About A Can 150mg Tablet

FLUCONAZOLE belongs to the class of medicines called 'antifungal' used to treat a broad range of infections caused due to fungi and yeast. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any part of the body, including the mouth, throat, esophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood. FLUCONAZOLE can effectively treat fungal infections, including Vaginal Candidiasis (a vaginal yeast infection caused by Candida), urinary tract infection caused by Candida species of fungi, and cryptococcal meningitis (fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord in AIDS patients). FLUCONAZOLE cannot treat a viral infection like flu or a common cold.

FLUCONAZOLE contains ‘fluconazole’ that kills or prevents fungi or yeast by inhibiting an enzyme in fungi responsible for its normal fat metabolism, which interferes with the formation of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, fungal or yeast cells get killed or their growth is minimized. FLUCONAZOLE is available in the form of oral (tablet and suspension) and injection formulations. You should only take this drug if advised by your doctor. You can take FLUCONAZOLE with or without food.

FLUCONAZOLE has common side effects like headache, diarrhea, nausea, upset in the stomach, dizziness, stomach pain, and altered food tastes. You seek immediate medical attention if you experience other side effects such as fever, chills, symptoms of flu, weakness, easy bruising, seizures, skin rashes, faster or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, clay-colored stools, and jaundice.

Tell your doctor if you have already consumed or stopped taking other drugs since they affect FLUCONAZOLE. These include over-the-counter medicines (OTC), herbal, and vitamin supplements. Let your doctor know if you use medications for other infections, heart problems, high blood pressure, HIV, mental illness, cancer, or malaria. Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Medicinal Benefits of A Can 150mg Tablet

 

FLUCONAZOLE works by killing the fungus/yeast and preventing its growth by inhibiting the fungal cell membrane formation. It is used to treat various fungal or yeast infections such as vaginal candidiasis, oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush, oral thrush), and esophageal candidiasis (candida esophagitis), candida infections (urinary tract infections, peritonitis), and cryptococcal meningitis. Besides this, FLUCONAZOLE is also used to prevent candidiasis and coccidioidomycosis in patients who receive cancer or radiation treatment while undergoing bone marrow transplantation. FLUCONAZOLE is effective in treating soft tissue and pulmonary infections when compared to other azole antifungal drugs.

Directions for Use

The usual daily adult dose of FLUCONAZOLE is 50-400 mg, depending on the type of infection. It comes in oral (tablet and suspension) and intravenous formulations. For a yeast infection, your doctor may advise you to take one pill. For other infections, your first dose may be a double dose. You may take FLUCONAZOLE with or without food. Shake the oral suspension well before use and always use a measuring device for intake. FLUCONAZOLE injection is given into the vein as an infusion. Do not take if the medicine in the vial looks cloudy, changes color, or consists of particles.

Side Effects of A Can 150mg Tablet

Most of the side effects of FLUCONAZOLE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. FLUCONAZOLE can cause common side effects like headache, diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach, dizziness, stomach pain, and altered food tastes. However, seek immediate medical advice if these side effects persist longer. Some serious side effects of FLUCONAZOLE include pounding or irregular heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, extreme tiredness, easy bruising or bleeding, weakness, loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), flu, dark urine, clay-colored stools, seizures, skin rash and itching, hives, swollen face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. If any of these side effects occur, call your doctor for emergency treatment.
