Gary, I looked up the diflucan and that is the fluconazole that I took. But it did not work for me by itself. I took 100 mg tablets for 10 days and like I said before when I stopped the nystatin it started to come back badly and so I had to use both and I'n not sure if it still not completely cleared up. But I will find out tomorrow. If I may ask, what was the reasoning behind taking diflucan for months? Was it to keep it from coming back or is it possible to keep thrush for extended periods of time? Thanks, Angel
