A member asked:
Does vibramycin (doxycycline) and metronidazole together cause yeast infection? or should i take them seperately?

Any antibiotic: Can be a set up for a yeast infection. Neither has a therapeutic effect on the candida and the schedule will not matter.

Possibly: Both are antibiotics and can suppress the normal flora ("good" bacteria) in the GI tract. When this occurs, sometimes yeast and other bacteria tend to experience an overgrowth. If this happens, we can experience a "yeast infection". If you believe this is occurring, one should check with the doctor prescribing the antibiotics for further advice. Good luck!

Use as directed: Any antibiotic can cause a yeast infection. The most important thing is to treat your current problem according to your doctors instructions. If you get a yeast infection just buy an over the counter yeast cream.
