Fluconazole Capsule

Fluconazole is an antifungal medication that is used to treat candidiasis, otherwise known as thrush which can affect both men and women. Fluconazole belongs to a group of medicines called antifungals. The active substance is fluconazole. Fluconazole tablets are used to treat infections caused by fungi and may also be used to stop you from getting a candidal infection. The most common cause of fungal infection is a yeast called Candida.

Fluconazole is also known by its brand name Diflucan.

Fluconazole comes in a tablet that you swallow with a drink of water. You must take the medication until you have completed the course of treatment. It is best to take your capsules at the same time each day. When you buy Fluconazole tablets online always take them as your doctor or prescriber has suggested.

If you are unsure how to take this medication contact your doctor or pharmacist and they will be able to advise you.

Thrush is a common yeast infection that affects men and women. It’s usually harmless but it can be uncomfortable and keep coming back. It is not classed as a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

If you think you might have an STI please get tested at your local sexual health clinic.

You’ll usually need antifungal medicine to get rid of thrush. This can be a tablet you take, a tablet you insert into your vagina (pessary), or a cream to relieve the irritation.

Thrush symptoms in women include:

• white vaginal discharge (like cottage cheese), which does not usually smell
• itching and irritation around the vagina
• soreness and stinging during sex or when you pee

Thrush Symptoms in men include:

• irritation, burning, and redness around the head of the penis and under the foreskin
• a white discharge (like cottage cheese)
• an unpleasant smell
• difficulty pulling back the foreskin

Thrush can affect other areas of skin, such as the armpits, groin, and between the fingers. This usually causes a red, itchy, or painful rash that scales over with a white or yellow discharge. The rash may not be so obvious on darker skin. Sometimes thrush causes no symptoms at all.

You can read more about thrush causes, symptoms and treatments on our Health Hub blog.

• Avoiding tight-fitting, synthetic clothing
• Use PH balanced soaps (for women)
• Avoid staying in wet clothes such as swimming costumes
• Don’t take antibiotics unless you need them (as this can disrupt the natural bacteria in your body)
