A member asked:

On antibiotics for 10 days and got a yeast infection. they gave me 3 diflucan pills to clear it up. is it normal if it takes 3 pills sometimes?

Specializes in Psychiatry

This does not: mean that you need to take all three pills. However, if you have yeast infection that is stubborn - the diflucan may need to be repeated.
