Thrush is a fungal infection, commonly caused by a type of yeast called candida. Although candida is naturally present in the body, an imbalance can trigger thrush symptoms. Fluconazole 150mg (also known as Diflucan and other brand names) kills certain types of fungi and restores your body's natural balance.
Fluconazole treatment for thrush is simple - just one capsule to be swallowed with a glass of water. You can take this medicine at any time of day, with or without a meal.
Women taking fluconazole should see an improvement within a few days. Some women will notice improvement in 24 hours.
For men, the condition can take a little longer to clear up. The symptoms should clear up within a few days, although this can take up to a week.
If your condition hasn't cleared up within one week, you should consult a doctor.
Thrush is an infection which can occur without sexual contact, so it is not a sexually transmitted disease. However, the infection can be passed on during sex, so it is recommended that you should not have sex until the infection has cleared up.
If you regularly suffer from thrush, then it's advisable that both you and your partner have thrush treatment at the same time.
Taking too much can make you unwell, so contact your doctor or nearest hospital immediately if you take more than you should.
As with any medicine, there are side effects. Although a serious allergic reaction to fluconazole is rare. Common side effects (occurring in one in ten patients) include nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, wind, rash and headache. However, these side effects are usually mild and don't tend to last long. If symptoms persist, or are particularly severe, contact your doctor.
A full list of side effects is available in the manufacturer's.

Diflucan is used for the treatment of various fungal infections, including yeast infections, systemic luproin (SLD) anemia, and acne. Diflucan belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, and it works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which causes the production of a nitric oxide intramuscular dose of nitric oxide (NO) in the body. This allows the body to get a dose that is enough to treat fungal infections.
Diflucan is usually taken orally, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage of this medication may vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient's response to the medication. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor. Diflucan is taken with or without food, and the duration of treatment may vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient's response to the medication. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of drug-resistant infections and to ensure that the infection is fully treated.
The most common side effects of Diflucan include nausea, headache, and stomach upset. These side effects are usually mild and subside as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or become severe, contact your doctor immediately.
This medication may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a known allergy to Diflucan or a history of allergic reactions to other medications, such as sulfonamides, tell your doctor before taking Diflucan.
Diflucan works by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called squitiety-enhancer (SEED) in the fungal cell membrane, causing squitusted, entitle crystals (fungalSingle-Intense-Drug-Ethers) to leak into the extracellular fluids of fungal cells, causing them to die and the fungal cell walls to become necrotic. SEEDs are present both in the cell membrane and in fungal cells. In the case of SEEDs, the fungal cell is also the cell that lines the fungal cell wall. The cell wall of fungal cells is composed of a layer of fluid called the......................................... layer.
