Taking anitbiotics..how soon for yeast?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know how soon you can get yeat from taking antibiotics?

I started on Cipro 500 yesterday morning (a bladder infection). 2 x

day (takin 3 so far) and noticed increased vaginal burning after the

2nd pill.

Is that too soon for yeast?

Cipro can cause burning because it is one of those antibiotics that cause

problems in the digestive tract. I guess whatever causes problems there would

also cause vulvar problems if the stuff causes imflammation.

I always eat yogurt when I take antibiotics. Some of them say not to use dairy

and if so I wait a couple of hours after taking the pill or eat the yogurt an

hour or so before taking the pill.

But I have never knowingly gotten a yeast infection from antibiotics. I only

got one many years ago and don't know what caused it.

I found the following which seems to indicate that SUPPLEMENTS should not be

taken with Cipro but that food is all right.

CIPRO DRUG INFO

HOW TO USE: Take tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on

the prescription label. Swallow cipro tablets whole with a

full glass of water. Although this medicine can be taken with

meals, it is best to take ciprofloxacin on an empty stomach.

One hour before or two hours after meals is the preferred

time. Do not take with magnesium/aluminum antacids,

sucralfate, Videx® (didanosine) chewable/buffered tablets or

pediatric powder, or with other products containing calcium,

iron or zinc. Cipro may be taken two hours before or six hours

after taking these products. Cipro should not be taken with

dairy products (such as milk or yogurt) or calcium-fortified

juices alone; however, cipro may be taken with a meal that

contains these products. Take your doses at regular intervals.

Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Finish the

full course prescribed by your prescriber or health care

professional even if you think your condition is better. Do

not stop taking except on your prescriber's advice.

I don't know where your directions originated but very often when folks

reproduce directions they abbreviate them.
