 WHAT TO
KNOW
Do not take fluconazole if you are taking cisapride
(Propulsid). Combined with cisapride (Propulsid),
fluconazole could cause serious, even fatal,
heart problems. In rare cases, fluconazole has
caused severe liver damage, sometimes resulting
in death. Notify your doctor immediately if
you develop nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, yellow skin
or eyes, itching, dark urine, or clay colored
stools. These symptoms may be early signs of
liver damage. In rare cases, fluconazole has
also caused severe skin rash, sometimes resulting
in death. Notify your doctor immediately fi
you develop a rash while taking fluconazole.
Take all of the fluconazole that has been prescribed
for you even if you begin to feel better. Your
symptoms may begin to improve before the infection
is completely treated.
What
Is It
Fluconazole is an antifungal medication. It
is like an antibiotic but is used to treat fungal
infections. Fluconazole is used to treat yeast
infections of the mouth, throat, and esophagus;
vaginal yeast infections; fungal urinary tract
infections; pneumonia caused by yeast; and fungal
infections throughout the whole body and in
the blood. Fluconazole is also used to prevent
fungal infections from occurring in people with
suppressed immune systems such as cancer chemotherapy
patients, organ transplant patients, and AIDS
patients. Fluconazole may also be used for purposes
other than those listed in this medication guide.
How
To Use
Take fluconazole exactly as directed by your
doctor. If you do not understand these instructions,
ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain
them to you. Take each dose with a full glass
of water. A single dose of this medication is
often used to treat vaginal yeast infections.
In multiple-dose therapy, a double dose of fluconazole
is often taken on the first day of treatment
to quickly get the proper amount of medicine
into your body. Follow your doctor's directions.
Shake the suspension well before measuring a
dose. To ensure that you get the correct dose,
measure the suspension using a dose-measuring
spoon, cup, or dropper, not a regular table
spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device,
ask your pharmacist where you can get one. Store
the tablets at room temperature away from moisture
and heat. The suspension can be stored at room
temperature or in the refrigerator. Do not let
it freeze. Throw away any unused suspension
after 14 days.
Missed
Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next dose, skip
the dose you missed and take only your next regularly
scheduled dose as directed. Do not take a double
dose of this medication unless otherwise directed
by your doctor.
Over
Dose
Seek emergency medical attention. Symptoms of
a fluconazole overdose include confusion, hallucinations,
paranoia, decreased movement, decreased breathing,
tearing eyes, drooling, urinary incontinence,
seizures, and death.
Side
Effects
If you experience any of the following serious
side effects, stop taking fluconazole and seek
emergency medical attention or notify your doctor
immediately:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing;
closing of your throat; swelling of your lips,
tongue, or face; or hives)
liver damage (pale stools, yellowish skin
or eyes, abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, or
dark urine); or a rash.
Other, less serious side effects may be more
likely to occur. If you experience any of the
following side effects, continue taking fluconazole
and talk to your doctor:
nausea
vomiting
abdominal pain
diarrhea
headache
dizziness
fatigue
itching
Side effects other than those listed here may
also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side
effect that seems unusual or that is especially
bothersome.
Contra
Indications
Use alcohol with moderation while taking fluconazole.
Alcohol and fluconazole can both affect your
liver. Use caution when driving or performing
other hazardous activities. Fluconazole may
cause dizziness. If you experience dizziness,
avoid these activities.
Precautions
Do not take fluconazole if you are taking cisapride
(Propulsid). Combined with cisapride (Propulsid),
fluconazole could cause serious, even fatal,
heart problems. Before taking fluconazole, tell
your doctor if you have any other medical conditions,
especially kidney disease, or if you take other
medicines. You may not be able to take fluconazole,
or you may require a dosage adjustment or special
monitoring during your treatment. Fluconazole
is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means
that it is not known whether it will harm an
unborn baby. Do not take this medication without
first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.
Fluconazole passes into breast milk and may
harm a nursing baby. For this reason, fluconazole
should not be taken by nursing mothers. Do not
take this medication without first talking to
your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Drug
Interactions
Do not take fluconazole if you are taking cisapride
(Propulsid). Combined with cisapride (Propulsid),
fluconazole could cause serious, even fatal,
heart problems. Before taking fluconazole, tell
your doctor if you are taking any other medicines,
especially any of the following:
an oral diabetes medicine such as glipizide
(Glucotrol)
glyburide (Diabeta, Micronase, Glynase), tolbutamide
(Orinase)
tolazamide (Tolinase)
chlorpropamide (Diabinese)
warfarin (Coumadin)
phenytoin (Dilantin, others)
cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral)
tacrolimus ((Prograf)
rifabutin (Mycobutin) or rifampin (Rifadin,
Rimactane)
theophylline (Theo-Dur, Theolair, Theochron,
Elixophyllin, Slo-Phyllin, others)
astemizole (Hismanal).
You may not be able to take fluconazole, or
you may require a dosage adjustment or special
monitoring during treatment if you are taking
any of the medicines listed above. Drugs other
than those listed here may also interact with
fluconazole or affect your condition. Talk to
your doctor and pharmacist before taking any
prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
