.MeeraGarcia and Anna Maya Powell, professors in gynecology & obstetrics, explain why antibiotics can cause yeast.
Some patients who are prone to yeast infections can simply take a one-dose antifungal medication, Diflucan, at the same time as their antibiotics, both doctors said. Taking antifungal medication and antibiotics simultaneously is safe, though they cautioned against doing so if you're pregnant. And, if you're taking any medication that might interfere, ask your doctor first. Dr.
."When it's taken by mouth, it's poisonous, but when taken as suppository, it brings the pH down to lab-grade acid. And, when the vagina is at that level, it prevents the overgrowth of yeast.", whether or not it was caused by antibiotics, Diflucan is recommended. Dr. Garcia noted that sometimes people prefer creams in the vagina that tend to give symptomatic relief as well."One is called Terconazole or Terazol, and you can do a three-day course or a four-day course.
For people with recurrent yeast infections, one of the maintenance regimens is weekly Diflucan that you can use for up to six months at a time, Dr. Powell said. And, remember, if you are prone to yeast infections and are prescribed antibiotics for a bacterial infection, you should consider requesting an antifungal medication that you could take at the same time because, Dr. Powell said, that's probably the most effective.
