Diflucan – Brand vs. Generic?
Every time I’m on antibiotics I get a yeast infection. Brand name Diflucan works, but generic Fluconazole doesn’t (even though Diflucan is Fluconazole). Can someone explain why? Is it something to do with the fillers/inactive ingredients?
Also, I’ve noticed cranberry pills in the pharmacy. My doctor used to tell me to drink cranberry juice & eat yogurt when I am on antibiotics, but I can’t stand either (horrible childhood memories of the stuff being forced down my throat for UTI’s). If I started taking cranberry pills would that lower my chances of getting a YI when on antibiotics?
no , not if u take cranberry pill u can avoid striel intestine syndrom ( d/t antibiotics normal flora of intestine is decreas ) , so talk about ur yeast infe than u sud go for blood suger first as it’s common in diabetics if ur sugar is normal go for high vaginal sweb bcoz we sud identify yeast or fungal & which type it & which antifungal is more sensetive it all possibel after high vaginal sweb than take complet course of antifungal, as with out this u taeks fluconazol ( a antifungal ) u r supressing infe but not irrediating so it relapce, ok , best of luck, that’s my view
wtf does that answer say?
cranberry pills are to keep from getting UTIs. Yogurt works when you are on an antibiotic and don’t want a yeast infection. Also those little DanActive drinks work as well.
