Thrush is a fungal infection, commonly caused by a type of yeast called candida. Although candida is naturally present in the body, an imbalance can trigger thrush symptoms. Fluconazole 150mg (also known as Diflucan and other brand names) kills certain types of fungi and restores your body's natural balance.
Fluconazole treatment for thrush is simple - just one capsule to be swallowed with a glass of water. You can take this medicine at any time of day, with or without a meal.
Women taking fluconazole should see an improvement within a few days. Some women will notice improvement in 24 hours.
For men, the condition can take a little longer to clear up. The symptoms should clear up within a few days, although this can take up to a week.
If your condition hasn't cleared up within one week, you should consult a doctor.
Thrush is an infection which can occur without sexual contact, so it is not a sexually transmitted disease. However, the infection can be passed on during sex, so it is recommended that you should not have sex until the infection has cleared up.
If you regularly suffer from thrush, then it's advisable that both you and your partner have thrush treatment at the same time.
Taking too much can make you unwell, so contact your doctor or nearest hospital immediately if you take more than you should.
As with any medicine, there are side effects. Although a serious allergic reaction to fluconazole is rare. Common side effects (occurring in one in ten patients) include nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, wind, rash and headache. However, these side effects are usually mild and don't tend to last long. If symptoms persist, or are particularly severe, contact your doctor.
A full list of side effects is available in the manufacturer's.
You should not take fluconazole while you are pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding.

Background:Drug-induced fungal infection (DIF) affects a large number of people in the developing world. The infection is often caused by the fungus Candida albicans and the associated disease is the main cause of mortality. Although there is a lack of evidence of cure, DIF remains a major public health problem in the developing world. DIF can be effectively treated in the absence of a host. However, once the infection is discovered, there is no cure. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the effectiveness and clinical efficacy of fluconazole and diflucan in the treatment of DIF.
Methods:We used a questionnaire to document the clinical efficacy of the different formulations of fluconazole and diflucan. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups, using the self-administration questionnaire for the treatment of DIF, either daily or a single dose of either 0.3 mg/kg/day or 200 mg/day. The efficacy of diflucan was also evaluated in a prospective study. All patients provided a written informed consent.
Results:During the study, the number of adverse events (AEs) in the fluconazole group was significantly higher than the diflucan group (7.7 vs. 4.1 events, p < 0.01). Moreover, the total AEs was significantly lower in the diflucan group compared to the placebo group (0.7 vs. 1.9 events, p < 0.01). In addition, the total AEs were significantly higher in the fluconazole group than in the placebo group (8.6 vs. 6.3 events, p < 0.01). Furthermore, the treatment efficacy was significantly higher in the fluconazole group than in the placebo group (6.9 vs. 2.1 events, p < 0.01).
Conclusions:In conclusion, the clinical effectiveness and treatment efficacy of the different formulations of fluconazole and diflucan were compared. The pharmacokinetics of fluconazole and diflucan in DIF were comparable. However, the AEs were lower in the fluconazole group.
A1B1Although there is a lack of evidence on cure, DIF remains a major public health problem in the developing world. The patients were evaluated once, three, or more times, using the questionnaire for the treatment of DIF. The efficacy of fluconazole was significantly higher in the diflucan group than in the placebo group (2.7 vs. 1.8 events, p < 0.01).
Materials and methods:A self-administration questionnaire for the treatment of DIF, was developed by a registered nurse (NF), and was used to determine the effectiveness and clinical efficacy of the different formulations of fluconazole and diflucan in the treatment of DIF.
Study setting and design:This was a prospective study. This study was conducted in the period from January 2009 to January 2009 in the department of General Hospital of Gauteng Province in South Africa. The study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and its subsequent amendments. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Gauteng University, South Africa. The study was registered on the Clinical Trial Registry in the South African Clinical Trials Registry under the IDRCTN registration number: NCT02102538.
Main inclusion criteria:A history of DIF and a single dose of fluconazole was the main inclusion criteria.
