About fluconazole

What does it do?

Thrush is a fungal infection, commonly caused by a type of yeast called candida. Although candida is naturally present in the body, an imbalance can trigger thrush symptoms. Fluconazole 150mg (also known as Diflucan and other brand names) kills certain types of fungi and restores your body's natural balance.

Taking fluconazole for the first time

Fluconazole treatment for thrush is simple - just one capsule to be swallowed with a glass of water. You can take this medicine at any time of day, with or without a meal.

How effective is it?

Women taking fluconazole should see an improvement within a few days. Some women will notice improvement in 24 hours.

For men, the condition can take a little longer to clear up. The symptoms should clear up within a few days, although this can take up to a week.

If your condition hasn't cleared up within one week, you should consult a doctor.

Cautions when using fluconazole

Thrush is an infection which can occur without sexual contact, so it is not a sexually transmitted disease. However, the infection can be passed on during sex, so it is recommended that you should not have sex until the infection has cleared up.

If you regularly suffer from thrush, then it's advisable that both you and your partner have thrush treatment at the same time.

Taking too much can make you unwell, so contact your doctor or nearest hospital immediately if you take more than you should.

Side effects of fluconazole

As with any medicine, there are side effects. Although a serious allergic reaction to fluconazole is rare. Common side effects (occurring in one in ten patients) include nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, wind, rash and headache. However, these side effects are usually mild and don't tend to last long. If symptoms persist, or are particularly severe, contact your doctor.

A full list of side effects is available in the manufacturer's.

When not to take fluconazole

You should not take fluconazole while you are pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding.

Do not take fluconazole if you've ever had an allergic reaction to any of its ingredients or any other medicines which you have taken to treat a fungal infection.

Tell your doctor before taking fluconazole if:

  • Have liver or kidney problems.
  • Suffer from heart disease, including heart rhythm problems.
  • Have abnormal levels of potassium, calcium, or magnesium in your blood.

Tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, or have recently taken before taking fluconazole.

A review of drugs prescribed by doctors.
A review of drugs given by doctors.

The first oral fluconazole product to reach the market was introduced in October 1999. It is used to treat fungal infections of the vagina, throat, lungs, mouth, eyes and genital area.

The drug is now the subject of clinical trial data and is available in many different formulations.

The FDA approved diflucan (generic name: fluconazole) in December 2000, and it is the first fluconazole drug to be approved for vaginal candidiasis.

Diflucan is a synthetic fluconazole, which works by inhibiting the synthesis of the fungal cell membrane called fungal cell membranes.

When diflucan was prescribed to treat vaginal candidiasis in 1988, researchers in the U. S. National Academy of Sciences reported that it caused up to 90% of fungal infections.

This was the first oral fluconazole drug to be approved for vaginal candidiasis.

How Diflucan Works

Diflucan works by inhibiting the growth of the fungal cell membrane, which allows the fungal cell to multiply and spread.

The drug is absorbed after oral administration in the intestine. It is taken by mouth once a day. The drug is also taken with meals. This means that a single dose of diflucan may be taken in the morning, on an empty stomach, and at night.

It is important to note that diflucan can take up to 30 minutes to start working. The time it takes to start working for most people is about 30 minutes to an hour.

How to Use Diflucan

Diflucan can be taken orally, with or without food. The dosage may vary depending on the specific condition being treated. The usual starting dose is one 150 mg tablet once a day, taken on an empty stomach, for five days, followed by one 150 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, and then one 150 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, for seven days. The usual dosage for vaginal candidiasis is one 200 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, taken on an empty stomach, for five days, followed by one 200 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, and then one 200 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, for seven days. The usual dosage for fungal infections is one 200 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, taken on an empty stomach, for five days, followed by one 200 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, and then one 200 mg tablet once a day on an empty stomach, for seven days.

It is important to note that diflucan should be taken at the same time each day. If you miss a dose of diflucan, you should continue with the same dose at the same time each day. This will help you remember to take the medicine and make the next dose. Do not double dose.

Side Effects

Like any medication, diflucan can cause side effects. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and dry mouth. The side effects also tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication.

The most common side effects of diflucan include:

  • headache
  • nausea
  • dizziness
  • drowsiness
  • dry mouth
  • flushing
  • tremors
  • skin rash
  • nervousness
  • dry eyes
  • increased urination

If you experience any of the side effects, you should contact your doctor immediately.

In rare cases, diflucan may cause serious side effects such as:

  • diarrhea
  • vomiting
  • anxiety
  • loss of appetite
  • abnormal vision

If you notice any of the side effects listed above, contact your doctor immediately. This is especially important if you have liver problems, kidney problems, or a history of seizures.
