| Effectiveness: | | Moderately Effective |
| Side effects: | | Moderate Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Yeast Infection |
| Dosage & duration: | | 1 single dose pill taken repeated dose 2x, one week apart for the period of 1 week |
| Other conditions: | | none |
| Other drugs taken: | | none | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Eliminate yeast infection |
| Side effects: | | The yeast infection occurred after taking oral antibiotics. After I took the first dose of Diflucan, I developed an itchy, raised, red, rough rash on both sides of my face and the yeast infection only moderately improved. I took a second dose a week later and the same problem occurred. After that incident I discontinued use. The Diflucan never did resolve the yeast problem and for months after I continued to suffer from skin rashes that may or may not have been related. Eventually the yeast problem went away by taking probiotics and an herbal Usnea tincture. |
| Comments: | | One single dose oral pill. Repeated dose one week later. |
