Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I tried a cream OTC, which didn't work. So I called my doctor and he prescribed this. AMAZING medicine! Within 24 hours, my infection is gone, and I feel human again! I experienced no side effects. It's almost like a wonder pill!"

Fluconazole for Candida Urinary Tract Infection "Okay, umm... I was diagnosed with candida in 2014 and was given different antifungals, which seemed to work for the meantime. Then, in 2015, I had a reinfection, symptoms were similar to the last one. So, Diflucan was recommended: 150 mg single dose and ketoconazole cream. On taking the single dose of Diflucan, I got a lot better after 3 hours, it was such a relief. The itching, burning, and inflammation stopped. This is 2020, and I am currently on another dose, and it's working perfectly... I recommend this drug 100%."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This medication is not a joke, I kid you not. I was able to take only 2 of 3 prescribed pills of 150 mg of this chemical for a very bad vaginal yeast infection brought on by antibiotic use, and I regret that I took this. One single pill caused pounding headaches, extreme nausea, tachycardia, chills, cold and hot flushes, profuse sweating, depression, explosive diarrhea, no appetite, fatigue, pale skin, dizziness, chest tightness, panic attacks, mental confusion, and nightmares. I felt like I was in a living nightmare or in a horror movie. That said, it did not even touch my burning, itchy, and violently discharging vagina. Even more, my vagina felt numb on this pill, and no sexual pleasure, even my poor boyfriend started to think that I was going to have a normal vagina and enjoy sex. I will never take this chemical again in my system. Now taking Candex with a probiotic and a yeast-free diet seems to be working. Hoping to bring my vagina into this world again."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I originally had a UTI and was prescribed antibiotics for 5 days. About two days later, I started itching, and the doctor prescribed me this drug. I kid you not, I was so dizzy I thought I was going to fall over. It didn't matter if I was standing up or sitting down. The dizziness was horrible. Oh, I only had one dose of it, and I'm still itching like crazy."

For Systemic Candidiasis "I had systemic candidiasis that affected my mouth, esophagus, gut, and privates. The relief I felt was so fast for my gut. I had horrific burning pain, bloating, GERD, and cramps due to intestinal candida. The relief was so quick! The infections in other areas of my body took about 2-3 days to see results, and I ultimately needed this medicine for a month. Side effects I had were blurred vision (only improved after being off the medicine for a few days), gas, some stomach pain, and some drowsiness (improved as my infection healed)."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "While in Costa Rica, an itchy skin condition that was developing for some time and which I did not know was fungus got worse. Went into a pharmacy and was recommended fluconazole. Within an hour, the itchiness started to subside. By the next day, there was visible improvement. By the end of the first week, chronic Athlete's foot was mostly healed, as was jock itch. Got back to the states, saw my doc, told him I wanted to continue with it to treat the nail fungus. He suggested a different drug. After a month, I stopped seeing improvement. Switched back to fluconazole. Eight years later, I have never gotten Athlete's foot again, and I had it most of my life between two particular toes. It is as if I am permanently inoculated against fungus."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had to have oral surgery and took amoxicillin for two weeks. The dentist prescribed fluconazole, I got the generic. I've used Diflucan in the past with great success. It seems that the generic does NOT work as well as the name brand. Three days and three pills later, I'm still suffering from the yeast infection symptoms."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have been battling a yeast infection for years. I went to my gynae last year, and he prescribed antibiotics and some drugs I could not remember, the yeast got worse after I took these medications. I continued with my symptoms until June 3, 2019, and went to a different gynae who prescribed me fluconazole, another drug, and antibiotics. I decided not to take antibiotics but took fluconazole and the other drug, went to bed, and woke up the next morning cured. It's been a few weeks, and I feel amazing and like a new person. I highly recommend fluconazole for yeast infection."

