Talk with your doctor about any drugs you are now taking—you are more likely to get a vaginal yeast infection if you are taking certain drugs such as antibiotics, steroids or birth control pills. Do not stop taking these drugs without first asking your doctor.
How do I treat a yeast infection while on antibiotics?It's common to experience yeast infections while on antibiotics because your body's normal bacteria die off. By taking probiotic supplements, which are made of live bacteria, you can help support the natural bacteria population in and on your body that keeps yeast infections from occurring or getting worse.
Can I get a yeast infection while on antibiotics?Sadly, yes. The risk of getting a yeast infection after taking antibiotics is between 10-30%. All antibiotics can cause yeast infections, but there are a few factors that can determine your likelihood of getting a yeast infection after a course of antibiotics.
When should I take yeast infection pill while on antibiotics?You might be instructed to take one pill on the first day and another pill every seven days until you finish the antibiotics. This should help to prevent an overgrowth of yeast while taking antibiotics.
