I just got off an antibiotic less than a week ago and I'm getting a yeast infection (this is apparently common). My mother's been on antibio's alot and her gyno advised her to take Acidophilus--2 pills I believe--with every meal... it not only helps the side effects of the medication itself but nips yeast infections in the bud. She also said you can't overtake the Acidophilus.

***Once you open the bottle--buy it anywhere--you have to refrigerate it, why I dunno.***

Anyway just wanted to share that. I've done the OTC stuff for yeast infections and they've rarely worked. Plus the Acidophilus is natural, from what I'm told.
