I think its great that a small pink pill replaced nights of inputting creams and days of it leaking out. My experience was positive very satisfied with results and will use again if needed. No side effects - took pill out night before bed just in case. I get yeast infections offen because I think I have allergies from my husbands semin, for real. for some reason if I let him do his business inside...

This is terrible medication. I have been having stomach problems since I took this stupid medication for the first time (and last time. It wrecked my colon. I think it wiped off my digestive system from all good bacteria and I am still suffering greatly. Had I known or read the comments before taking it, I would have flushed this pill down the toilet!

I would giive this drug a zero! It burned all my insides and dried me up! Hives and inflammation of throat. Beware… stick to the creams or suppositories.

I'm prone to sinus infections and have to take antibiotics at least once a year when it gets bad. The antibiotics also kill the good bacteria so I get a yeast infection every time. My doctor prescribes 2 pills of fluconazole 150mg- 1 initial and 1 in 7 days if I still have symptoms. I get some minor side effects (dizziness, nausea) but it's incredibly effective in getting rid of the yeast infection. I'll take some minor side effects over the dryness, itchiness, pain and smell of a yeast infection any day! And yes, the warnings specifically state against using it if you have preexisting heart conditions because it can cause palpitations. Read More Read Less

Was prescribed fluconazole for what appeared to be a yeast infection, horrible burning, no itching, went to the doctor and got looked at- I usually read the inserts but this time I decided not to be “paranoid” and just take the meds, I have never in my life regretted taking something like I do now. I have a heart arrhythmia and read I shouldn’t have taken this. I took the single 150mg tab, I’ve had anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, palpitations, nausea acid reflux, I feel terrible. I slept for 45 minutes yesterday. Then I read that these symptoms can stick around, and this medication stays in your body for days. This medication needs to be taken off the market and banned, if I had read the reviews and warnings prior to taking it, I NEVER would have taken this. I would rather deal with yeast infection than heart problems. Read More Read Less

Do Not Keeping Taking if you keep getting yeast infections. They will just keep coming back! Was on it for 7 months, The best thing I did was stop taking it and used OTC monsistat or store brand and it eventually stopped. The side effects were so bad I couldn’t go a day without feeling nauseous and headachy and feeling disgusted cause the YI was so bad. I think I may have gotten yeast infections from drinking too many sweet alcohol beverages or using those feminine spray products. I stopped both. Read More Read Less

Been living with itchy shaft and glans for a couple months. Full STD panel showed negative results across the board, so did a second one. Glans burned during sex and got a red and rashy look. Odc diagnosed me with a penile yeast infection (apparently dudes can get them too). 1 pill brought relief in a few hours, took the second one a couple days later just to be sure. Worked like a charm and I'm back in operation!

Most people who post do so due to a less than stellar experience. Similar to an atrocious dining event from the past. Yeast infections are appalling and dreadful, however, a tiny pill can be a savior. Many gallons of H2O later and restful nights… your vag will be bread factory free!! For those with side effects and allergic reactions, I feel for you. Stay blessed and waxed ladies!!

THE ONE NEGATIVE IS THE TASTE IF IT SITS IN YOUR MOUTH A BIT AND YOURE LIKE ME AND HATE TAKING PILLS. I BASICALLY LET IT DISOLVE IN WATER AND SLOWLY DRINK IT. I KNOW ITS NOT RECOMMENDED BUT THATS WHAT I DO AND IT WORKS EVERYTIME. I DONT GET ANY SIDE EFFECTS. I STAND BY THIS. YOU TAKE IT ONCE AND IT CURES YOU THE NEXT FEW DAYS. NO MESSY CREAMS NO REPEATS. JUST ONE AND DONE. SOME REVIEWS ARE TERRIFYING ON HERE. BUT I NEEDED TO POST A POSITIVE ONE.

