I'm not quite clear on whether you mean 200 mg  every three days or  
800 mg every three days?
Dosing every three  days is a newer method of induction treatment for  
recurrent genital  candidiasis,

However  the doses for this treatment are typically each 150 or 200  
mg, not  800 mg. 800 mg/day is often used as a dosage in  
immunosuppressed  individuals.



Hi -- thanks -- sorry I left the X out of my original listing.   So, she has 
been taking 200mgX4=800 mg. every 3 days for 12 days.  Did not  have recurring 
candidiasis, had not had it at all, just was taking it  prophylatically as 
she was on antibiotics.  NOW, having finished the 12  days, she HAS Thrush for 
sure.  So, if she goes back on the Diflucan -- is  that still the typical way 
it is now prescribed?? Thanks so much, Ann
