Diflucan

Diflucan is an antifungal medicine, which is a medicine used to treat infections caused by fungus, such as candidiasis (yeast infection) or urinary tract infections (UTI's). It is also used to prevent fungal infections from occurring in patients with weak immune systems due to conditions such as HIV/AIDS. and transplant patients. Diflucan medication is also available in generic form, under the name fluconazole. Diflucan dosage can range from 50 to 200 mg in tablet form, and 10 to 40 mg/ml in liquid suspension form, with the lower dosages commonly prescribed for patients with certain conditions, such as kidney disease.

Diflucan side effects range from nausea, headache, and dizziness, to more serious side effects such as seizure and increased bleeding or bruising. Seek immediate medical help if you experience serious side effects or an allergic reaction to Diflucan that impairs your breathing. Patients with liver disease should be carefully monitored during their use of Diflucan, and all patients should undergo regular testing of their liver function, due to the rare possibility of liver failure. Patients who develop a rash while using Diflucan may have to discontinue its use. Diflucan is a type "C" drug, so it is not safe to take Diflucan while pregnant, due to the possibility it can cause miscarriage. Taking Diflucan and breastfeeding is not recommended, as the drug can pass to the infant through breast milk. Notify your doctor of any other medicines you are taking, to minimize any interaction risks, such as irregular heartbeat. Symptoms of Diflucan overdose include paranoia and hallucinations. Overdose is more likely in patients that have impaired renal function, and patients taking blood thinning medication. Seek immediate medical care if you believe you may have overdosed on Diflucan.

As Diflucan is a prescription medicine, it is stronger than over the counter preparations for such conditions as yeast infections. Therefore, you should only take Diflucan under a doctor's care. It is important to take Diflucan exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Complete the entire dosage as instructed, even if your symptoms seem to go away after the first couple of doses. Like antibiotics, Diflucan may seem to work quickly, but in fact will not be successful in treating your infection unless you take all of it. There are many online sources that offer overnight delivery or next day delivery of Diflucan, if you are not able to obtain it at your local pharmacy.
