A member asked:
70 yrs, healthy 1st shingles attack got prescribed brivudine simultaneously with diflucan (fluconazole) & amoxcillin (last two preventatively) isn't it too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no reason to give antibiotics or antifungals 'preventatively' for shingles. The antiviral was enough.
