Fluconazole 150mg Capsule Vaginal Thrush Treatment

Fluconazole 150mg Capsule is a single-dose oral medication used to help manage vaginal thrush (Candidal vaginalitis), as well as other fungal infections such as Candidal balanitis (in men). It belongs to the azole antifungal class and works by stopping the growth of yeast and certain types of fungi.

How Fluconazole Works

Fluconazole targets the cell membrane of the fungus, preventing it from growing and multiplying. This action helps to clear the infection at its source and relieve symptoms such as itching, irritation, and abnormal discharge associated with vaginal thrush.

Key Features

  • Single-dose treatment: Most cases of vaginal thrush can be managed with just one capsule.
  • Broad-spectrum antifungal: Also effective for some other fungal infections like Candidal balanitis.
  • Easy to use: Taken orally with or without food.
  • Suitable for adults: Always follow your healthcare provider’s advice.

How to Use

  • Take one 150mg capsule by mouth, as a single dose, with a glass of water.
  • Can be taken with or without food.
  • If symptoms persist after 7 days, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Important Information

  • Consult your healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have liver or kidney problems, or are taking other medications.
  • Do not use if you are allergic to fluconazole or any other ingredients in the capsule.
  • Possible side effects: These may include headache, stomach discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, or rash. If you experience severe allergic reactions (such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe skin reactions), seek medical help immediately.
  • Not suitable for children unless prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Additional Advice

  • Avoid using other antifungal treatments at the same time unless advised by your doctor.
  • If you have frequent episodes of thrush, seek medical advice to rule out underlying conditions.
  • Store the capsules in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.

Summary:

Fluconazole 150mg Capsule is a convenient, single-dose oral treatment for vaginal thrush and some other fungal infections. It is generally well-tolerated and effective, but always use as directed by a healthcare professional.
