Fluconazole Capsules 150mg

About Fluconazole Capsules 150mg

Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections. The 150mg capsule is typically prescribed for treating vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis) in a single dose, though it may be used for other types of fungal infections depending on the doctor's recommendation.

Common uses:

• Vaginal yeast infections: Fluconazole is commonly prescribed as a one-time 150mg dose for treating uncomplicated vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida species.
• Fungal infections: It can also be used to treat infections like thrush (oral candidiasis), fungal infections of the skin, or fungal infections in other parts of the body.
• Prevention of fungal infections: In people with weakened immune systems (e.g., those undergoing chemotherapy), it may be prescribed as a preventative treatment for fungal infections.

Dosage:

• For vaginal yeast infections: A single 150mg dose is typically sufficient. It™s taken orally, usually with or without food.
• For other infections, the dosage and length of treatment will depend on the type and severity of the infection, and your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate regimen.

Side effects:

• Common side effects: Nausea, headache, abdominal pain, and dizziness.
• Serious side effects (rare): Liver problems, allergic reactions, and severe skin reactions.

Warnings and precautions:

• Liver function: People with liver disease or a history of liver issues should use Fluconazole cautiously, as it can affect liver function.
• Drug interactions: Fluconazole can interact with other medications, including blood thinners, certain antidepressants, and medications used to treat HIV, so inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking.
• Pregnancy: Pregnant women should avoid Fluconazole, especially in high doses, unless advised by a doctor.
