Diflucan yeast infec: I've taken diflucan several times for yeast infections and it doesn't seem to work why??? ANS: either your problem is not due to yeast or the yeast is resistant to diflucan. Ask your Dr. why.

Infection: One possibility is that you may have something else other than yeast infection that does not response to diflucan. See your doctor.
