Diflucan.
Diflucan (fluconazole) is taken by patients diagnosed with any of the numerous yeast infections that can affect your vagina, mouth, lungs, blood and other parts of the body or organs. Diflucan should be taken with a glass of water as many times a day as recommended. Before you start that treatment, tell your doctor if you have any contraindications (factors that will prevent you from taking Diflucan). Pregnancy, breastfeeding and the fact of having a history of an allergic reaction to ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole, or voriconazole will all prevent you from using this drug. Such mild side effects as heartburn, diarrhea, dizziness, stomach pain, headache, and change in ability to taste food are sometimes possible when you start taking Diflucan. More serious side effects that mean you are not benefitting from taking this medicine may include rash, difficulty breathing or swallowing, unusual bruising or bleeding, pale stools, nausea, loss of appetite, extreme tiredness, hives, seizures, itching, lack of energy, and dark urine. If you think you need to be taking a higher dose of Diflucan – talk to your health care provider but do not increase the dose yourself.
