Fluconazole

For treating infections, the typical dose of fluconazole is a 150 mg tablet taken as a single dose. In some cases, a second dose may be required after three days. The effects of fluconazole can last for several days in your body. If you experience any severe allergic reactions or if your symptoms worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Each fluconazole tablet typically contains 150 mg of fluconazole as the active ingredient. Other components may include lactose, maize starch, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and sodium lauryl sulfate.

Common side effects of fluconazole may include nausea, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention may include liver problems, severe skin reactions, and irregular heartbeat. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction or experience difficulty breathing, seek medical help right away.

Do not use fluconazole if you are allergic to it or similar antifungal medications. Avoid this medication if you are taking certain medications like cisapride or pimozide. Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, or a heart rhythm disorder. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children should consult a healthcare professional before using fluconazole.
