I have found that almost any medication, especially antibiotics can give me a yeast infection. When taking antibiotics I always take a supplement of asidophilus and eat plenty of plain yogurt (any other flavors have too much sugar) this usually does it for me however I know people that have to do more. There is a book about yeast infections I can not remember the entire title but I think it's called the Candida Book or something similar. If you already had a build up of yeast in your body (alot of people do) and took the medication it can develop through out your body. The antibiotic kills the "good" yeast and makes the "bad" yeasts go crazy. The book offers diet tips to "starve" the yeast by basicly giving up sugars and dairy (the book goes into more detail). I would suggest trying the book. My boyfriend didn't clinicly have a yeast infection but a buildup of it thoughout his body which caused stomach problems and tightness in his shoulder muscles. The book and the diet helped enormously. Hope it helps
