Used For:

Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including yeast infections (such as vaginal candidiasis), fungal infections of the mouth (oral thrush), and systemic infections like cryptococcal meningitis. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, helping to clear up infections. Fluconazole is also used as a preventive treatment for fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplants.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of fluconazole include headache, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and dizziness. Less common side effects can include skin rashes, changes in taste, and liver enzyme elevations. Serious but rare side effects include liver damage, severe allergic reactions, or a heart arrhythmia (QT prolongation). Patients should seek medical attention if they experience symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), persistent stomach pain, or severe rash.

Precautions:

Fluconazole should be used with caution in individuals with liver disease or kidney problems, as dose adjustments may be necessary. It may interact with other medications, including certain blood thinners, antacids, and medications for diabetes, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking. Fluconazole is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, due to potential risks to the fetus. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using fluconazole. Individuals with a history of heart conditions, particularly those with prolonged QT intervals, should also use fluconazole cautiously.
