A member asked:

On antibiotics for 15 days. treated for a yeast infection with diflucan (fluconazole). infection may be back, and i have leftover difl. ok to take more difl?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ok: Taking broad spectrum antibiotics often results in yeast infection as the normal flora is wiped out. Taking Diflucan (fluconazole) will treat the yeast infection but if it wasn't at the end of therapy probiotics should be used to re-culture the system. Cultured yogurt works or a good probiotic (lactobacillus acidophyllis) will help to prevent recurring yeast infections and could be used with antibiotic therapy.
