Diflucan (fluconazole) can be prescribed by your doctor to treat antifungal infections in people whose immune systems have been weakened by some medicines or diseases. You will not be able to take Diflucan if you are allergic to fluconazole, clotrimazole, econazole, voriconazole, miconazole, sertaconazole, sulconazole, terconazole, tioconazole or ketoconazole, as it is likely to cause the same reaction again. You should be careful with taking this medication unless you are absolutely sure there are no medical conditions you have or used to have (such as liver or kidney disease, heart rhythm disorder etc) that can potentially interfere with the treatment.
Take Diflucan exactly as recommended by your health care provider without taking too much or too little. If your doctor did not provide clear instructions you can read the information on the label. The symptoms of Diflucan overdose may be hard to spot. If you think you may have taken too much of this drug and experience unusual thoughts and confusion seek emergency medical assistance. Diflucan side effects are commonly mild and short lived. They include dizziness, skin rash, mild nausea, itching, upset stomach, diarrhea, vomiting, unpleasant taste in your mouth and headache.
