Hi,

I am not a doctor (or fortune teller) so I can't predict if it will cause any problems.

What I can say that being on Diflucan once for 4 months did nothign bad to me, and I have since been on it for 30 days and again 30 days then 10 days and another 10 days.......no problem so far.

I've been on Diflucan with minocycline for 4 months. No problem and I like it. Just have to get periodic blood tests to check liver values.

I took it for about 2 months and then the nurse called one day and told me to stop it immediately. My blood work showed a high liver count. I had to go in for blood work the whole time I was on it every 3 weeks.

So, now I'm just using a lot of probiotics and eating low carb. It seems to be okay for now.

I took Difulcan for a few months 200-400 mg/day.
For me it was an easy drug and my liver just loved it.

diflucan can be hard on
liver--

Nystatin Powder is Very
effective and is said not
to be absorbed by body--

It may be less expencive too

Nystatin Powder has to be
Keep Cold--make sure pharmacy
knows this when you order-
If it gets warm its ruined--

Nystatin pills dont need
to be stored cold-but are
not as effective--

Also it is good to change candida
meds every two weeks or so--
so do both

Oil of Orgeno works well too-

No carb diet is very important-

I've been on 100 mg daily of diflucan since 3-05; don't see any difference but with so many meds in my body ... hard to see what is good & not good.
