Diflucan
Diflucan treats yeast infections of the mouth, throat,
and esophagus; vaginal yeast infections; fungal urinary tract
infections; pneumonia caused by yeast; and fungal infections
throughout the whole body and in the blood.
WHAT TO KNOW DIFLUCAN
Do not take fluconazole if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid).
Combined with cisapride (Propulsid), fluconazole could cause
serious, even fatal, heart problems. In rare cases, fluconazole
has caused severe liver damage, sometimes resulting in death.
Notify your doctor immediately if you develop nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, yellow
skin or eyes, itching, dark urine, or clay colored stools.
These symptoms may be early signs of liver damage. In rare
cases, fluconazole has also caused severe skin rash, sometimes
resulting in death. Notify your doctor immediately fi you
develop a rash while taking fluconazole. Take all of the fluconazole
that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel
better. Your symptoms may begin to improve before the infection
is completely treated.
What Is DIFLUCAN
Fluconazole is an antifungal medication. It is like an antibiotic
but is used to treat fungal infections. Fluconazole is used
to treat yeast infections of the mouth, throat, and esophagus;
vaginal yeast infections; fungal urinary tract infections;
pneumonia caused by yeast; and fungal infections throughout
the whole body and in the blood. Fluconazole is also used
to prevent fungal infections from occurring in people with
suppressed immune systems such as cancer chemotherapy patients,
organ transplant patients, and AIDS patients. Fluconazole
may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this
medication guide.
How To Use Diflucan
Take fluconazole exactly as directed by your doctor. If you
do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist,
nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Take each dose with
a full glass of water. A single dose of this medication is
often used to treat vaginal yeast infections. In multiple-dose
therapy, a double dose of fluconazole is often taken on the
first day of treatment to quickly get the proper amount of
medicine into your body. Follow your doctor's directions.
Shake the suspension well before measuring a dose. To ensure
that you get the correct dose, measure the suspension using
a dose-measuring spoon, cup, or dropper, not a regular table
spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your
pharmacist where you can get one. Store the tablets at room
temperature away from moisture and heat. The suspension can
be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Do not
let it freeze. Throw away any unused suspension after 14 days.
Diflucan Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost
time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take
only your next regularly scheduled dose as directed. Do not
take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed
by your doctor.
DIFLUCAN Over Dose
Seek emergency medical attention. Symptoms of a fluconazole
overdose include confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, decreased
movement, decreased breathing, tearing eyes, drooling, urinary
incontinence, seizures, and death.
Diflucan Side Effects
If you experience any of the following serious side effects,
stop taking fluconazole and seek emergency medical attention
or notify your doctor immediately:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your
throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives)
liver damage (pale stools, yellowish skin or eyes, abdominal
pain, unusual fatigue, or dark urine); or a rash.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.
If you experience any of the following side effects, continue
taking fluconazole and talk to your doctor:
nausea
vomiting
abdominal pain
diarrhea
headache
dizziness
fatigue
itching
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur.
Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual
or that is especially bothersome.
DIFLUCAN Contra Indications
Use alcohol with moderation while taking fluconazole. Alcohol
and fluconazole can both affect your liver. Use caution when
driving or performing other hazardous activities. Fluconazole
may cause dizziness. If you experience dizziness, avoid these
activities.
DIFLUCAN Precautions
Do not take fluconazole if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid).
Combined with cisapride (Propulsid), fluconazole could cause
serious, even fatal, heart problems. Before taking fluconazole,
tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions,
especially kidney disease, or if you take other medicines.
You may not be able to take fluconazole, or you may require
a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during your treatment.
Fluconazole is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means
that it is not known whether it will harm an unborn baby.
Do not take this medication without first talking to your
doctor if you are pregnant. Fluconazole passes into breast
milk and may harm a nursing baby. For this reason, fluconazole
should not be taken by nursing mothers. Do not take this medication
without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding
a baby.
