DIFLUCAN
DESCRIPTION AND SIDE EFFECTS
BUY DIFLUCAN
overview:
Diflucan is an antifungal agent used
to treat infections in certain areas of the body caused by yeast and
yeast-like organisms.
DIRECTIONS:
Diflucan works best when
the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this
by taking the Diflucan at evenly spaced intervals. Take as directed
since different conditions require different methods of use. Diflucan
is usually taken once daily. Another dosing method involves taking the
drug for one week per month until treatment is completed. Continue to
take Diflucan until the full prescribed amount is finished even
if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping from taking Diflucan too
early may allow the yeast to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of
the infection.
side effects:
Diflucan may cause
stomach upset, loss of appetite, altered taste, diarrhea, nausea,
headache or dizziness during the first few days as your body adjusts to
the medication. If these symptoms persist or become severe, inform your
doctor. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to
Diflucan, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction
include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you
notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or
pharmacist.
warnings and precautions:
Before taking Diflucan Tell your doctor your
medical history, especially of: liver disease, kidney disease, any drug
allergies. This medication should be used only when clearly needed
