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?

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.
