Question 3

my obgyn gave me diflucan (fluconazole) to get rid of my yeast infection since it has been reoccurring. it came back, what else can she give me to keep it away?

Accepted Answer

Azole resistance?: If each yeast episode respond well, then you may need evaluation for underlying causes (especially diabetes, antibiotic treatment, etc). Or take fluconazole routinely once a week. If your yeast episodes don't get better with treatment, then you may have Candida glabrata, which is often resistant to fluconazole and all "azole" drugs. In that case, nystatin, caspofungin, or flucytosine might work.

Likely 2 Infections: The Fluconazole is used to treat yeast. However, Metronidazole is used for infections such as bacterial vaginosis or trichomonas. If your doctor did a culture they may have you on both until the results are in. Both meds are safe together.
