HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Any antibiotic can increase the risk of yeast infection because it causes a change in the normal vaginal flora.

It is possible that the use of probiotics may help reduce your risk of yeast infection with antibiotics in the future.
If you have a current infection then you would need to obtain an antifungal.

I hope this helps
