A member asked:
When after starting an antibiotic does a yeast infection occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within a week: The antibiotics also kill healthy bacteria. These healthy bacteria keep a balance in the vagina. When the balance is upset, yeast can move in. Ask for a yeast killer like Diflucan (fluconazole) with your next antibiotic prescription.
