| Condition / reason: | | yeast infection |
| Dosage & duration: | | one pill taken once a day for the period of 3-7 days |
| Other conditions: | | None |
| Other drugs taken: | | Clotrimazole | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | pill added nothing to the treatment process |
| Side effects: | | no known side effects from the pill |
| Comments: | | I was prescribed fluconazole (pill taken orally) and clotrimazole (cream applied topically) for the treatment of candida. I was first told to take the pill, and then use the cream in 3 days if the pill did not work to reduce the yeast infection. I took the pill for 3 days alone, without the cream, and saw no improvement. I took the pill plus the cream for 4 more days, and it slowly started to clear up. I was told that one pill, taken once, and not repeatedly each day, should have cleared it up. |