This is horrible. It was also my doctor's fault: very bad infection that made me bleed 3 times because of the wounds caused by it. Only got me 1pill of 150 mg. All went fine part from some diarrhea and constipation later on, relief of pain was only 3 days later (halved the amount of pain), also took it with the cream, after 6 days I felt the pain was gone. But then on day 6-7 after taking it, I got cramps so severe, was like I was being punched in the stomach the whole time. Was very fatogued, and didn't have any appetite. A couple of days after I stopped treatment, it came back. Could damage your liver and kidneys, which it did 20 years ago to me when they put me on a weekly dose for about 2 (!!) years. Got yellow liver stains under the eye. Read More Read Less

I recently had a vestibulectomy which caused a vaginal yeast infection. My doctor prescribed fluconazole at 200mg, 3 doses each taken 3 days apart. After taking the first dose I noticed a really small rash on my hand but didn’t think much of it and it didn’t spread. The next two days though I felt awful. Nauseous, achey, horrible headache. I basically felt like I had a horrible flu. I was supposed to take my second dose the next day, but was terrified. I called my doctor and got approval to wait and see if the first dose was enough. Luckily it was. However, my side effects have continued. I’m now on day 10 and has continued to have stomach issues, I’ve lost about 5lbs because I just can’t eat much. I have horrible panic attacks where I can’t get my breathing under control. I wake up with my heart pounding out of my chest. I have tremors in my legs and general weakness and fatigue. I will say my symptoms are SLOWLY improving, but come on, 10 days since taking the first dose and it’s still in my system?? I am so glad for the people this drug has worked for, but for me it has been misery.Read More Read Less

i got my first vaginal yeast infection a few days ago and was spooked beyond compare but also, i am an insane biologist, so obviously i became very obsessive and observational of my symptoms. i looked at my vag before and after taking the pill and at first i could see white overgrowth. it was itchy and inflamed, and interacting with it was mildly painful. i also felt... it's weird to describe it this way, but i felt "full"? bloated, i guess. i assume that this was my body's inflammation kicking in to try and kill the infection. it was deeply uncomfortable. i tried to make appointments with doctors at my primary's place and in surrounding health clinics, but lots of places were overbooked and some didn't do lab imaging (required for yeast infection + BV diagnosis.) i actually recommend going to urgent care if you can stand the long wait times. i got myself examined and was prescribed fluconazole (2 pills, one to take immediately and the other to take after 3 days if symptoms didn't improve.) after less than a day of taking the medicine, the white overgrowth was completely gone from the outside. the redness and itchiness was still there, but not as bad as it was for the few days i was without medicine. thinking back on it, i think this drug started working within the first two hours of me taking it. i was extremely impressed! i still have some redness and itchiness, but i think it's just residual inflammation from the infection. it's up to my body now to get rid of all the debris. the one thing i will say is that i did experience a bit of an upset stomach after taking this drug, and there is some discharge and grossness that is unavoidable. be patient and clear it away as best you can, be sure to pat yourself dry all the time as you don't want any straggling candida to get a foothold, and eat yogurt + drink water. :) good luck!

Don't try the chemist own brands as they definitely don't get rid of the thrush.

My dr said I tested positive for candida during my last pap. (I had no symptoms, so I'm guessing it was a minor overgrowth.) She prescribed one pill. It made me quite ill! First 24-48 hours: vertigo, pounding heart palpitations (I’ve had them before, but these were worse and repetitive,) bloody nose (very rare for me & lasted ~10m,) nasty headache, nausea, fatigue, malaise, GI issues It's been 10 days and I'm still dealing with dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, and malaise. It's difficult to get through the day. Wondering WHEN I'll feel better! Read More Read Less

This medication has completely changed my taste buds. I know for a fact because things starting taste weird the day I took them…I am left feeling frustrated not being able to put a finger on what exactly changed but it is just wrong…food tastes different and only some things taste appealing, leading to unhealthy eating habits. I can say that it was a lot worse the first week but it has been a month now. I have accepted this because it completely cleared my tinea versicolor which was something that had been bothering me for years. Just be aware, the symptoms can get intense. I don’t think this is listed as a common symptom so I don’t want to scare anyone off with this.Read More Read Less

I suffer from Tinea Versicolor. While I have to say the side effects are terrible. Food tastes disgusting, I am excreting a specific smell that also is similar to what I’m tasting..very annoying. Due to that I have no appetite but for some reason a lot of trapped gas resulting in cramping so bad I could cry. There are some other side effects that I had felt but these ones the most after my 2nd week on the meds ( 400mg). Through this, my rash is almost completely gone! I’m talking 2/3 years of having this and just dealing with it. So while the side effects suck…I’m pleased with the results.Read More Read Less
