Non-Antibiotic Prescription Medicine for Sinus Infections

Since antibiotics are only effective against bacterial sinus infections and are known to create subsequent yeast infestations, there are other prescription medications which may help alleviate viral and fungal sinus infections, such as quinolone and fluconazole drugs.

  • Quinolone:

  • A common prescription is “quinolone” antibacterial medicine. Quinolones are comparatively weak against the new super bacteria, but can be effective without encouraging the growth of fungus or killing good intestinal flora.

    Side Effects: May have deteriorating effects on tendon tissue.

  • Fluconazole:

  • The “fluconazole” prescription drugs, which are fungicides (anti-fungal medication), are more effective than antibiotics on sinus infections because fungus that grows in mucus is often a form of yeast (link to candida page) and antibiotics (link to antibiotics page) can create more yeast. A fluconazole specifically targets and kills yeast fungus.

    Whether from bacteria or virus, a sinus infection can have fungal yeast develop in the thickened mucus. And an infection that starts as viral can also end up attracting bacteria and fungus due to constriction of the airways.

    “Fluconazoles” include prescription medicine for things like vaginal yeast and toenail fungus. There are now fluconazole nasal sprays for the sinuses. Given in their ingestible form to reach intestinal and vaginal yeast, a fluconazole will be more effective than topical creams for overall cleansing.

    Side Effects: Fluconazole drugs can produce a crampy stomach and dizziness, or cause a reaction called “die off” which can make you feel sicker before feeling better. But this is a good sign – it usually means they are getting to the root source of the problem. A toxic system will feel imbalanced while the toxins are being removed. These symptoms should subside.

    Taken for long periods, some fluconazole drugs can have adverse effects on liver function. Doctors generally know this and watch their patients. There are many herbal aids to guard the liver. VÄXA makes a product called Liver Formula that can keep the liver detoxified and regenerated, and is soon introducing a homeopathic alternative to fluconazole spray - a nasal irrigation product called Sinus Relief.

    Like antibiotics, a fluconazole prescription should be completely finished. Any other medication being taken should be discussed between doctor and patient to avoid negative interaction.
