Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Take All The Ten Tablets Of Fluconazole Prescribed For A Yeast Infection?
I have a yeast infection. My dr prescribed fluconazole (100 mg tab). The rx was for 10 tabs. Do I need to take all 10 of them? Usually only 1 to 3 is needed. I don t want to take too much. Did she just send me extra for later since I get yeast infections fairly often. The rx reads to take 1 tablet by mouth every day.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Fluconazole usually taken in a weekly basis. You can take two tablets on a day and repeat the same after one week. If infection is severe you can take one tablet per day. Do not take all at once.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
