What if you take fluconazole but don't actually have yeast infection or thrush?

Nothing: Unless you have heart rhythm abnormalities or are allergic to the drug it will have no effect.

Why?: Why are you taking it? It cures yeast and fungal infections. If you don't have those, then it only hurts your finances.
