Diflucan is used to treat vaginal candidiasis (fungal infection of the vagina). Diflucan is a fluoroquinolone drug, which works by stopping the growth of bacteria (called a candida infection). The drug does not stop the growth of candida, it only kills the fungus. Diflucan works by blocking the production of the fungal cell membrane (called the fungal cell membrane). Diflucan is taken orally or by mouth, taken as an injection. You can buy Diflucan at Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS. The recommended starting dose is 50mg once or twice daily. It is important that you do not take it more than once a day, unless your doctor has told you to do so. Do not stop taking Diflucan without consulting your doctor first. Taking more than the recommended dose can increase the risk of side effects such as blood clots, heart attacks, stroke, or liver problems.
Diflucan is available in tablet form. The tablet form is easy to swallow, is rapidly absorbed, and has no sedating effect. It is a preferred form of oral dosing, as it is less likely to cause drowsiness and less likely to cause stomach upset than the oral dosing method. Diflucan tablets are available in 100mg, 150mg, and 200mg strengths. The 100mg strength is suitable for children. The 150mg strength is suitable for adults and children over the age of 12. Diflucan is not recommended for pregnant women, children under 12 years old, or for people with liver problems.
The recommended dosage is usually 50mg once or twice daily. The usual starting dose is 50mg once or twice daily. The dosage strength for children is 150mg once or twice daily.
The recommended dosage is usually 100mg once or twice daily. The usual starting dose is 100mg once or twice daily.

Diflucan should not be used if you have certain medical conditions such as liver disease, glaucoma, or if you have had a stroke or heart attack within the past 6 months. Diflucan may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia). If you have any of these conditions, you should avoid taking Diflucan. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks of using Diflucan for treating these conditions.
Diflucan is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It works by killing or stopping the growth of the bacteria that cause fungal infection. Diflucan does not prevent the infection from becoming reinfected, it only kills the bacteria. If you have a history of bladder cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, or other kidney problems, you should not use Diflucan unless your doctor advises you to do so. You should not use Diflucan if you are taking fluconazole (a drug used to treat fungal infections).
