What it is
Fluconazole is an antifungal medicine used to treat infections caused by Candida and other fungi.
What it's used for
It is used for vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection), oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis (thrush in the mouth and throat), Candida infections of the urinary tract, systemic Candida infections (e.g., candidemia, disseminated candidiasis, pneumonia), and cryptococcal meningitis (a brain infection).
Common side effects
Fluconazole is generally well tolerated. In some patients, especially those with serious underlying diseases, changes in liver and kidney function tests have been observed. Serious side effects such as liver injury are rare but can occur. If you notice signs of liver problems (e.g., yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain), stop use and seek medical help.
Important cautions
Do not take fluconazole if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Use with caution if you have liver disease. Avoid combining with certain drugs that affect the heart rhythm (QT interval) or are metabolized by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4, unless your doctor approves. Always tell your pharmacist about all medicines you are taking.
