What is it used for?
Diflucan (fluconazole) is indicated for the treatment of:
1. Vaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast infections due to Candida).
2. Oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis. In open noncomparative studies of relatively small numbers of patients, Diflucan was also effective for the treatment of Candida urinary tract infections, peritonitis, and systemic Candida infections including candidemia, disseminated candidiasis, and pneumonia.
3. Cryptococcal meningitis. Diflucan is also indicated to decrease the incidence of candidiasis in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation who receive cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
Contraindications and cautions:
Diflucan (fluconazole) is contraindicated in patients who have shown hypersensitivity to fluconazole or to any of its excipients. There is no information regarding cross-hypersensitivity between fluconazole and other azole antifungal agents. Caution should be used in prescribing Diflucan to patients with hypersensitivity to other azoles. Coadministration of terfenadine is contraindicated in patients receiving Diflucan (fluconazole) at multiple doses of 400 mg or higher based upon results of a multiple dose interaction study. Coadministration of cisapride is contraindicated in patients receiving Diflucan (fluconazole).
Diflucan has been associated with rare cases of serious hepatic toxicity, including fatalities primarily in patients with serious underlying medical conditions. In cases of Diflucan -associated hepatotoxicity, no obvious relationship to total daily dose, duration of therapy, sex or age of the patient has been observed. Patients who develop abnormal liver function tests during Diflucan therapy should be monitored for the development of more severe hepatic injury. Diflucan should be discontinued if clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop that may be attributable to Diflucan.
Patients have rarely developed exfoliative skin disorders during treatment with Diflucan. Fluconazole should be administered with caution to patients with the potentially proarrhythmic conditions.
