The manufacturer's pamphlet contains the full information on interactions, side effects, and other important information you should know about the medicine before you start.

Instructions

You have stated that you wish to take medication for your symptoms of vaginal yeast infection. You will be taking 150 mg Fluconazole (Brand name Diflucan)— if in 2 days, your symptoms do not get better, take the second dose of 150 mg Fluconazole. Signs of this infection include vaginal itching with/without thick white discharge. The itching may begin before the discharge starts. The itching should not be external in the area where your pubic hair would be, but down near the opening of the labia, possibly internal as well. You may experience burning when urinating as the urine touches the raw, irritated skin. In case of severe scratching, tiny amounts of blood can occasionally be seen in the underwear. Yeast infections do not cause a vaginal odor, fever, or abdominal pain.

Refill

For subscription customers only, You will automatically be sent a refill every 90 days (subject to a refill visit to help screen for side effects). However, you may request a refill early by logging into your Account (Subscriptions > Next Refill).

If your symptoms aren't getting better after you start taking the medicine or if you develop new or worsening symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or pain, in the mid to upper back, you should see a doctor in-person immediately. If you have questions about longer treatments for chronic or recurrent yeast infections, please follow up with an in person physician to discuss a more aggressive treatment. There are no evidenced-based (scientifically-proven) “natural” or “home remedies” to prevent or cure vaginal yeast infections. Some women find that changing brands or types of hygiene, intimate or menstrual products improves their frequency of vaginal yeast infections.
