Indications/Uses
Fluconazole is prescribed to treat fungal infections of the mouth, throat, esophagus, lungs, bladder, genitals and blood. It is also used to prevent fungal infection in people with weak immune systems caused by cancer treatment, bone marrow transplant or diseases such as AIDS.
Dosage/Direction for Use
Use fluconazole exactly as instructed by your doctor for it to be effective.
- Take fluconazole with or without food; with food if it causes stomach upset.
