Does Adderall Cause Infection?

Yes, I am a 45 year old female who works out at the gym and I wear nylon stretch pants. I recently started taking adderall and developed a yeast infection in the last two days. Is it possible that the adderall may be causing the infection. Admittingly, I deal with some stress, but have been working out frequently for about a month now and again, only recently developed the yeast infection. The adderall, I've only been taking for one week. Can you help?

Thanks for contacting HCM. Dear patient you have been exercising wearing nylon stretch pants. The exercise basics is to wear cotton. Sweat and nylon don't go hand in hand. your yeast infection is because of nylon pants during exercise. Adderall doesn't cause yeast infection but is a drug which should not be taken without medical advise as it has serious physical and psychological side effects and can cause dependence. Also please get yourself checked for diabetes as fungal infections are more common in diabetics. Regards
