I just wondered if malarone and mepron are as bad for yeast infections and candida as the abx.

I don't have an answer, but I know that my llmd kept me on nystatin and the no sugar/yeast diet while on Malarone.

Thanks, I am taking a bit of time off anyway. I wasn't sure if malarone did or not. It never seemed to be bad except when I was on abx.

Good question. I was wondering this myself. I am on a small dose of Malarone and getting yeast. I didn't think it was possible from this medicine.

No matter what drug you're on .. or even if you're not taking ANY abx, STAY ON THE PROBIOTICS AND FOLLOW A GOOD DIET!! [Smile]
