Fluconazole 100mg Tablets

Antifungal

Fluconazole is an antifungal drug effective against fungus and yeast. It is typically used for skin infections, fungus in the nail beds, and more intense fungal infections including Cryptococcosis, Blastomycosis and Histoplasmosis. It is related to Ketoconazole, but is able to more effectively cross the brain-blood barrier, making it more successful in treating fungal infections of the central nervous system. Fluconazole is also effective against ringworm [dermatophytosis], but is typically reserved for more serious infections. Used also in the treatment of Malassezia dermatitis.

Fluconazole works by inhibiting production of the fungal cell wall. This causes the fungus to be structurally inadequate so that it leaks and dies.

Fluconazole has fewer side effects than most other antifungals. There has been no contraindications, precautions and drug interactions reported.

Caution: Do not give Fluconazole to pregnant pets. Use caution when administering this drug to diabetic pets, lactating pets or those with kidney or liver disease.

Fluconazole may react with the following drugs: Amphotericin B, Cyclosporine, Hydrochlorothisazide and Rifampin.

Fluconazole has been found to be very safe in pets, but not extensively researched. These side effects have been observed in humans on this drug: allergic reaction (labored breathing, hives), vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, loss of appetite, dark urine or jaundice, pale mucous membranes.

Please contact your veterinarian and stop use of Fluconazole if any of these reactions occur.
