Diflucan Medical Treatments for Yeast Overgrowth

Nystatin, an anti-fungal medication, has been helpful in the treatment of yeast overgrowth. Unfortunately, some fungi seem to be developing resistance to nystatin. In addition, nystatin is poorly absorbed, which means that it has little impact on the yeast outside of the bowel. Other anti-fungal medications, such as Diflucan and Sporanox, seem to be effective systemically (throughout the body) but they have two main drawbacks. First, they are expensive, costing more than $450 to S900 for a two-month course. Happily, Diflucan just went generic and can now be found for $40/month. Second, any effective anti-fungal can initially make the symptoms of yeast infection worse. If you get this reaction, start your treatment with Acidophilus Pearls, a sugar-free diet, plus Phytostan for a few weeks before beginning the Nystatin and Diflucan.

Although it is uncommon, Diflucan and Sporanox can also cause liver inflammation. If you are taking Diflucan or Sporanox for more than 6 to 12 weeks, I would consider intermittent blood tests to check liver function—specifically checking blood levels of ALT and AST, two inexpensive and good indicators of injury to the liver. If you have preexisting active liver disease, you should be cautious about using Diflucan or Sporanox—or do not use them at all. I recommend taking 200 to 300 mg of lipoic acid a day whenever you take Sporanox or Diflucan.

This is a natural supplement that helps to protect and heal the liver (and can also be helpful for nerve pain). I also recommend lipoic acid for anyone with nerve pain (200 to 300 mc 2 to 3 times a day) or active liver disease (e.g. hepatitis), at doses up to 1,000 to 3,000 mg a day, as it may prevent and/or help treat cirrhosis (lipoic acid is not in the vitamin powder).
