fluconazole

Has anyone ever taken fluconazole? It's a tablet you take (only one) for yeast infection. My pharmacist said it's not for pregnant women but when I called the doc and told him what the pharmacist said he said it was ok to take.  Has anyone else been prescribed this? I'm worried.

No I haven't taken it yet. The thing that really bothers mme is in Texas at every appointment they check you down there so they can identify if you have a yeast infection or something else. Here in New mexico even tho I told the nurse and doc that I was feeling itchy with no discharge or odor they didn't even bother checking me. They just prescribed the medicine. I'm not even sure I actually have a yeast infection or if it's just itchy skin.
