Fluconazole (Page 9 of 9)
Who Should Not Take Fluconazole?
To avoid a possible serious reaction, do NOT take fluconazole if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid®†) since it can cause changes in heartbeat in some people if taken with fluconazole.
How Should I Take Fluconazole
Take fluconazole by mouth with or without food. You can take fluconazole at any time of the day.
Fluconazole keeps working for several days to treat the infection. Generally the symptoms start to go away after 24 hours. However, it may take several days for your symptoms to go away completely. If there is no change in your symptoms after a few days, call your doctor.
Directions: Push tablet through foil and take by mouth
Just swallow 1 Fluconazole tablet to treat your vaginal yeast infection.
What Should I Avoid While Taking Fluconazole?
Some medicines can affect how well fluconazole works. Check with your doctor before starting any new medicines within seven days of taking fluconazole.
What Are The Possible Side Effects of Fluconazole?
Like all medicines, fluconazole may cause some side effects that are usually mild to moderate.
The most common side effects of fluconazole are:
- headache
- diarrhea
- nausea or upset stomach
- dizziness
- stomach pain
- changes in the way food tastes
Allergic reactions to fluconazole are rare, but they can be very serious if not treated right away by a doctor. If you cannot reach your doctor, go to the nearest hospital emergency room. Signs of an allergic reaction can include shortness of breath; coughing; wheezing; fever; chills; throbbing of the heart or ears; swelling of the eyelids, face, mouth, neck, or any other part of the body; or skin rash, hives, blisters or skin peeling.
Fluconazole has been linked to rare cases of serious liver damage, including deaths, mostly in patients with serious medical problems. Call your doctor if your skin or eyes become yellow, your urine turns a darker color, your stools (bowel movements) are light-colored, or if you vomit or feel like vomiting or if you have severe skin itching.
In patients with serious conditions such as AIDS or cancer, rare cases of severe rashes with skin peeling have been reported. Tell your doctor right away if you get a rash while taking fluconazole.
Fluconazole may cause other less common side effects besides those listed here. If you develop any side effects that concern you, call your doctor. For a list of all side effects, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
