Study finds a common drug that can be used to limit yeast

The drug is mesalamine. Also known as Lialda. It's often used to treat ulcerative colitis. As it turns out, it can curb fungal spread.

I thought this is interesting for us, since fungal and/or candida infections can and often do occur after taking antibiotics for a prolonged period of time.

Here is the article: health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/an-anti-inflammatory-curbs-fungi-spread-causing-serious-blood-infections/2024/06

Drugs.com points out that it's not an immunosuppressant, so that's good to know:

"Mesalamine is an anti-inflammatory agent (not an immunosuppressant) that may be used to treat mild to moderate ulcerative colitis and prevent the symptoms of ulcerative colitis from recurring."
