Shouldn't be....: Fluconazole is used to treat serious fungal or yeast infections, such as vaginal candidiasis, so.... It shouldn't be the cause, since Fluconazole is one of the treatments.

Diflucan (fluconazole): Yes all that you have to do is tell your physician that dispensed the medication and acquire a 2-3 day course of Diflucan (fluconazole) and this should solve the problem.
