What is Diflucan One (Fluconazole) used for?

Diflucan One (Fluconazole) is an oral antifungal medication used to treat women with vaginal thrush. The medication slows or prevents the reproduction of fungus cells allowing the immune system to destroy the infection. Your doctor may also recommend the use of this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Diflucan One (Fluconazole)?

Diflucan One (Fluconazole) is normally administered once daily for a cycle of medication usually lasting three days, but your individual directions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken with or without food, although a meal or snack is recommended prior to use if you get an upset stomach. Avoid splitting or crushing the tablets prior to use as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Never stop taking the medication before being instructed to as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your doctor any questions you have regarding the medicine to avoid unnecessary complications.
