What Causes Headaches And Vaginal Yeast Infection After Taking Jardiance?

I have been talking the drug Invokana for approximately 1month. I was first introduced to Jardiance, which is the same class with invokana. Since taking this drug I have been experiencing headaches, vaginal yeast infection, as well as painful intercourse. Invokana has helped tremendously with my blood sugars, but the other symptoms are untolerable. I have been prescribed Diflucan 150mg on several occasions. How long should these symptoms last? Are is there another alternative?

For vaginal yeast infection you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or avil for itching and redness. You can take fluconazole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into your vagina once daily for at-least 5 days. Maintain local hygiene of private part either by regular washing with soap water or you can use v-wash vaginal gel.
