Specimens for fungal culture and other relevant laboratory studies (serology, histopathology) should be obtained prior to therapy to isolate and identify causative organisms. Therapy may be instituted before the results of the cultures and other laboratory studies are known; however, once these results become available, anti-infective therapy should be adjusted accordingly. Fluconazole tablets are contraindicated in patients who have shown hypersensitivity to fluconazole or to any of its excipients. There is no information regarding cross-hypersensitivity between fluconazole and other azole antifungal agents. Caution should be used in prescribing fluconazole to patients with hypersensitivity to other azoles. Coadministration of other drugs known to prolong the QT interval and which are metabolized via the enzyme CYP3A4 such as erythromycin, pimozide, and quinidine are contraindicated in patients receiving fluconazole (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Drug Interaction Studies and PRECAUTIONS).

ylmethyl)benzyl alcohol with an empirical formula of C
H
F N O and molecular weight
of 306.27. The structural formula is:
Fluconazole, USP is a white or almost white crystalline powder which
is freely soluble in
methanol; soluble in alcohol and in acetone; sparingly soluble in
isopropanol and in
chloroform; slightly soluble in water; very slightly soluble in
toluene.

PHARMACOKINETICS AND METABOLISM

by the intravenous or oral routes. In normal volunteers, the
bioavailability of orally
administered fluconazole is over 90% compared with intravenous
administration.

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 or
multiple oral doses of 50 to 400 mg, fluconazole plasma concentrations
and area under
the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) are dose proportional (Table
