: I take 200mg Diflucan once a week when I'm only on zithromax. I notice that taking 250mg zithro daily is worse for vaginal yeast than 500mg Mon, Weds, Friday. So I stick with the M,W,F routine and I take my diflucan once a week.
: When I go on IV antibiotics I increase the diflucan to every third day. It helps. If that doesn't work, I take a 7 day course of Monistat anti fungal cream.
: Sometimes I stop the zithro all together for a month at a time to just "reset" the vaginal bacteria.
: Eating yogurt (it has probiotics) is supposed to help, but it's never helped me. Taking probiotic pills are also supposed to help, but they have never helped me.

Hi Tara, great tips ! my Dr wants me to be on Zithromax all the time and said I can take the M, W, F, routine if I like or just the one 250mg every day. I didnt think it was good at all to stop the Zithro for a month at a time ? sometimes I just dont get why they put us on all this stuff if they know what it does ! not being a woman they just dont get it ! sometimes I also dont see the benefit of it at all. I have been told by the pharmacist that those probiotic pills are good but I dont see how they can affect the vagina ? they are also really expensive !
