Yeast: Common side effect especially penicillin family. Affects vaginal ph( acidity). Try greek style cultured yogurt- probiotics) there is over counter Mycostatin (nystatin) but ask your pharmacist for advice. Best use private pharmacy where take time talk with patients, wallymart orcvs may be too busy or steer u to their products.
