Question 1

why would i all of a sudden develop an allergy to diflucan (fluconazole)? never had allergies before

Accepted Answer

Cause unknown: We do not understand completely why someone would develop an allergy to a medication, but it does happen. It is very important that once you develop an allergy to a medication that you avoid it in the future. This is because repeated exposures to an allergen tend to cause worse symptoms with repeated exposures.

Question 2

i have multiple drug allergies so am always nervous to try meds. is diflucan (fluconazole) generally safe? i use monistat w/no probs, but not working this time.

Accepted Answer

Allergies or..: Side effects rather, often confused as allergies, true multiple drug allergy syndrome is rare. Diflucan, (fluconazole) is a prescription drug, at any rate, if in doubt and don't know whether you're are going to have a reaction to a certain drug, take the first dose in the prescriber's office, ER or urgent care waiting area,stay for an hour,if nothing happens, go home,if severe reaction,you're where you should be

Question 3

can taking medication cause new symptoms of seasonal allergies? i had to take diflucan for about 1 1/2 months and ever since i started it and stopped a month ago i've been experiencing a tingling sensation in my nose that i've never had before?

Accepted Answer

: In order to figure out what this new sensation is from, you need to see a doctor and be examined. Your family doctor is a good place to start and then the family doctor can refer you to an ear nose and throat doctor if needed. Hope you feel better soon! Best of luck to you!

Question 4

Question 5

vulvar irritation, no infection. took fluconazole 6 weeks but pain always comes back! could it be an allergy? currently using candacort cream.

Accepted Answer

Yes: vulvar  itching without discharge can indicate infections like yeast or stis like herpes. It can indicate an allergic reaction to household products like certain soaps and laundry detergents. There are also some skin conditions liked lichen sclerosis which can cause vaginal itching. A vulvar biopsy can often be helpful to determine the cause and treatment.

Question 6

day 5 of omnicef for sinus infection, feeling signs of a yeast infection, dr gave me diflucan (fluconazole) with 1 refill, take 1 now or wait until finish omnicef?

Accepted Answer

Take it now: There is no reason or need to wait until finishing the antibiotic. Take the fluconazole (Diflucan®)) now. You can always take the second dose later if the yeast symptoms don't clear up completely or return.

Accepted Answer

Yes, diflucan (fluconazole): requires a prescription.  Please see your doc for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 8

Question 9

is it safe to take asheagandhavroot powder after being off a week of diflucan treatment for 1 day?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

what causes vaganal itching? what can i use ? i have already taken a pill called diflucan (fluconazole)

Accepted Answer

Many things: Aside from yeast infections (i assume this from diflucan) vaginal itching can result from dryness, use of certain spermicides, a sexually transmitted disease and possibly hormonal changes. These can be determined by your gyn.
