Sorry it has taken me this long to reply, but i have been soo busy moving house.
in regard to the Difflucan dosage, there are different strengths. i have been using the lowest, but i use it once a month. It has been working so far, until i got sick and used prescription medication and then the candida flared up again. So, i think its important to keep up witht the difflucan, even if you have to take it the 3 times. Good luck with it.
