Instructions for use
A distinctive feature of the flucostat is the precise direction of its action. The drug "hits" only on fungal cells, keeping "intact" the bacteria that are needed to maintain a healthy microflora of the gastrointestinal tract or vagina. So in the fight against a milkmaid, a better "assistant" than a flucostat can not be found. After all, it perfectly helps in suppressing the activity of fungi of the genus Candida.
Flucostat releases as capsules and a solution that is used when the drug has to be injected through a syringe. In both cases, the active substance is fluconazole, but its concentration varies. Tablets are available in three types: fluconazole 50, 100 or 150 mg. On the shelves of pharmacies you can find bottles with a solution for injections of 0.2 percent for 50 and 100 mL. Fluconazole in them for 200 mg.
According to specialists, Flucostat capsules are very well absorbed. Their bioavailability is ninety percent, therefore it is not recommended to exceed the dosage. Most often, one pill per day is enough, and at an early stage there will be enough and one reception. It does not matter whether you drink a pill with food or not. It is absorbed equally well. Their body fluconazole is excreted through the kidneys. Almost 80 percent goes with urine.

If the immunity is weakened
Most often, the drug can be taken as people with normal immunity, and those who suffer from immunosuppression (for example, those who survived organ transplantation or are sick with AIDS). By the way, in the second case it is still used as a means of maintenance therapy for the prevention of cryptococcal infection.
It is noteworthy that treatment can be performed in patients with malignant neoplasms, in intensive care units, in patients undergoing cytostatic or immunosuppressive therapy, and in the presence of other factors predisposing to the development of candidiasis.

Flukstat "conflicts" with some drugs. It should not be "interfered" with terfenadine or astemizole, as well as other drugs that extend the QT interval.
Also, a contraindication may be increased sensitivity to Flukostat components or a similar structure of azole compounds. Do not give it to children who are under three years old, as well as pregnant and lactating mothers .

For the prevention of cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS patients, it is recommended to take 200 mg per day. And with candidemia, disseminated candidiasis, and other similar infections, on the first day the dose is 400 mg, then it should be cut in half.
When orofaringenal candidiasis is prescribed 50-100 mg once a day. Take the drug is recommended for at least a week. In the case when a person suffers also from suppressed immunity - treatment should be longer.
If problems arise due to wearing dentures, then 50 mg once a day is enough. However, Flukostat should be taken within two weeks. The same or even longer course of the drug is prescribed for candidal infections of the mucous membranes. To get rid of this ailment, Flukostat should be taken at a dosage of 50-100 mg, every day from two weeks to a month.
To prevent the recurrence of oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with AIDS after completion of the full course of primary therapy, 150 mg once a week can be prescribed.

Treatment of children
In candidiasis of the mucous membranes, the dose is 3 mg per kilogram of weight, on the first day a shock dose of 6 mg / kg can be prescribed. Dosage is increased when it comes to the treatment of generalized candidiasis and cryptococcal infection. Therapy will be effective if every day give the child 6-12 mg / kg.
For the prevention of fungal infections, a daily dosage of 3 to 12 mg / kg will suffice. In this case, it should be borne in mind that for those who have just been born, the interval between injections is 72 hours, and when the child grows up (at the age of two to four weeks) the same dose is administered with a smaller interval. Fluxostat is given once every two days.
In children who at tender age have learned what are the problems of the kidneys, the dose should be reduced (in the same proportion as in adults). To calculate it, you need to understand how pronounced renal failure is. This can only be done by a practitioner.

My doctor prescribed one time Flukostat. I was still surprised that there was only one capsule. But the next day after the reception really passed the symptoms. A year later thrush returned, but only because of taking a serious course of antibiotics, and I have already drunk Flukostat without a doctor's prescription. And again the result did not keep itself waiting! So it's a very good tool!
I did not expect flucostat to help so quickly. It's really enough to take one capsule to get the effect. Previously, I had to suffer with candles and ointments, and not a single day.
Yes, the remedy is really very effective. I also heard from friends that it helps quickly, and when I was diagnosed with thrush, the doctor wrote Flukostat for my joy, so I took it for a while and in 2 days all the signs of the thrush disappeared.
