"So I had bv and got the tday vaginal treatment which I ended tuesday 3/15/16 and shortly after developed a yeast infection. I visited the doctor today and took 15mg diflucan and felt better a few hours after. No burning or itching was ever present, I noticed a change in discharge and immediately got seen by a doctor. No side affects. I caught mine the day after I noticed a change."

"I have been miserable. Took a one dose of Diflucan last night and I can say swelling is less but everything else that is awful is still there. But, wine lady, please don't tell me I can't drink wine. I'm almost finished with my glass when I read your review.... Should I take another one-time-dose? I'm way too old for this!!"

"Personally, thus drug gives me a fixed drug eruption in the form of a huge, round rash on one of my breasts that is intensively itchy and burns. It feels like a horrible sunburn. Therefore, I am clearly not a fan."

"This pill don’t work at all!! I took 2 of them for yeast infection and 3 days later I still fill the same but taking to many antibiotics can ruin you pH balance and cause the UTI or yeast infection so I recommend the flucon"

"I took amoxicillin for 10 days which has given me a very painful yeast infection. I was prescribed diflucan and it interacted with the tegretol I take for bipolar. I ended up in the hospital overnight so my kidneys could be flushed out. Be sure to check drug interaction before adding additional meds. I did complete the three day treatment of diflucan under the doctot's advice but still have burning. I am now on the second day of a 3-day Monistat treatment. I am praying this burning subsides so I can get some relief. It has been a month now of pain. Ugh !!"

"I bought this twice in a three week period hoping it would cure a yeast infection i had twice. The first time i took it nothing happened. There was nothing that happened to me. So i thought i should see my obgyn in case it was bacterial vaginosis. The doctor said it was a yeast infection and they gave me 150mg flucanozole. Which is diflucan!! And it worked. Next week later i had a yeast infection again! I bought diflucan again thinking it would work. But guess what??! it did not work! Why the hell did the one from the doctor work. But the one from the store is rubbish. There was more then a week in between taking the first diflucan and the one the doctor prescribed. So it wasn't the two working together. diflucan is a sham!"

"I have had a yeast infection for 5-6 days and was using Monistat until yesterday when I called & got a script for 2 Diflucan150! Took the first one yesterday morning & not much change at all this morning. Will take the second one tomorrow morning & pray it works. I had nor had a yeast infection for at least 10 years. No side effects & drinking lots of water. Having gall bladder surgery on Friday & want this cleared up prior to surgery. Sorry to say the docs offices are not a lot of help. So what else is new???"

"I was prescribed Diflucan one tablet daily for 30 day's. My symptoms were itchiness at night time mostly for a long period of time before treatment. I had a cervical smear last April which came back unusual somehow? I was advised by post to return to gp for retest in 3 month's. (cells need to grow), Anyway didn't the GP phone me within 3 days of me receiving the letter. She advised me to pick up script at front desk and start on augmentin 625mg for 7 days and then take Diflucan 1 a day for 30 days. I have finished my prescribed meds and I have the same itchiness following Diflucan. What do I need to do now, my smear is not due for another while due to antibiotic."

"I was diagnosed with signs of a yeast infection. Having been sick previously. I had taken a strong antibiotic. Microbid. Probably caused the yeast infection. My doctor gave me the dose of 1 pill. I had never heard of it. Usually I would have had to use a cream. Now my vagina has redness inside. Kinda like its burned. Tomorrow I'll be calling the doctors office to be checked. Maybe it was too strong. I don't know. We'll see"

"I had a UTI which I’m prone too I tend to hold my pee when I am sleeping. I know I know it’s a bad habit lol anyways. I have keflex for UTI, and that caused a yeast infection. I thought I’d try some monistat 7 and it only got worse. Finally like three days into the monistat I was like I have to take the diflucan. I was putting it off because apparently it interacts with Zoloft but I called the pharmacist and she was like nope you’re fine take the pill. I would say about an hour after the pill, I felt relief. I was so freaking swollen, irritated, and just in pain down there. I literally wanted to cry before taking the pill. I'm so happy to finally feel relief. For me I had an upset stomach for like 30 mins, then it went away. A day or two later had a bad headache but took some ibuprofen. Also the dosage was 150 mg. Took it in the afternoon like around 3pm. Felt relief around 5pm. Easy to use, not messy like the cream, actually will work…"

"Taken 3 so far in 2.5 months with only minor change in my awful yeast infection. Why didn't just get the regular canesten. Ladies save your money or save your insurance money for something that works ."

"Glad to hear my 150mg one-time dose can cause fatigue, tachycardia, and headache as well as indigestion and heartburn. A lot of vague symptoms like shaking hands, burping, cold extremities too. I thought I had COVID again! I did drink alcohol on day 6 after taking it, which worsened my side effects severely. Now I know I only need to wait and drink a lot of ginger tea and water and keep my meals simple. This site helped me a lot. Don't drink alcohol with this, you'll regret it. No yeast infection, but now I feel sick three days after alcohol. It started with throbbing in my liver, then evolved 24 hours later into many minor, annoying symptoms."

"Diflucan works well, but often I need to take more than one to clear up the vaginal yeast infection. Two, and sometimes three, are needed."

"Seriously, the only medicine that works for any problems. It gets the job done when you have a yeast infection from antibiotics. Fair warning, have this around when you first take antibiotics."

"Recommended dosage was 1 pill. No side effects but unfortunately I'm still itching and uncomfortable 3 days later. I guess it didn't fully work for me."

"Make sure you do NOT drink alcohol when taking this. It works well when my Doctor prescribes three (3) pills, to take every three days. That does the trick!"

"Diflucan always works for me and it works a lot faster than having to use vaginal inserts for days. I'm grateful that such a little pill is so effective."

"After taking one dose of Diflucan I developed a severe rash, it looked like sunburn, on my chest, upper arms, stomach and back. It was extremely itchy. I’m assuming this is an allergic reaction."
