A member asked:

I was prescribed 3 doses of 150 mg Diflucan every 3 days for a vaginal yeast infection. I accidentally took the first two dose 24 hours apart. Should I just wait three days from my most recent dose and take the next one? Or should I be concerned?

A member asked:

I was prescribed 2 doses of 150mg fluconazole to treat a vaginal yeast infection (my second yeast infection this year). However, its only a mild infection, so is 1 pill effective enough or should I take both? If so, should I take every other day?
