I was prescribed this diflucan to take 1 a day for 3 days. Today is day 2 and itching has begun to clear up. Also- advice for those with recurring yeast infections or those who get them every time an antibiotic is taken: TAKE A PROBIOTIC DAILY This will help prevent yeast infections & can safely be taken daily without any drug interactions. The one I've used that works best for me is "Dr Ohhira'...
Had to take amoxycilin after surgery, and I got a horrible yeast infection. Went to my gyno afterwards, and she said that particular antibiotic is known to cause yeast infections. So she prescribed 2 doses of Diflucan. First dose made me nauseous, but I thought, "hey, what's a little nausea if it clears this up." Gave me a little relief. Took the second dose 4 days later, and while there was no n...

When I got off the antibiotics I started itching crawling zapping sensation. All.Over.Biopsie were so sister with Grovers disease.. no sure just a bunch of treatments and prednisone that doesn’t work. Furring this I gained about 30 lbs. about a more nth ago I thought I had a yeast infection and took one. The next day the really awful itch stopped. I lost all of the weight in about a week! It was very weird.i was like a druggie calling all my docs trying to get Fluconazole. I am now on 100 mg a day for six weeks and I. Ever want to get off of it. I hope this helps someone it is not a dangerous drug and It’s the only thing that has helped meRead More Read Less

Took diflucan for a week due to oral thrush. Worse case of heartburn I've ever experienced. Sent me to emergency. Ended up with gastritis, insomnia, and depression. Will never take this medication again.

I developed so many tiny sores inside my mouth, inside my cheeks, on the roof of my mouth and on my tongue. I was in pure hell for a week. I thought it was the flu and then a sinus infection before we figured it out. I currently take Adipex for weight loss and had started occasionally vaping. Well I guess my body didn't like that and then I was diagnosed with Oral Thrush. I requested liquid Diflucan because I could not eat or drink. I was told to take it for 14 days. I'm on day 11 today. I have a slight constant headache, am more dizzy when I first stand up, am constipated and it tastes horrible. However, the Thrush was hell so I welcome a little discomfort that comes along with this medication. Read More Read Less

I used Diflucan successfully multiple times over several years. Then,when I was in my young 30s,I used a dose a friend had that had expired, and got large maroon skin hives(rash) on my face and neck. I didn't attribute the spots to the diflucan until abut the 3rd time I got rash, which was worse each time. The 2nd time I'd used unexpired generic fluconozole, the 3rd time unexpired Diflucan. I don't know if the reaction had anything to do with that one dose being expired, or if my body's tolerance just changed, but I can't use it anymore. So don't take a chance on an expired dose!Read More Read Less

OTC treatments have never worked for me. I am extremely susceptible to vaginal yeast infections. Anytime I take an antibiotic I�m sure to get one. Plus I am diabetic and high blood sugars also cause them for me. And when I get one it�s 100% awful and really bad. 1 pill and I�m cleared up in a few days. The day after taking it I usually already feel the difference. I usually take a second one a week after the first one is taken for the just in case factor. I would recommend this medication to anyone. Women who are allergic to it, I feel so sorry for. This medication works miracles for me. Read More Read Less

I had a bacterial infection so the doctor prescribed me Metronadizole. It gave me a terrible yeast infection , the kind that is real dry & irritating. The doctor called in Diflucan & I took it about 3 days ago. It just start clearing up today. My discharge isn’t white anymore it’s becomibg more clear. I haven’t had discomfort all day today. The medication is working but i’m going to wait a couple more days a couple more days before having any sex with my boyfriend. Overall this medication really works.

I was put on Augmentin (antibiotics) and got a yeast infection, so the dr prescribed this. It has made me miserable. I have had the worse diarrhea for the past two days. Last night I had major chills and couldnâ??t get warm. I still have a bit of a yeast infection- Iâ??m hoping it clears up soon.

This is the only medication that has help with my yeast infections. Those over the counter ones actually cause irritation and make it worse. I have no side effects from this pill

I was prescribed this med for a yeast infection I got due to taking hormone meds. I was prescribed 100mg once a day for a week. A week after taking it my hair is falling out in clumps. My hairline is sore, the same feeling as if you've had your hair in a ponytail for too long. I'm not sure I would ever retake this medication.

I am baffled but in the best possible way. Since last October my entire left side has been burning. From the top of my scalp to my left knee. On a guess that I had a yeast infection which I don't believe I really had an urgent care doc prescribed this and for the first time in almost a year - inexplicably I felt insanely much better - I don't know why. I imagine the source of that issue is fungal but its my WHOLE LEFT SIDE. Its sort of concerning that this IS what helps but it so much does - I would love to understand more about why.

I think Diflucan is giving me a slight headache, but other than that it seems to work great. Cleared up my itching and most of my discharge within a day of taking the first dose. I took the second dose five days later (today) and am hoping it'll knock out the rest of the discharge. This is my second yeast infection ever and I definitely prefer the pill to the messy creams. Advil takes care of the headache.

For some reason I am prone to yeast infections and get them about 4 times per year. Diflucan consistently works for me in just one dose, I am completely better within 24 hours. So much easier to use than those messy OTC creams. I have no side effects at all.
