A member asked:

What is the most effective way to take diflucan (fluconazole) 150 mg for yeast infection . one tablet every other day for 3 days , or one every two days for 3 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Once only: I assume its a vaginal yeast infection. If that is the case, usually only only tablet just once should resolve the issue.

A member asked:

I was prescribed 2 doses of 150mg fluconazole to treat a vaginal yeast infection (my second yeast infection this year). However, its only a mild infection, so is 1 pill effective enough or should I take both? If so, should I take every other day?
