Please help me. Can I continue taking Biaxin, Mepron, and plaquenil along with diflucan and still defeat yeast?
I know there could be some interactions with Biaxin, but I don't care...I have taken them together before without any problems.
Babs is flaring and I have only missed meds since Monday. LLMD said take Mepron, art, and flagyl. I don't feel comfortable doing this and don't feel like I can talk to him about it. I questioned him at appt. but he did it anyway. I don't want Mepron to become resistant by leaving out Biaxin.
He took away Biaxin because it causes yeast, yet added Flagyl 500mg three times daily...makes absolutely no sense to me. Flagyl causes major yeast issues.
I just switched to this LLMD 2 months ago...absolutely exhausted with getting the wrong treatment everywhere I turn.

do you take any probiotics? Diflucan will get rid of yeast, but when you take antibiotics you need a good probiotic as well.
Try Theralac or Florastar. i believe both are dot com. Not cheap, but worth every penny to keep yeast at bay.

Yes, I take VSL #3 DS (prescription)...one of the best probiotics.

Flagyl is the major player in yest you are right. Take some diflucan 200 mg a day you will be OK also probiotics and stay away from foods that contain sugar. Take care

So stay on abx while treating yeast?

Is no one concerned that diflucan daily is TERRIBLE for the liver??????
