Is it safe to use Diflucan if you have liver disease?  I have had a recurrent yeast infection (won't go away!) and my Gyn says it is safe.  Please let me know!

Hello,

Hepatic impairment as a result of Diflucan use is a very rare side effect and the dose given for a vaginal yeast infection is quite low.  If you have pre-existing liver disease with current liver dysfunction you may want to use a vaginal preparation to treat your yeast infection.  If you have normal liver function, Diflucan will likely be a safe option.  You may want to discuss with your gyn whether they should follow up on your liver enzymes after therapy or if you require repeat dosing.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
