I'm taking ampicillin for my acne and i've had two yeast infections in the last 6 months.?

is this normal? and if so what should i do?

Answer:
yes it is normal to get frequent yeast infections while taking an antibiotic especially on a regular basis. talk to your dr about prescibing you diflucan to take when it starts. Alot of doctors prescribe a few diflucans to take with antibiotics. i work in a pharmacy and see alot of prescriptions of antibiotics that also include diflucan. it works great and if u get a low dose your may be able to take it on more of a regular basis to possibly prevent them. just ask your doctor what the best dose for you is.
You need to drink lots of water and eat yogurt with active yeast cultures. This helps prevent the yeast infections you can get from taking antibiotics.
yeah its normal. try a different kind of med i used ta-tra-cylce-len...sorry i could not spell it
Yes it's very common. As long as you continue taking the antibiotic it makes you more likely to get a yeast infection. Try drinking lots of water, cranberry juice, or beer (but not a lot lol). Also try eating yogurt.
You need to decide which one you'd rather have... acne or a yeast infection. You are taking an antibiotic for you acne. Although antibiotics are good, they're meant to get rid of ALL bacteria (good and bad). So, they get rid of the stuff your body still needs. Our bodies need SOME bacteria still! Without it your vagina builds up yeast. My advice: tell your doctor. They'll probably prescribe you Diflucan for your yeast infection, tell you to stop using the antibiotic, and find an alternative topical acne medication.
Well stop taking it and use a pure safe botanical product that will work underneath your skin's surface and get rid of your acne.
