Brief Answer:
Zpac is not used for yeast infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The drugs are not used for yeast infection. No yeast infection is treated with a shot or Zpack. I am not sure she has an STD but am sure the yeast infection she might have stated is not exactly what she's being treated for. Talk to her to clarify this with her doctor. This is important to you because if it is an STD, then you need to be investigated and treated as well.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me on this if need be. Keep me updated as well.
