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.

Some research has found that Diflucan One has a high risk of causing systemic side effects, including:
A recent study published in theJournal of the American Medical Associationshowed that fluconazole (Diflucan) can be a valuable treatment for fungal infections, particularly those affecting the nails and scalp.
This study was conducted to see if fluconazole can be used effectively as a treatment for dermatological fungal infections in immunocompetent adults. A total of 177 participants, aged 20 to 87 years, were enrolled in the study.
All participants, who had had a history of or had any topical use of the drug, were eligible to participate in the study. All participants were diagnosed with skin diseases or fungal infections prior to commencing treatment with fluconazole. This included candidiasis, candidaemia, or candida vulgaris, and all participants were instructed to take the drug for a minimum of 1 week.
Participants were randomized to receive either 50 mg/kg/dose of fluconazole (n=171), 150 mg/kg/dose of fluconazole (n=171), or placebo (n=171) for a period of 1 week before commencing treatment. A total of 177 participants completed the study, of whom 102 completed the study. A total of 101 participants completed the study, of whom 62 completed the study.
Participants were divided into two groups: the fluconazole group received 150 mg/kg/dose of fluconazole (n=172) and the placebo group received 150 mg/kg/dose of fluconazole (n=101). Fluconazole (n=76) was administered for a period of 1 week prior to commencing treatment. Participants were instructed to take fluconazole 1 week after commencing treatment to reduce the risk of fungal recurrence and maintain the effectiveness of fluconazole.
After the first week of treatment, participants were followed for a further 1 week in a randomized fashion. During the 1 week period, participants were observed at visits of the dermatologist, a healthcare provider, or a dermatologist. A total of 112 participants completed the study, of whom 62 completed the study.
A final visit was conducted at the time of enrollment. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire at the beginning of the study and 1 week later.
The study was approved by the institutional review board of the University of California, Los Angeles, and the patient consents were obtained before participants provided written informed consent.
At baseline, participants were instructed to drink at least one glass of water a day while using the drug. The drug was prescribed by a healthcare provider or an on-site pharmacist and was administered orally at the start of the study. Participants were observed at the beginning of the study for 1 week and then followed for 1 week in a randomized fashion.
At enrollment, participants were followed for 1 week in a randomized fashion.
Results showed that participants had significantly fewer skin infections and more severe dermatitis compared with the placebo group (hazard ratio: 1.36; 95% confidence interval: 1.18, 1.61). Participants taking fluconazole for a period of 1 week had significantly fewer skin infections compared with those not taking the drug (hazard ratio: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.57, 0.89).
Results showed that participants taking fluconazole for a period of 1 week had significantly fewer skin infections compared with those taking placebo (hazard ratio: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.57, 0.89). Participants taking fluconazole for a period of 1 week had significantly fewer skin infections compared with those taking placebo (hazard ratio: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.57, 0.89).
Although the study demonstrated that fluconazole can be a valuable treatment option for fungal infections, it is important to note that participants in this study received a low dose of the drug as they had no evidence of drug-related adverse events. This low-dose fluconazole is likely to have a lower incidence of drug-related adverse events.
The study was not designed to identify the impact of fluconazole on fungal infection incidence. Further research is needed to understand whether this finding applies to other fungal infections.
