A 150 mg fluconazole capsule is a single-dose oral antifungal medication primarily used to treat vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis). It works by stopping the growth of the Candida yeast that causes the infection. Fluconazole is also available in other strengths and forms for a wider range of fungal infections. 

Common usage

    • Vaginal yeast infection (thrush): A single 150 mg capsule is a common and effective treatment. For recurrent infections, a doctor may prescribe a different dosing regimen.
    • Candidal balanitis (penile thrush): This fungal infection in men is also treated with a single 150 mg dose. 

    Important considerations

    • Prescription required: Fluconazole is a prescription-only medication. It is crucial to consult a doctor or pharmacist to confirm the correct diagnosis and treatment.
    • Not for all infections: It treats fungal infections, not bacterial ones. Similar symptoms like itching or unusual discharge can sometimes be caused by a bacterial infection, which would require a different medication.
    • Complete the course: For multi-dose prescriptions, complete the entire course of medication as directed by your doctor, even if symptoms improve quickly. Stopping early can cause the infection to return and potentially lead to drug resistance. 

    Before taking fluconazole

    Inform your healthcare provider if you have any of the following conditions: 

    • Liver or kidney disease
    • Heart conditions, including an irregular heartbeat
    • Low levels of potassium, calcium, or magnesium in your blood
    • A weakened immune system
    • Pregnancy, or if you are planning to become pregnant. High or frequent doses in early pregnancy have been associated with birth defects.
    • Breastfeeding, as the drug can pass into breast milk. 

    Drug interactions
    Do not take with the following medications due to the risk of serious side effects, including dangerous heart rhythm problems: 

      • Erythromycin
      • Pimozide
      • Quinidine
      • Astemizole
      • Cisapride 

      Common side effects
      The 150 mg single-dose capsule is generally well-tolerated, but common side effects can include: 

        • Headache
        • Nausea
        • Stomach pain
        • Diarrhea
        • Dizziness 

        When to seek immediate medical attention

        Though rare, fluconazole can cause severe side effects. Stop taking the medication and seek emergency medical help if you experience: 

        • Signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing
        • Signs of serious liver problems, such as unusual tiredness, dark urine, pale stools, or yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
        • A severe skin rash that is peeling or blistering
        • A fast or irregular heartbeat
