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.

How it Works

Fluconazole belongs to the group of medicines called azole antifungals. Fluconazole is an azole antifungal that fights against certain types of fungi (Candida) inside the fungi cell.

Fluconazole works by preventing the synthesis of ergosterol (a component of sterol biosynthesis). This allows the cell to become more sensitive to the action of ergosterol, resulting in a decrease in the number of cells in the fungal cell.

Fluconazole is used to treat:

  • Candidiasis:It is a common condition in which a fungal infection grows in the body. The fungal cell causes a number of conditions:
  • Candidiasis often involves the eyes, skin, vagina, mouth, throat, nose, penis, testicles, and skin.
  • A fungal infection can spread through sexual intercourse, inhalation, or by direct contact with a male partner.
