Keep Fungal & Yeast Infections at Bay with Generic Diflucan Treatment

 

Fungal and yeast infections can virtually occur in any part of the body that includes throat, mouth, esophagus, bladder, lungs, genital area and blood. Generic Diflucan (Fluconazole) is orally administered in the form of tablets to treat all these infections successfully. However, Diflucan can also be administered as a powder for oral suspension and a sterile solution for injection. It belongs to a new subclass of synthetic triazole anti-fungal agents.

Fluconazole is recommended to avert fungal infection in patients with frail immune systems, particularly after the chemotherapy cancer treatment, bone marrow transplant or diseases such as AIDS. It is also used for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections, pneumonia induced by yeast and fungal urinary tract infections. Generic Diflucan or Fluconazole works by inhibiting the way the fungi organisms construct their cell walls and thereby, kills the infections by blocking their prime activity.

Before starting generic Fluconazole treatment, you should have essential pieces of information about this generic drug. Diflucan (Fluconazole) should not be used in patients who are allergic to Fluconazole or same genre of drugs such as econazole, spectazole, clotrimazole, sulconazole, terconazole, voriconazole, etc. Diflucan should not be consumed if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid) or terfenadine (Seldane) at a given period of time. Simultaneous administration of these drugs with Diflucan could lead to severe or even deadly heart ailments.

Speak to your doctor if you’re suffering from kidney disease, liver disease, or heart beat disorder. A history of Long QT syndrome should also be reported. Use Fluconazole tablets regularly for the complete duration of the treatment, as directed by your physician. Your symptoms of fungal and yeast infections will soon be bettered if you adhere to the guidelines of the doctor. Bear one thing in mind that generic Diflucan or Fluconazole won’t cure your viral infection e.g. the common cold or flu.

It is always advisable to discuss a number of things with your doctor before starting out the generic Diflucan therapy. Tell your doctor if you’re currently taking cisapride (Propulsid) or terfenadine (Seldane) as these drugs usually interact with generic Diflucan (Fluconazole) and can cause severe or even fatal heart problems. Tell your doctor if you have allergic reaction to Fluconazole or any other similar drugs before starting the treatment. As a result, you may not be recommended for this generic drug or you may require adjustment of your dosages or special supervising during your treatment.

As generic Diflucan is listed in the FDA pregnancy category C, it is still unclear whether an unborn baby will get affected by this. However, take the advice of your doctor before using the medicine if you are pregnant or may conceive during the course of the treatment. Diflucan (Fluconazole) has the tendency of passing into the breast milk. So, breastfeeding mothers should not use it. Consult your doctor first if you’re nursing a baby. Let your doctor know if you have any other medical conditions like kidney or liver disease, a heartbeat disorder, or a past happening of Long QT syndrome in you or in your family.
