Contraindications

hypersensitivity to fluconazole, other azole compounds or to any of the excipients of the preparation;

the simultaneous use of fluconazole and terfenadine in patients who use fluconazole multiple times at doses of 400 mg / day and above (according to the results of a study of the interaction of repeated use);

concomitant use of fluconazole and other preparations that prolong the QT interval and are metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme (for example, cisapride, astemizole, pimozide, quinidine and erythromycin).

Mode of application

The daily dose of fluconazole depends on the type and severity of the fungal infection. For most cases of vaginal candidiasis, a single use of the preparation is sufficient. If necessary, repeated use of the preparation, the treatment of infections should be continued until the clinical and laboratory manifestations of the activity of the fungal infection disappear. Insufficient duration of treatment can lead to the resumption of an active infectious process.
