DESCRIPTION
Fluconazole, the first of a new subclass of synthetic triazole
antifungal agents, is
available as tablets for oral administration.

-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)
benzyl alcohol with an empirical formula of C
H
F N O and molecular weight of 306.3.
The structural formula is:
Fluconazole is a white crystalline solid which is slightly soluble in
water and saline.
Each fluconazole tablet, USP contains either 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, or
200 mg of
fluconazole and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose
sodium, dibasic

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACOKINETICS AND METABOLISM
The pharmacokinetic properties of fluconazole are similar following
administration by the
intravenous or oral routes. In normal volunteers, the bioavailability
of orally administered
fluconazole is over 90% compared with intravenous administration.
Bioequivalence was
established between the 100 mg tablet and both suspension strengths
when
administered as a single 200 mg dose.
Peak plasma concentrations (C
) in fasted normal volunteers occur between 1 and 2
hours with a terminal plasma elimination half-life of approximately 30
hours (range: 20 to
50 hours) after oral administration.
In fasted normal volunteers, administration of a single oral 400 mg
dose of fluconazole
leads to a mean C
of 6.72 mcg/mL (range: 4.12 to 8.08 mcg/mL) and after single oral

doses of 50 to 400 mg, fluconazole plasma concentrations and AUC (area

The C

fluconazole
tablets to healthy volunteers under fasting conditions and with a
high-fat meal indicated
