No: Fluconazole 150mg single dose or 2-100mg tablets in a single dose is common. Some recommend 100mg daily for three successive days. All seem to be effective.

No: One dose of 200 mg works about 85% of the time. If two doses are taken, the success rate is about 94%. When three doses are taken (one pill every other day for three doses) the success rate is almost 99%.

I was prescribed 3 doses of 150 mg Diflucan every 3 days for a vaginal yeast infection. I accidentally took them 24 hours apart for three days, instead of one dose every three days. Anything to be concerned about?
