Resolution: There are no specific die-off symptoms; you should have fairly rapid resolution of the symptoms of the yeast infection (the itching/discharge if any) after your dose of diflucan (fluconazole).

Question 2

is 1 diflucan (fluconazole)  safe and effective for curing a vaginal yeast infection? could it cause die off symptoms?

Accepted Answer

YES: One 150mg  tablet is curative.

Question 3

3-5 days: It takes at least 2-3 days for the tablet to cure this infection.

Question 4

will diflucan help treat candida yeast overgrowth in a male with symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would likely improve yeast infection.

Question 5

49 -year-old woman. being treated for a possible yeast infection with diflucan. but i have a thick white substance that smells really fishy,  no other symptoms, will diflucan cure that? its been 2 days and there has been no change.

Accepted Answer

Discharge odor ?'s: The characteristic odor of a yeast infection is a sour smell, not "fishy", which is more characteristic of trichomonas (a parasite). Your anti-fungal (yeast) medication will not cure trichomonas, so see your gyn physician for a vaginal smear , as trichomonas can be seen under the microscope.

Question 6

how soon after taking a diflucan (fluconazole) pill will the symptoms of a yeast infection subside?

Accepted Answer

Diflucan (fluconazole): The symptoms of a yeast infection may last for up to a week after taking a one time dose.

Question 7

how long can a yeast infection last after taking diflucan (fluconazole)? anything else i can do about huge symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Diflucan (fluconazole) works about 98% of the time when taken in three doses (one a day, every other day, for three doses).  It can take 2 to 5 days for the symptoms to clear up.  If the symptoms persist, see your doctor.  If the symptoms reoccur (happens about 10% of the time) re-treatment and suppression may be required.

Question 8

i took a diflucan (fluconazole) after seeing my doctor on tuesday. she gave me a refill, all my symptoms are gone except fir some ever so slight burning. 2nd dose?

Accepted Answer

Diflucan (fluconazole): A single dose is sufficient and I would not take the second dose unless the symptoms persisted or got worse

Question 9

i took diflucan (fluconazole) in january for a yeast infection, didn't have symptoms. i believe i have a yeast infection now. is it to early to take diflucan (fluconazole) again?

Accepted Answer

See Answer: Not all vaginal itching is caused from a yeast infection.  You should see your doctor to do a vaginal exam and maybe culture.

Question 10

i've took 6 doses of diflucan (fluconazole) for about 11 days for a yeast infection all symptoms are gone besides discharge is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Not sure of question: If you took the drug and your condition is gone, what is your question? I am guessing that 6 does over 11 days is not quite what you were supposed to do. See your physician to determine if your condition is really gone.
Good luck.
