Diflucan works by preventing fungus from making its own form of plant-based cholesterol that the fungus needs to survive. In this way, Diflucan works by killing the fungus affecting your body.

Diflucan is commonly used to treat yeast infections. Diflucan for yeast infection works to get rid of the yeast infection by stopping the growth of fungus. Yeast infections commonly appear in the vagina as vaginal candidiasis, but can also appear elsewhere such as the penis or mouth.

Diflucan begins working within 4 hours of ingestion, with complete symptom resolution within 16 hours for mild fungal infections.

Most yeast infection and thrush symptoms will improve within 1 day of taking Diflucan. More complicated or repeated infections may require longer treatment duration to completely resolve the infection.

You should take Diflucan exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It’s available as a cream, tablet, or oral suspension. The course of treatment will depend on the type of fungal infection.

Vaginal infections often only require a single oral dose of Diflucan tablets, while other types of infections will require longer treatment and may start with a double dose.

If you miss a dose of fluconazole, take it as soon as possible. If it’s close to when you’re supposed to take your next dose, simply skip the missed dose.

Always follow your doctor’s dosing and administration instructions.

Diflucan has a relatively long half life, so it can last, on average, six to nine days in your system. It is important to note that everyone will metabolize the drug differently. Because it stays in the body so long, it is common for yeast infections to be cleared after a single dose.

As with all medications, Diflucan does present a risk of side effects. The most common side effects include:

• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea
• Chills, body aches, fever, flu-like symptoms
• Dizziness
• Skin rash or skin lesions
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Changes in your sense of taste
• Easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness
• Hair loss
• Swelling of the mouth, lips, and tongue

This is not a complete list of side effects. Ask your doctor about the potential side effects before taking Diflucan. If you experience an allergic reaction, make sure to seek immediate medical attention.

Diflucan side effects can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, if mild. Talk to a doctor if the side effects linger.

Yes, you can drink alcohol on Diflucan, as it doesn’t interact with alcohol. However, alcohol may make some of the side effects, including stomach pain and nausea, worse.

Diflucan isn’t appropriate for every patient or every situation. Taking fluconazole may cause interactions with other medical conditions you have or other medications that you take.
