When to take fluconazole while on antibiotics?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I had bronchitis a few months ago and the doctor put me on amoxcicillan which caused me to get a horrible yeast infection. It was MISERABLE. I ended up going back for the yeast infection and was given a fluconazole tablet which cleared up my symptoms.

Now, I have some sort of respiratory infection and I've been put on more antibiotics (for 10 days). I told them about the yeast infection from before so they prescribed me two tablets of fluconazole.

when should I take these in order to prevent another infection? The doctor did not specify. Should I take one at the start of the antibiotics and one when they're finished? One halfway through? I cannot bear to get another yeast infection like that.

Please help!

    I would take them only if symptoms began, or ask you're pharmacist. Hope you're feeling better soon.

    Take your time and space out the medication, you do not want to take the medication too close together, too far apart works against you. Ask your doctor.
