Efficacy/Effectiveness

It is used to treat all fungal infections.

Usage/Capacity

1. An adult

1) Zycandidosis: 150 mg single oral dose as fluconazole 

2) mucosal candidiasis

(1) Oral pharyngeal candidiasis: as this drug, 50 mg is administered once a day for 7-14 days and can be extended at the discretion of the doctor.

(2) Chronic atrophic oral candidiasis (intraoral pain caused by dentures): This is a drug that is usually administered once a day for 14 days and requires local disinfection of the dentures.

(3) Other mucosal candidiasis (e.g., esophageal candidiasis, non-invasive bronchial lung infections, candidiasis, skin mucosal candidiasis, etc.): As this drug, 50 mg is administered once a day for 14-30 days, and in the case of refractory mucosal candidiasis, it can be increased to 100 mg once a day.

3) Systemic candidiasis including candidiasis, disseminated candidiasis, and other invasive candidiasis (peritoneal, endocardial, lung, urinary system, etc.): this drug is usually administered once a day, 200 mg once a day from the next day, and can be increased to 400 mg once a day, depending on the patient's response. The duration of administration is determined by clinical response and medical judgment.

4) Cryptococcus meningitis and cryptococcosis in other areas: As this drug, it is usually administered once a day, and then 200–400 mg once a day from the next day. The duration of treatment is determined by clinical and fungal reactions, but it should usually be administered for at least 6–8 weeks.

5) In order to prevent recurrence of cryptococcus meningitis in AIDS patients, at least 200 mg is administered indefinitely once a day as this drug after the patient has received all basic treatment.

6) Prevention of fungal infections in patients with immune failure who are at risk of fungal infections due to neutropenia due to cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or bone marrow transplantation: 50–400 mg should be administered once a day as this drug depending on the patient's risk of developing fungal infections. 400 mg is recommended once a day for patients at very high risk of systemic fungal infections, that is, patients with severe neutropenia or expected to have a long period of neutropenia, as in the case of bone marrow transplantation. 400 mg should be administered to these patients 5-6 days before neutropenia is expected to begin, and 400 mg should be continuously administered for one week even after the number of neutrophils increases to 1,000 cells/mm or more.

7) 150 mg is administered once a week for nail and nail mycosis, and the administration period is until the hands and toenails grow back (uninfected new hands, toenails grow). It usually takes 3-6 months for a new nail to grow, 6-12 months for a toenail, and the growth rate can vary from person to person. After successful treatment with long-term administration, sometimes hands and toenails remain damaged.

8) Skin mycobacterial infections including athlete's foot (foot white glands), somatic white glands, psoriasis (white glands), and skin candidiasis: As this drug, 50 mg once a day or 150 mg once a week is administered for 2-4 weeks. However, in the case of athlete's foot, administration may be required for 6 weeks depending on the course. For wild geese, 50 mg is administered once a day for 2-4 weeks.

2. A child

Pediatric doses based on adult doses generally apply the following criteria, and do not exceed a maximum of 400 mg.

Precautions for use

Fluconazole must comply with the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. It must be swallowed whole and can be taken regardless of food. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the condition you are being treated.

Sometimes this will be in the use and non-use cycle. For maximum effect, take this medication at regular intervals and continue to use it until the end of the prescription, even if the symptoms disappear after a few days.

Aborting treatment too early can lead to a recurrence of infection, and missing doses can increase the risk of infection that is resistant to further treatment. If the infection does not improve or worsen, notify your doctor. Do not take antacids within 1 hour before taking them or 2 hours after taking them.

Side effects

Abdominal pain, headaches, and nausea. You can contact your doctor about how to prevent or reduce these effects. If you notice signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, swelling of your lips, neck, or face, swallowing or breathing problems, dizziness, and nausea, stop taking your medication and consult your doctor immediately.
