I could be remembering something incorrectly, but having heard Dr. Jack Newman speak in December, I thought he said something about being cautious about using fluconazole because of an associated possibility of reduction in supply. I am sorry, my notes from that meeting are not terribly complete ... all I wrote about it was under the heading Milk Supply decreases ... some meds, fluconazole or diflucan possibly. I am certain you could contact him for more information. However, Cheryl's post (below) makes sense to me ... but I thought I would put in this 2 cents, just in case the reference to Newman could be useful to Janet. PREVIOUS POSTS Can taking fluconazole for yeast overgrowth negatively impact milk supply? I am working with a client who has experienced a sudden reduction in supply since starting this drug. If fluconazole reduces supply, can you explain why? Janet Talmadge, IBCLC Naperville, IL Presuming that there is thrush if fluconazole is being given and thrush itself can irritate the milk ducts, inflame them, slow flow and thus slow production. So it is likely the thrush condition, not the drug, that is causing the supply reduction. It typically bounces back quite well once the thrush is under control.