For Oral Thrush "Stay away from this crap! 11 days ago, I took 1 pill, and ever since, I've been having severe dizziness. I wish I would've just thrown it up. Better yet, I wish someone would've warned me about this. Now, I'm here, crying, wondering when it will end. Pray for me."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "For years I was prescribed Diflucan for frequent recurring yeast infections. It did relieve my symptoms, but the infection would come back. I started doing my own research and found that some women are sensitive to soaps, body washes, shave creams, etc., and that those can cause problems with your pH balance and cause some women to have frequent infections. I started using Vagisil pH Balance wash. This product has changed my life! In the last 5 years since using this product, I have maybe had 3-4 starts to yeast infections, mostly caused by antibiotics. If I feel like I am starting to get a yeast infection (which is rare now), I start taking RepHresh Pro-B (probiotic feminine supplement), and that will help take care of the infection."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "After a round of antibiotics to clear up a UTI, I developed a severe yeast infection with itching, burning, and discharge. Called the doctor, and he prescribed the generic of Diflucan. Took one dose, and symptoms cleared completely in 24 hours. Took the second dose 3 days later and now symptom-free!!!! I do not post reviews often, but I needed to give back to someone who may be suffering like I was. These reviews provide relief when things feel like they can't get any worse. And this magic pill proved that things will get better with time."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I get repetitive yeast infections, so it took three treatments with Diflucan for three different infections before I realized that Diflucan was the thing that was causing the painful, blistering skin rash I was getting about once a month. I was having what is known as 'fixed skin ulceration.' Ulcers in my mouth, blisters on my hands and leg, always in the same exact spots each time and always very painful. No one told me there was even a chance that I was allergic to this medicine, and when I sought treatment for the second and then third episodes, the doctors completely missed it. There needs to be more information out there about this, as the company only reports one previous person ever having this same reaction, yet it happened to me."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Unfortunately, fluconazole was not a great experience for me. And still suffering from the side effects. Do not ignore chills, burning sensations, and skin irritation. I did 2 rounds of fluconazole 72 hours apart. First round, I had a hive on my upper lip for a day, and lady parts were red and irritated. Went back to the doctor, prescribed a second round, which gave a burning sensation to the anus, labia, vulva... have been on fire ever since. Could hardly sit down. 5 days of prednisone to help, now Reactine once daily. Still have burning on the back of legs and butt... it has been almost a month. Pharmacist says it’s just going to take time... ugh. Wish there was something else that would help to get this out of my system as it has been a brutal experience."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had 3 back-to-back yeast infections. The first one I treated myself with a 7-day cream. The second one my doctor saw during my annual pap. I told her I thought I had one, and she said she thought I was correct. She tested me for other infections, but it was, in fact, yeast. So she prescribed Diflucan and gave me 2 pills. I took one that day and one 3 days later. I started noticing an improvement within 24 hours. Let me say that the burning and itching from the yeast infections were SO SEVERE. I even questioned my 10-year partner about his fidelity because I wondered if I had somehow contracted an STI. (Not to his face) I'm not proud of that. It wasn't long, about a month later, and I got ANOTHER yeast infection, and this one, the burning was even worse. I emailed my doctor, and she sent a prescription to the pharmacy. The Diflucan worked the same, started working in about 24 hours."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This drug is a godsend for people who get chronic yeast infections. I just don't know what I would do without it, because the OTC meds do not even TOUCH my yeast infections. We are talking horrible itching and burning to the point of feeling like you want to climb the walls! Sometimes it takes more than 1 dose, but my doctor did tell me this drug was harsh on your liver, and for people like me who already have some liver issues, that is the only thing I worry about when taking it. Otherwise, I just would be in misery all the time without this drug."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm pretty sensitive to medicine, in fact, I get so many side effects I have a long list of medicines I can't take. I didn't get any side effects from Diflucan, so I'm pretty impressed. I read the reviews, and the majority of the negative ones I think were misinterpreted. I don't think half of those were actually from this medicine, so it's a shame they reviewed it so poorly. I have a candida overgrowth that is causing my infections, so I have to take Diflucan once a week for 3 months, so far, no problems."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have taken this medication before, so not sure if something with my body chemistry changed or this medication composition has changed. My experience was a severe allergic reaction causing swelling to my face and lips, with blistering and sores inside my mouth that were extremely painful. I was given a steroid shot and high dosages of prednisone. On day 5, the swelling has just started to go down, but the sores inside my mouth and the scabs on my lips are horrible. I will not take this medication again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "My gynecologist always prescribes 2 150 mg tablets packaged together for a yeast infection. You take one immediately and then the other in 5 days. Works like a charm! I always develop a vaginal yeast infection when I take antibiotics! It's great to have this handy as a preventative!"

