I recently went to the doctor for a yeast infection. I was taking a low dose birth control pill and discontinued it because I tend to get yeast infections on birth control. The doctor confirmed the presence of yeast and prescribed difulcan for 10 days. She also prescribed 1 gram daily of Premarin for dry vagina. I can't find any info. about prescribing this for a young female. I'm a little concerned that this isn't a good treatment to take for 6 weeks. I can't find information that doesn't relate to menopause. Is this medicine safe for a yeast infection and irritated vagina? Should I get a second opinion?
