is it possible for you to take diflucan (fluconazole) and use monistat cream at the same time?

Question

I have been taking fluconazole for 3 days for a yeast infection and I still have itching do I need to refill my script again and buy some Monistat cream?

Answer 1

Diflucan (fluconazole) and Monista: Yes, they work differently. One is a pill you take by mouth and the other is a topical.

Answer 2

No: Babies often switch curves on a growth chart, depending on their activity levels, the time of day the measurement is taken, and the genetic potential for growth they are given by her parents. As long as your baby continues to grow, the growth curves are just guides.

Answer 3

Maybe: Certainly babies and kids will alter growth percentiles at times throughout growth. For instance, when a child goes from sitting to crawling and walking, their weight percentile can dip due to a huge increase in activity without eating much more. However, large changes in any growth parameter can be an issue. Talk it over with your doc and look at the curves with them to make sure things are ok.

Answer 4

Keep a watch: Babies can shift percentiles over first 2 years of life but needs to monitored by your pcp.

Answer 5

Not sure: The way babies are measured in their pcp's office can be a problem sometimes particularly if the "paper and pencil" method is used. Babies squirm and this method is highly inaccurate. An infantometer is the gold standard for measuring a baby's length.

Answer 6

Yes: Many women are able to put two babies to breast at the same time. It takes some practice and coordination, however.

Answer 7

Yes: Twins can be breastfed or bottle fed at the same time, or fed individually. If the twins demand more breastmilk than mom makes, then formula can be given after breastfeeding.

Answer 8

No: While they may feel the same to you, they are a little different. An epidural puts continuous medication in a sac around the spinal cord, providing longer, lower level numbness. Spinals put the medication in the fluid directly around the spinal cord just once. Epidurals numb a little less but longer, spinals numb a lot but only last a shorter period of time.

Answer 9

Similar: Both are neuraxial blocks that prevent nerve transmission. The space that the spinal goes is placed in is adjacent to the epidural space. It is typically a single shot that wears off in a predetermined time. A small catheter can be placed in the epidural space and allow for a variable length of activity. That is why epidurals are more useful for labor. The needles are also a little different.

Answer 10

They are different: Spinal and epidural injections share many characteristics. But, the spinal needle is inserted a few mm deeper than the epidural needle so that it punctures the dura (one of the membranes that cover the spinal cord) and rests in cerebrospinal fluid (csf). Local anesthetic injected in the CSF produces a fast, dense nerve block that numbs all the way to the toes.

Answer 11

Epidural/Spinal: Spinal is injecting anesthetic into the Subarachnoid space. Epidural is in the space around the dura mater of the spinal cord.

Answer 12

No: Alka seltzer is generally used for heartburn and indigestion. Imodium (loperamide) is generally used for diarrhea.

Answer 13

Yes: Sudden stinging down arms or legs is often called a burner. Trauma to nerves in neck or shoulder can do this. Trauma to the head with confusion, nausea, and alteration in consciousness can be considered a concussion. Both types of symptoms may occur during a major trauma event.
