Safe: one pill for vulvovaginitis yeast infection at this stage of pregnancy is safe, only much higher doses over a long period earlier in pregnancy might be of concern, trust your doctor, wish you a healthy pregnancy and and a healthy baby, good luck

Last Wednesday I went to the doctor and she confirmed that I had a vaginal yeast infection. She prescribed me fluconazole and assigned refills on it. My vaginal itchiness has not gone away. Am I allowed to take a second pill to help my symptoms?
