A member asked:

Will i get a yeast infection taking doxycycline, prednisone and birth control pills all at the same time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection: Antibiotics can predispose one to a yeast infection by killing off the "good bacteria" that would normally keep yeast at bay. Steroids can add to the problem by decreasing some the body's natural immune/inflammatory response to the yeast allowing it to proliferate.
