A member asked:
Can tetracycline tablets give you vaginal thrush?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Most antibiotics that we use today can lead to a change in the vaginal flora, and thus lead to overproduction of yeast, and hence a yeast infection. This of course includes tetracycline.

Yes: When taking an antibiotic it disturbs the normal bacterial flora that keep the candida organisms in check. Once this relationship is disturbed you may get an overgrowth and develop a yeast infection. Can happen in the mouth or vaginally.

Give=no/allow=yes: Yeast that is already in your intestines or on other body surfaces eventually lead to vaginal thrush. Taking any antibiotic can kill off healthy bacteria that is occupying those spaces and allow more room and food for yeast to thrive on. Taking probiotics can help maintain normal levels of good bacteria to suppress yeast overgrowth.
