Fluconazole 150mg ( a single dose in a 1-tablet pack) is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections by inhibiting the growth of fungi. It specifically interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell death

Uses:

Fluconazole is primarily used to treat infections caused by fungi including:

• Vaginal yeast infections (Candidiasis): A single 150mg dose is often used to treat vaginal candidiasis.
• Systemic fungal infections: It can be used to treat infections that have spread to other parts of the body, such as the bloodstream, lungs, or other organs.
• Oral thrush: Fluconazole may also be used to treat fungal infections in the mouth and throat.

Dosage:

• For Vaginal Yeast Infection: Usually, a single 150mg dose is sufficient. The tablet is taken orally.
• For other infections: The dose and duration depend on the type and severity of the infection, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: It’s important to consult a doctor before using Fluconazole if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Liver or kidney disease: Let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney issues, as Fluconazole may not be suitable for you, or the dose may need to be adjusted.
• Drug interactions: Fluconazole can interact with several other medications, including certain blood thinners, anticonvulsants, and medications for heart conditions. Always inform your doctor about other medications you're taking.

How to Take:

• Take the tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Follow the instructions on the packaging or your healthcare provider's advice regarding the dosage.
• If you're using it for a vaginal infection, it may also be used in conjunction with a topical treatment (depending on your doctor’s instructions).
