Question: what's the normal dosage of ketoconazole pill for male yeast infection? And for what length of time?
Brief Answer:
Depends upon extent if infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
If you have genital candidiasis then creams are applied topically directly onto the affected area, usually once a day for three to seven days. The oral dose of ketoconazole in adults is 200 to 400 mg daily, taken for two to four weeks depending upon extent of lesion.
Hope I answered your query.

I was taking fluconazole and it started to clear but I think I took to much and the infection was killed off to fast and came back as a bounce back effect. Is that normal when taking 200mg of fluconazole ever 2 for a week?
Brief Answer:
You need prolonged treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Wellcome back.
The yeast infection can relapse. So I suggest that you must prolong your treatment with your doses. Get evaluation done periodically.
