Please help!! Fluconazole?

Question

My doctor prescribed Fluconazole for my yeast infection. But I'm reading scary crap!

I asked the pharmacist 'this is safe for pregnancy right?' And she said 'of course.'

It's a low dosage and I'm 16 weeks pregnant.

Answer

You're perfectly safe. If you're not comfortable there are many folk remedies that you can find on the Internet which are all natural and much safer. In my opinion those do work, but they take a few days to really see results. In the end it's your decision, but I really don't think that prescription is dangerous.

Answer

Your doctor knows ur pregnant they wouldn't give u something u can't take

Answer

It's fine to take while pregnant.

Answer

***Just an update on this drug in pregnancy... some recent studies have shown that even a single dose of fluconazole (brand name is Diflucan) is potentially associated with miscarriage, etc. where it was previously thought that a single dose had negligible risk. The recommendation now is to use the OTC vaginal yeast infection products instead (still consult your OB).

Answer

If you are really spooked try Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support Probiotics ... Helps balance your PH levels ... It's a daily pill.. Keep refrigerated ... Should clear up in a couple of days ... And nurse says probiotics does not get into the blood stream so it's safe during pregnancy .. Read reviews for more info (Vitamin Shoppe and/or Amazon)
