What Causes Mouth Ulcers While On Xifaxan And Clotrimazole?
After taking Xifaxan 550 mg tablets, 1 tablet twice a day, for 21 days, gastro doctor treated me for oral yeast infection wth Clotrimazole 10mg, and then Nystatin, 100,000 units/susp. (about 2 months ago). Just recently finished a second round of both medicines (about 2 weeks ago). Now on Carafate, combined with benadryl to treat swollen taste buds and mouth ulcers. Is the cause of all the mouth problems due to Xifaxan?

Hello,
As a first-line management you can take multivitamin pills like Supradyn for symptomatic relief.
Triamcinolone mouth paste can also be applied. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
