Safe to take yeast infection pill while on antibiotics?

Question

I had a bacterial infection last week and I'm on my 5th day taking the antibiotics but now I have a yeast infection. Is it safe to take this yeast infection pill now? Or wait to take it after I finish the antibiotics? But this yeast infection is killing me omg. Also is it's safe to take the pill while prego? I'm 29 wks and 6 days. My doc says it is so I guess so

Answer

If your doctor says it's safe he/she knows better then we do.

Answer

So it actually might be beneficial to do so. Antibiotics can actually cause a yeast infection, so taking the pill now is good.

Answer

Which pill is it? When I'm not pregnant and take antibiotics I take flucanozole on about the third or fourth day of the antibiotic treatment to prevent a yeast infection (my doctor co-prescribes them because otherwise I always get a yeast infection with antibiotics).   My doctor and pharmacist both said flucanozole isn't safe during pregnancy though, so when I needed antibiotics I was prescribed a cream to treat a yeast infection if it turned up. Interestingly,  I've needed antibiotics twice this pregnancy but didn't get a yeast infection either time.

Answer

My doctor told me taking the pill isn't safe during pregnancy. They recommend using over the counter cream like Monistat 7, that you insert vaginally and you only insert the tube halfway.
