A member asked:
My dr prescribed diflucan for candida glabrata but i read it doesnt help with that i took my last dose today and was wondering when i could start monistat?

All "azole" treatments are inactive against most strains of Candida glabrata. If fluconazole (Diflucan) hasn't worked, miconazole (Monistat) also will be ineffective. But don't assume diflucan didn't work, unless your symptoms have not improved. Check with your doctor to confirm need for more treatment, perhaps with other types of drugs (like echinocandins, nystatin, etc). Good luck.
