A member asked:
Can all antibiotics cause a yeast infection or only some?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost all: Almost all antibacterial antibiotics can cause yeast infections such as thrush and vagintiis. The broader the antibacterial spectrum of the antibiotic the more likely it will cause yeast overgrowth and superficial infection.
