Diflucan� As An Effective Treatment Of Candida Yeast Infections



Effective Medication

Diflucan (Fluconazole tablets) is one of the most effective treatments for recurring yeast infections. Available in a variety of strengths, the most effective dose appears to be approximately 150 mg, once. For treatment of multiple diseases, the daily (or single) dose may vary due to doctors' orders, medical protocol, and other factors.

There are several advantages of taking Diflucan instead of an over-the-counter treatment for yeast infections, although, like all drugs, there are significant side effects and the possibility of building immunity to the active ingredient. However, as the package indicates, the medication (a single pill) is to be taken immediately, rather than waiting for bedtime to administer traditional suppositories, creams, or other treatments as prescribed.

While the results of Diflucan for treating yeast infections can take approximately 24 hours to be felt in terms of relief from pain and/or itching, other treatments for localized discomfort can still be used and may still be required. Ice packs offer relief from pain, and anti-fungal or vaginitis creams have varied effects, depending on the patient's response system.

Many doctors caution that the use of Diflucan will create an ineffective tolerance to the treatment, and offer stronger-than-general prescriptions for creams and lotions. However, for those with autoimmune deficiency diseases and other disorders, Diflucan is part of a maintenance regimen to keep the possibility of yeast infections to a minimum. Diflucan is an extremely reliable and wonderful treatment for those who are plagued with a most uncomfortable condition, but it is not a cure-all and should be used while treating underlying causes--one of the most common being diabetes.

Financial Assistance Available

Patients who meet federal guidelines for assistance, including a lack of prescription drug coverage and a reasonably nominal financial income, can contact patient assistance areas at their local hospitals or request information from their doctors for assistance in obtaining Diflucan for yeast infections, presuming the patient needs more than an occasional dose. In addition, web sites such as www.NeedyMeds.com and www.pparx.org (Partnership for Prescription Assistance as advertised on television by Montel Williams). Those without Internet access may call for 1-888-477-2669 to speak with someone in English, Spanish and, according to the website, approximately 150 other languages.

Needy Meds allows the patient to research Diflucan and provides the instructions with the forms required--some must be filled out by a physician. In addition, financial information (such as the last tax form submitted) is required for the first order of the new year--refills don't necessary require financial updates.
