How Effective Is Fluconazole In Treating In Yeast Infection?

Hi I was wondering I had been prescribed Fluconazole for my yeast infection and a miconazole nitrate 2% cream i was wondering can i just use the cream and give my partner the fluconazole so we both can be cured of yeast infection or is that a bad thing to do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query .I have gone through your query .If doctor prescribe you fluconazole and miconazole cream together .it means infection is severe and infection is extrenal as well as internal.

I would suggest you to go with your medication strictly as per prescription. because if you don't go with prescription it may be possible that infection will not go away or reoccur or it develop resistance against medicine.

If your partner has same problem he/she should consult doermatologist and get drug prescribe only according to doctor .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
