supply. ## The discard date for my Terconazole cream was 2013 but it was never used or the seal broken. Can I still use it?

Hi, I had a yeast and bacterial infection and was told by my doctor to take flagyl comp for 10 days. I don't know if it will affect my period because it has never been missed before. My period came two days after it was delayed, but with much pain and it didn't flow well either. I don't know if I might be pregnant? ## Antibiotics can cause you to experience a longer cycle, in other words a delay to the start of your period, according to NIH reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Are you on any other medications? Did you try a pregnancy test? ## My menstrual cycle is on the 2nd of May but I am having pains without any flow. Can Flagyl help my period flow regularly?

i am talking about fluconazole for yeast infection and also i am about to take nitrofur-macro for urinary tract infection, but i am not sure if it's ok to take it concurrently. ## My findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions that apply to fluconazole & nitrofurantoin. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Using fluconazole together with nitrofurantoin may increase the risk of liver and lung toxicity. This may be more likely to occur in older adults or those with a debilitating condition. Talk with your doctor before using these medications together. Call the doctor if you have side effects such as cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, or pain. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins an...

I have been using Clotrimazole betamethazone for 2 weeks for vaginal topical yeast infection. I now have small white pimple bumps and it doesn't seem that the cream has helped at all. Called my Dr., he said it sounds like it's healing up. Is this normal for this cream or should I get a new Dr.? ## The betamethasone is a steroid that can cause acne/pimples as a side effect, as well as skin redness, flaking, and irritation, according to FDA reports. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? ## Thanks for the info. I have gone to my regular Dr. who tested for everything, and found nothing. She thinks the steroid was not necessary to begin with since I had never had any issues before this. I feel the steroid did more harm than good. I'm...

I just finished using this for itchy skin at 35+ wks pregnant, i now have a yeast infection am i okay to take a over the counter med for it or one the dr prescribed? ## Hi mandy, Since you are pregnant, I believe you would need to ask your doctor about every medication you are thinking about taking wether it's prescription or OTC. What is the name of the OTC medication you're considering and what are the active ingredients? I'm not sure if you're allowed to take probiotics, but doing so may be able to prevent yeast infections in the future by reinstating good bacteria in your body. Also, apple cider vinegar is a popular alternative for treating yeast infections without medications. Based on my research, Braggs apple cider vinegar is safe for use during and after pregnanc...
