Generic Name: Ketoconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection (ketoconazole)
Ketoconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection Reviews
"Made me a bit nauseous off and on for the first week, then intense, debilitating stomach cramps and diarrhea on the 8th or 9th day of use. Also did not cure the yeast infection. At first it seemed like it was working, then symptoms came back worse than before."
"I have Lyme Disease so I got a yeast Infection from antibiotic usage. My yeast infection is nothing like you will find. Basically just feels like rug burn on the head of my penis. Unfortunately it rubs in my underwear when I walk around so its VERY ANNOYING. I was given Diflucan and it gave me head pressure so they gave Ketoconazole and its my second/third day on it. I have NOT seen any substantial improvements. Yes its helped but this should work faster."
"This drug was one of the only oral anti fungals I wasn’t allergic to and worked amazingly well to clear all yeast infection within the ten day treatment on the lowest dose. Very disappointed that it was removed from use in Australia because some people on long term use of it got serious side effects. You’d think they’d just restrict all long term use rather than remove a very good treatment tablet. Now I have nothing to take or apply that I’m not allergic to or have extreme side effects with."
Nizoral (ketoconazole) "Excellent for vaginal infection."
"Using this as a treatment for yeast infection and skin infection. It has had a remarkable response to the yeast infection, but not so for the skin."
"Using it, but the symptoms seem to occur every month with thick discharge."
"I started itching more and it did not help me at all."
