Medicine For Yeast Infections and Their Risks

This report takes a look at modern medicine for yeast infections and their risks. I personally believe and practice natural and herbal therapies with almost all my health needs, preferring to use a doctor in surgical or extreme prolonged illness. The body if provided the necessary food based nutrients can usually almost always heal itself.

Nystatin is a naturally occurring anti-fungal agent derived from a soil-based yeast (Streptomyces noursei). It is the most widely prescribed medicine for yeast infections and is extremely safe due to it being very poorly absorbed by the body. This poor absorption limits its effectiveness in many cases because it appears to be unable to eradicate yeast infections that are firmly entrenched in the lining of the digestive system. But, Nystatin is effective in reducing the symptoms of yeast infection caused diseases. It is also an extremely effective as a diagnostic tool since you can take it for two weeks without any ill effects. If it gives you relief from the symptoms of your disease, then you most definitely have a yeast infection.

For example, lets assume you have Crohns disease or irritable bowel syndrome. These are two yeast related diseases that modern medicine has no identifiable cause? Have your doctor prescribe Nystatin and take it for two weeks as you practice the candida diet. If you have relief and show some improvement, then you have verified the cause of your disease. You can then continue on the Candida Diet and start herbal and natural therapies.

Including ketoconazole (Nizoral) , fluconazole (Diflucan), , and itraconazole (Sporanox) are medicine for yeast infections that have become quite popular in the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and chronic candida. These are powerful medicine for yeast infections that do have a few side effects that every one should be aware of. All three are completely absorbed by the digestive system and are associated with liver damage, which occurs in roughly 1 out of 100 individuals. Severe liver damage happens to about 1 in 10,000 and death has also been a result.

There doesn't appear to be any way of determining who is at risk and is likely to suffer these severe consequences. Researchers have not been able to find any common link to daily dose, therapy, age, sex, or any associative factor. I recommend using these drugs as a "last-ditch" effort if you have a chronic or systemic fungal infection due to the great risk.

The medicine for yeast infections known as Diflucan and Sporanox seem to be the safer of the Azole drugs. Diflucan appears to be more effective for treating chronic intestinal candida, but Sporanox seems to be more effective at treating infections that have skin and nail involvement. Many physicians will prescribe a combination of Nystatin and an azole drug in combination. The azole drugs are so well absorbed and reabsorbed by the body that the concentration in the intestine is to low. With Nystatin added which is digestive system specific, very good results seem to be achieved.

Other medicines for yeast infection are FULVICIN-UF, GRIS-PEG , or Griseofulvin which is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, hair, fingernails, and toenails. Side effects can include diarrhea, nausea, gas, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness or insomnia as your body adjusts to the medication. If you develop a rash, hives, itching, increased sensitivity to sunlight, yellowing of eyes or skin, fever, soreness of the mouth/tongue/throat, notify your doctor at once.

Lamisil is another medicine for yeast infection that is used primarily on the skin. Side effects can include burning, redness or irritation the first few days as your body adjusts to the medication. If these symptoms continue or if you experience swelling, oozing or blistering, please contact your doctor at once.

Mycelex is a topical medicine for yeast infections of the skin primarily, although some doctors will prescribe it as an oral rinse for thrush or as a douche for vaginal yeast infection.

Amphotericin B is an older class antifungal that is used primarily for life threatening fungal infections and is given intravenously with sometimes surgical removal of the infection as well. However, candida glabrata responds very well to the drug. It is extremely expensive and most insurance will not cover its use.

When taking medicine for yeast infection it is important to have your blood monitored for liver enzymes. High levels signifies liver damage is taking place. Usually when taking these medicines for yeast infections it is a race to see how long the liver will hold out verses the infection. The fungal infection usually wins in most cases unfortunately because it can get so entrenched in the body.

Sporanox costs about $10 per pill and you take one to two per day as prescribed by your physician. Diflucan is $9.00 per pill and Nizoral about $6 per pill and is generally used for infections of the skin, most commonly dandruff. But very good success can be achieved for internal yeast as well. The other drugs listed here are about the same price also.

The makers of the medicine for yeast infection of Sporanox are presently being sued. Here is the info. Lawyer representing victims of Sporanox side effects including liver failure and congestive heart failure.

Great success can also be achieved from the Candida Diet with natural treatments. For further information please see the reports Natural Treatment, Herbal Remedies, and Diet to your left.
