Dο I still take Tetracycline whіlе taking Monistat 7, Or dο i ѕtοр Tetracycline completely fοr gοοd cause іt caused thе yeast infection.
Lіkе whаt dο I dο?
continue taking both, οr ѕtοр Tetracycline?
Antibiotics don’t cause yeast infections. What they can do is kill off many of the beneficial bacteria in the vagina and allow candida albicans fungus to take over. Tetracycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic so this isn’t surprising.
You should probably not stop taking a medication without talking with the doctor who prescribed it. I’m not aware of any negative interactions between miconazole and tetracycline but when in doubt speak to the doc.
As advised do not stop taking tetracycline. In fact, I believe when you are taking the medication you are told you can not stop taking it until your done with the prescription. I would follow up with the prescribing doctors nurse. What you should always do while taking a course of antibiotics is eat plenty of yogurt and take plenty of acidophillus supplements. You might need a round of oral medication like diflucan. Monistat may not work if you still have to take the tetracycline, and antibiotic associated yeast infections are harder to control and take care of. Antibiotics are over used, and I understand that acne is horrible but try Proactiv or an over the control acne kit to take care of the problem rather than something that weakens your immune system.
you still finish out your medication, you do not stop taking medication unless the doctors says so, just go ahead you use the monistat you dont want the yeast infection to get so bad that your so irritated, its important that you finish all medication continue taking both unless the doctor tells you to stop,
