Hi Dr Jen, I suffer from chronic yeast. I’ve done two rounds of long-term therapy (of fluconazole) but they come back once I stop the medication. Is it safe to be on maintenance therapy for longer than 6 months at a time? Also, does it matter if it’s 150 mg fluconazole vs 200 mg? Thank you

This article really explains the pros and cons of this treatment very clearly. Excellent info.
My impertinent comment: I got a wee laugh at the sentence that began, “ It can only be prescribed to people who can get pregnant by physicians …”
Thanks so much for this post. I am post menopausal and have been dealing with recurrent yeast for a long time. This gives me some hope.
