Diflucan, or fluconazole, effectively targets various fungal infections. For yeast infections like candidiasis, a typical adult dosage is 150mg as a single dose. However, more severe or recurring infections might require a longer course of treatment, potentially up to several weeks, with dosages determined by your doctor.
Remember, Diflucan’s efficacy varies depending on the specific type of fungus and the severity of infection. Your doctor will conduct a proper diagnosis to ensure this medication is the right choice for you. They’ll also consider factors like your overall health and any potential drug interactions.
Potential side effects, though generally mild, include nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. Serious reactions are rare, but immediate medical attention is warranted if you experience symptoms like severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), liver problems (jaundice, dark urine), or seizures. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to minimize the risk of interactions.
Consult your physician before starting any treatment with Diflucan. They will tailor a treatment plan specifically to your needs, considering the infection type, your medical history, and other relevant factors. Self-treating can be risky; a proper diagnosis is key to successful treatment.
