I have developed a sensitivity to pink diflucan or fluconazole.
I was taking a white one but now my pharmacist can't get them any more.
Does anyone on this board take white diflucan tablets? I really need to find some but have not had any success.

I took it for a limited time awhile ago, and they were tiny white pills. I forget the dosage I'm afraid.
It may be the difference between generic and brand name. Sometimes the binders in the generic make people sick. This isn't a lyme thing, its just a normal issue. Oddly enough, pink Lortab (generic vicodin) makes my mother (non lyme) and I sick, but brand name white vicodin doesn't.

Hi, I developed some sort of reaction to the pink pills also. The white ones are OK and are generic
Please PM me with your location.

We had white 100 mg when we started generic diflucan 14 months ago.
The most recent re-fill, maybe during the summer, was pink. I did call the pharmacy and pink is the new white.
I'm thinking white is still out there but now more expensive than the pink. Drug stores are thinking bottom line. If you could find out the brand name of the white, I think you whould have more success finding it.

The brand I was taking was made by Sandoz. I have called the company and they have stopped making all generic diflucan for now. She said they would start back but doesn't know when or if it will be white or pink.
I just thought maybe someone out there was able to get white and if I knew the brand name my pharmacist could order them.
I have contacted several generic pharmaceutical companies and they only have pink. I have contacted all the drug stores near me and they only have pink.
I also contacted a compounding pharmacy and they can only legally compound a drug if it isn't already being made - so they said I would have to have a mg. prescribed that isn't being made now. I haven't gone that route yet.

The ones I got last year are 200mg made by TEVA - they aren't real white, sorta somewhere in-between pink and white. I once developed hives from pink Paxil and had to stop it, but I've never had any problems with these. Maybe you can try them. Good luck.

Thanks Laurie, I have a bottle of TEVA also and can't tolerate it either. It is kind of a pink/peach color. Don't know whether it is the color or binders, etc.
Oh well.
I think I will try Sporanex and maybe nystatin.
Thanks everyone.
