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

[Guest guest]

My sense is that you should be on enough Diflucan long enough to feel

that you've got yeast under control. For us we were on a week and it

was not enough. We started Valtrex, had to stop after 3 days and

regroup and increase antifungal slowly then add Valtrex slowly and

work up to 1000. We dose out the Valtrex 250-500-250 morning

afternoon evening, we give antifungals at bed time, probiotics in the

morning. It's a constant struggle for balance in the beginning, watch

closely and tackle yeast flairs right away. The diet component is

big. Do your best to remove carbs and sugar and you'll have a better

shot at success.

Good luck!

,

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.
