Pharmacological properties
Diflucan 150 mg refers to the triazole antifungal agents of the new class and is considered a powerful way to combat fungi of different nature. The composition of the drug Diflucan contains the active component fluconazole, which has an antibiotic effect. Suppressing the life processes of fungal microorganisms, fluconazole causes their imminent death. And the drug in no way affects the hormonal background of a woman. The effectiveness of the action of fluconazole was tested in various models of fungal diseases. The drug showed special activity in opportunistic mycoses, including those caused by Candida spp.

Diflucane Capsules 150 mg are swallowed whole. The daily dose of the active substance depends on the type of fungus infection and the age of the patient. Treatment with the drug can begin even before the results of laboratory studies have been obtained, but the definition of specific therapy is possible only when they become known. To prevent recurrence of candidiasis (thrush) Diflucan is taken monthly at a dosage of 150 mg for a single dose.
