A member asked:
Good morning, for patients who had severe allergic reaction to oral fluconazole for treatment of candidiasis, which treatment would you suggest?thanks

It depends...: Potential options are caspofungin and related drugs, nystatin, and amphoteracin B. But this depends a lot on the particular kind of candidiasis: different for superficial or body orifice infections (vaginal, anal, mouth) than for advanced (e.g. bloodstream) infections. If you mean "systemic candidiasis", that's an urban myth, not a real illness and doesn't need treatment.

Depends on the case: Good morning, where is the infection? If skin or mucous membranes topical treatment is available, if otherwise, there are alternatives, but all contingent upon doctor's judgment, good luck
