Hi there

The best thing to do is ask your OB/GYN for a prescription for Diflucan. It is an oral tablet that you take one time (one tablet - one time) and then if you have any lingering symptoms, you can another one in 3 days.

This is the best thing to use while on your period, as the cream and suppositories will be flushed as your flow runs out of your vagina and will not be fully therapeutic.

Do you have to have an appointment to get this prescription or can you just call your doctor?

Accepted Answer

Hi there

No, for something this simple....you just simply call the office. Make sure you tell them you have been on antibiotics, so they know what has caused it.

They should be happy to call this in for you.
