MEDICATION GUIDE
Fluconazole (floo-KOE-na-zole) Tablets, USP
This leaflet contains important information about fluconazole. It is
not meant to take the place of your
doctor's instructions. Read this information carefully before you take
fluconazole. Ask your doctor or
pharmacist if you do not understand any of this information or if you
want to know more about
fluconazole.
What Is Fluconazole?
Fluconazole is a tablet you swallow to treat vaginal yeast infections
caused by a yeast called Candida.
Fluconazole helps stop too much yeast from growing in the vagina so
the yeast infection goes away.
Fluconazole is different from other treatments for vaginal yeast
infections because it is a tablet taken by
mouth. Fluconazole is also used for other conditions. However, this
leaflet is only about using
fluconazole for vaginal yeast infections. For information about using
fluconazole for other reasons, ask
your doctor or pharmacist. See the section of this leaflet for
information about vaginal yeast infections.
What Is a Vaginal Yeast Infection?
It is normal for a certain amount of yeast to be found in the vagina.
Sometimes too much yeast starts to
grow in the vagina and this can cause a yeast infection. Vaginal yeast
infections are common. About three
out of every four adult women will have at least one vaginal yeast
infection during their life.
Some medicines and medical conditions can increase your chance of
getting a yeast infection. If you are
pregnant, have diabetes, use birth control pills, or take antibiotics
you may get yeast infections more often
than other women. Personal hygiene and certain types of clothing may
increase your chances of getting a
yeast infection. Ask your doctor for tips on what you can do to help
prevent vaginal yeast infections.
If you get a vaginal yeast infection, you may have any of the
following symptoms:
•
itching
•
a burning feeling when you urinate
•
redness
•
soreness
•
a thick white vaginal discharge t

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 under the plasma
concentration-time curve) are dose
proportional.
The C
and AUC data from a food-effect study involving administration of
fluconazole tablets to
healthy volunteers under fasting conditions and with a high-fat meal
indicated that exposure to the drug
is not affected
