Drug Uses
Diflucan is indicated for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast
infections due to Candida), oropharyngeal or esophageal candidiasis and
cryptococcal meningitis. Diflucan is also indicated to decrease the incidence
of candidiasis in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation who receive
cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
How Taken
Diflucan comes as a tablet and liquid to take by mouth. It is usually taken
once a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and
ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Take Diflucan exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take
it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Shake the liquid well before
each use to mix the medication evenly. Continue to take Diflucan even if
you feel well. Do not stop taking Diflucan without talking to your doctor.
Warnings/Precautions
Do not take Diflucan if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid). Combined with
cisapride (Propulsid), Diflucan could cause serious, even fatal, heart problems.
Before taking Diflucan, 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 Diflucan, or you may require a dosage adjustment
or special monitoring during your treatment. Diflucan is in the FDA pregnancy
category C. This means that it is not known whether it will be harmful to
an unborn baby. Do not take Diflucan without first talking to your doctor
if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. Diflucan passes
into breast milk and may be harmful to a nursing baby. For this reason, Diflucan
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.
Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost
time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing
schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Possible Side Effects
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking
Diflucan and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling
of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); liver damage (pale stools, yellowing
of the 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 Diflucan
and talk to your doctor: nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain; diarrhea; headache;
dizziness; fatigue; or 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.
Overdose
Seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected. Symptoms of
a Diflucan overdose include confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, decreased
movement, decreased breathing, tearing eyes, drooling, urinary incontinence,
seizures, and death.
