Re: Help please - How long between diflucan and Valtrex ??

[Guest guest]

,

Oh, I think I got things mixed up. I thought you had to be on

diflucan and valtrex at the same time.i.e you had to give for

instance 250mg of valtrex 3 times a day plus say 50mg of diflucan

also three times a day. Howver from my understnading now , you give

lets say 250mg of valtrex three times a day and antifungal say 50mg

at night. Correct ? If the 50mg of Diflucan once a day is not

enough,this may need to be increased to 100mg.Is this correct ??

Then, if the yeast is under control, could it be that we can go a

few weeks without diflucan (but the valtrex would continue as normal

everyday).Have I got it ? Hence, diflucan is only introduced every

now and then when the yeast is starting to flare up again.

Sorry if this is long winded but I just need to make sure I

understand.
