No. Penicillin is an antibiotic. This means it kills bacteria, not yeast. Penicillin works by preventing the proper formation of the cell wall that is present in some types of bacteria, so it wouldn't work for your yeast infection. In fact, antibiotics are one common cause of yeast infections because they get rid of the bacteria that typically keeps yeast in check in the body.

∙ 8y agoMonistat 7 is the best thing to use. I've had a bunch of yeast infections since I found out I was pregnant and the doctor said to use it everytime.
I had the same problem when I was pregnant and my doctor said to not use a 3 or 1 day because of the stronger meds. use a 7 day, their is a ingrediate to look for I really cant remember what the name is but its on the front of the box, its the difference between a 7 day and a 1-3 day.

∙ 9y agoDefinitely. That is a common cause.
In a word, yes.
The antibiotic kills all bacteria, good and bad. Our bodies need the good bacteria, such as acidoliphus biffidus and acidoliphus bulgaris in our digestive systems.
Antibiotics should always be followed with a regimen of Pro-botics.
Yogurt with active cultures will help, acidoliphus milk, and/or a pill form.

∙ 8y agoNo, you can't. There are drugs that are made specifically for yeast infections, which you can find in your drugstore.
And penicillin belongs to antibiotics, it could kill bacteria in a short time. It couldn't eliminate symptoms of yeast infection completely. So it easy to recur once you stop taking it.
For curing yeast infection, the healthy and effective way is "fuyan pill". It has been proven effective on eliminating symptoms of yeast infection with low recurrence rate by thousands of clinic cases.

∙ 15y agoIt is more difficult. You can treat it and it may go away for awhile but it will probably come back if you continue on the antibiotics.
