I think Diflucan is giving me a slight headache, but other than that it seems to work great. Cleared up my itching and most of my discharge within a day of taking the first dose.

Comment:
I am diabetic and develop yeast infections more frequently than most. Diflucan which is used for treatment has caused a very dark (black) circle around my lower lip and chin.
