Hello, I am currently on 7.5 mg of methetraxate a week for psoriatic arthiritis, I have had a cyst on my neck that went infected, last week I went to the dr s and he put me on flucloxacillin, even though I am allergic to penicillin as I get thrush, although my neck is starting to get better I now have thrush, I have 2 days tablets left. What do I do next?

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your treating doctor I advice you that Methotrexate causes a state of immunocompromised in the patients in addition to it antibiotics makes the path for the yeast infection further. So to some up both the drugs are causative in you for yeast infection. you can use fluconazole tablet for fungal infection.

Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
