Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Dosage depends on the infection being treated and your individual health. Typical Diflucan (fluconazole) oral doses range from 50mg to 400mg daily, depending on the specific infection. For example, a single 150mg dose is often sufficient for vaginal yeast infections.
Oral Administration
Take Diflucan with a full glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but consistency is key. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Don’t double up on doses.
Intravenous Administration
Intravenous Diflucan is administered by a healthcare professional. The dosage and infusion rate vary depending on the severity of your condition. Your doctor will determine the appropriate regimen.
Important Considerations
Kidney function: Individuals with impaired kidney function may require adjusted dosages. Your doctor will monitor your kidney health. Inform your physician of any kidney problems.
Liver function: Diflucan can affect liver function. Report any symptoms of liver problems, such as jaundice or unusual fatigue, to your doctor immediately.
Drug interactions: Diflucan interacts with some medications. Always inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking. This prevents potential adverse interactions.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Diflucan should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding under strict medical supervision. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before using Diflucan in these situations.
Allergic reactions: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction such as rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
