How It Works
Fluconazole works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme 14α-demethylase, which is crucial for ergosterol production in fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased cell membrane permeability, ultimately causing fungal cell death.
Duration of Action
The medication typically shows initial improvement within 24-72 hours. The full therapeutic effect may take 7-14 days depending on the infection type. Plasma half-life is approximately 30 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing.
Dosage
| Age Group | Condition | Dose/Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Adults | Vaginal Candidiasis | 150mg (15ml) single dose |
| Children | Oral Thrush | 3-6mg/kg first day, then 3mg/kg daily |
| Adults | Systemic Candidiasis | 50-400mg (5-40ml) daily for 14-30 days |
Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, and occasional skin rash. Less common effects may include changes in taste sensation and mild liver function abnormalities.
Warning
Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if signs of allergic reaction occur, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Monitor liver function during extended treatment periods.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Use during pregnancy should be avoided unless clearly necessary and prescribed by a healthcare provider. Fluconazole passes into breast milk, so caution is advised during breastfeeding.
