It is left as a last resort in rare but serious, life-threatening cases that have not responded to other treatments. This is partly due to the widespread, long-term use of azole drugs for treating and preventing candidiasis. Newer liposomal versions of the drug, such as amphotericin B lipid complex or ABLC, have proven less toxic to the kidneys than its earlier formula. The study found that people were more likely to tolerate ABLC and were thus more likely to be able to take the drug until their fungal infection successfully cleared. Even among people with some underlying kidney disease, ABLC was better tolerated, resulting in only very small changes in kidney function tests.
Sugars are food for candida and help it to grow.
Decrease or avoid alcohol. Alcohol converts to sugar and promotes the growth of candida. Garlic is believed to have some natural anti-fungal properties and may help to prevent candidiasis. Drink milk or eat yogurt that contains acidophilus bacteria. Wear loose fitting clothes to help prevent vaginal candidiasis, since these allow areas of the body ventilate better and dry out.
