From the FDA Drug Label
The daily dose of fluconazole tablets for the treatment of infections other than vaginal candidiasis should be based on the infecting organism and the patient’s response to therapy Treatment should be continued until clinical parameters or laboratory tests indicate that active fungal infection has subsided.
The FDA drug label does not provide information on Candida treatment after parasite cleanse. The provided text only discusses the treatment of various fungal infections, including candidiasis, but does not mention parasite cleanse. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn regarding the treatment of Candida after a parasite cleanse based on the provided drug labels 1 and 2.
From the Research
After completing a parasite cleanse, treating Candida overgrowth typically involves a multi-faceted approach, starting with antifungal medications like fluconazole (150-200mg daily for 2-4 weeks) or nystatin (500,000-1,000 units three times daily), as recommended by the most recent study 3. The treatment of Candida overgrowth should prioritize a combination of antifungal medications, dietary changes, and probiotics to restore gut flora balance.
- Antifungal medications: fluconazole (150-200mg daily for 2-4 weeks) or nystatin (500,000-1,000 units three times daily) are effective options, with fluconazole showing a better clinical response rate than clotrimazole in adults with oral candidiasis 3.
- Dietary changes: a low-sugar, low-carbohydrate diet that eliminates refined sugars, alcohol, and processed foods, focusing on non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
- Probiotics: containing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species (at least 10-30 billion CFUs daily) to help restore gut flora balance. Supplements that may assist include garlic extract (600-900mg daily), oregano oil (200-400mg daily in divided doses), and biofilm disruptors like N-acetyl cysteine (600mg twice daily) 4, 5. It is essential to stay well-hydrated and manage stress, as cortisol can worsen Candida issues. This sequential approach works because parasites and Candida often coexist, with parasites sometimes creating an environment favorable for fungal overgrowth, and treating parasites first prevents them from interfering with Candida treatment, making the antifungal protocol more effective 6, 7.
