Of course, if your primary site of candida is in the gut, a one-time dose won't even touch it. But it is a useful drug in killing systemic candida.... Dr Crook uses it, and so do lots of other yeast docs. It's jsut a higher dose for a longer period of time than the one-time dose for minor vaginal cases.