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is my second time taking Diflucan. I had an allergic reaction to the medication. My reaction was not listed as their side effects. I instantly started having stinging in my lips. Later that day, my lips were swollen. My tonsils started to get sore. My vagina is swollen, with extreme itching, and painful. It made me develop hemorrhoids. It has been two days, and my symptoms are worse. I am athletic and drink a lot of water. I should’ve never developed hemorrhoids. The itching is unbearable. I am now using OTC creams for the discomfort. I’ve had STD testing for HIV, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, RPR, and HSV. Everything was negative. Be cautious of this medication."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had a severe yeast infection. My labia were inflamed and enlarged with a hard texture. My vulva was extremely itchy, and my doctor prescribed oral fluconazole 150, 2 tablets. The first dose was enough to completely calm down the whole infection. I noticed some changes within 4 hours of taking it. The next day, there was a white debris in my vulva, which was evidence of the yeast being killed off. I still had another dose left over and noticed great changes with just one dose."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I take this medication regularly for chronic yeast infections. I have a bad immune system as well as a stomach disorder. I never have any noticeable side effects. The first 12 or so hours are the worst while the yeast is being killed off. The itching gets extreme, and I make sure I have nothing planned that day. Within 24 hours, the symptoms are minimal, and I feel almost normal. It's my go-to."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I always get yeast infections. Especially after I finish a round of antibiotics for an ear infection or whatever it may be. Before, I always tried using creams, and it would take days to clear out. Sometimes it wouldn't clear, and I would have to go to the doctor and get another cream. Such a headache. I finally got a great gyno who prescribed this to me, and I thought, hmm, a pill? That's odd. Took the pill that morning, by nighttime, I was feeling much better, and the next day the discharge was way, way less. By two days, it was gone. And it stays in your system for seven days, so it helps prevent the infection from coming back. Works wonders! Thanks, Diflucan! My most recent infection, though, did require two doses of Diflucan. FYI. :)"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I never write reviews for things online because I usually feel like it's a waste of time. I got a yeast infection about a week ago (Monday 2/1/16) and finally went in to my doctor to get something to treat it on Thursday (2/4/16). My doctor gave me the one-time pill fluconazole and I went online to look at reviews. I was terrified to take the fluconazole because there were so many bad reviews! People saying that they had terrible nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.... I prepared for the worst. But the worst never came! I might have had slight nausea after about 24 hours, but that's really it. Instead, it started to take effect and the itchiness began wearing off. Today, 2/8/16, I am completely free of itching. Fluconazole is great!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I know I have a yeast infection after only a couple of days of itching and burning. I got the medicine from my doctor and took it immediately; don't wait weeks or months to call the doctor. BTW, you can give a yeast infection to your boyfriend, so don't have sex until you are cured. Because he can give it right back to you, then you think the medicine didn't work. Use your head, ladies; if it's itching and burning and discharging, keep your legs closed and call the Dr. ASAP!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "It's been about 6 hours since I took it, and it feels like my symptoms went away. However, about 45 minutes after taking it, I had the worst panic attack that I've had in a long time. Granted, I have anxiety disorder, but I haven't had a bad panic attack like that in almost a year. Just an FYI for those with anxiety or panic disorder."
