Diflucan - Brand vs. Generic?
Every time I'm on antibiotics I get a yeast infection. Brand name Diflucan works, but generic Fluconazole doesn't (even though Diflucan is Fluconazole). Can someone explain why? Is it something to do with the fillers/inactive ingredients?
Also, I've noticed cranberry pills in the pharmacy. My doctor used to tell me to drink cranberry juice & eat yogurt when I am on antibiotics, but I can't stand either (horrible childhood memories of the stuff being forced down my throat for UTI's). If I started taking cranberry pills would that lower my chances of getting a YI when on antibiotics?

cranberry pills are to keep from getting UTIs. Yogurt works when you are on an antibiotic and don't want a yeast infection. Also those little DanActive drinks work as well.

Fluconazole is used to treat serious fungal or yeast infections, such as vaginal candidiasis, oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush, oral thrush), esophageal candidiasis (candida esophagitis), other candida infections (including urinary tract infections, peritonitis [inflammation of the lining of abdomen or stomach], and infections that may occur in different parts of the body), or fungal (cryptococcal) meningitis. This medicine works by killing the fungus or yeast, or preventing its growth.
no , not if u take cranberry pill u can avoid striel intestine syndrom ( d/t antibiotics normal flora of intestine is decreas ) , so talk about ur yeast infe than u sud go for blood suger first as it's common in diabetics if ur sugar is normal go for high vaginal sweb bcoz we sud identify yeast or fungal & which type it & which antifungal is more sensetive it all possibel after high vaginal sweb than take complet course of antifungal, as with out this u taeks fluconazol ( a antifungal ) u r supressing infe but not irrediating so it relapce, ok , best of luck, that's my view
