Indicações terapêuticas:

Fluconazole is indicated for the treatment of: - Vaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast infections due to Candida ). - Oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis. In open noncomparative studies of relatively small numbers of patients, fluconazole was also effective for the treatment of Candida urinary tract infections, peritonitis, and systemic Candida infections including candidemia, disseminated candidiasis, and pneumonia. - Cryptococcal meningitis. Before prescribing fluconazole for AIDS patients with cryptococcal meningitis, please see CLINICAL STUDIES section. Studies comparing fluconazole to amphotericin B in non-HIV infected patients have not been conducted. Prophylaxis. Fluconazole is also indicated to decrease the incidence of candidiasis in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation who receive cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Specimens for fungal culture and other relevant laboratory studies (serology, histopathology) should be obtained prior to therapy to isolate and identify

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 306.3. The structural
formula is:
Fluconazole is a white crystalline solid which is slightly soluble in
water and saline.
Fluconazole tablets contain 50, 100, 150, or 200 mg of fluconazole and

anhydrous, FD&C Red No. 40
aluminum lake dye, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and
povidone.
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.
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 - 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 μg/mL (range: 4.12 to 8.08 μg/mL) and after single oral
doses of 50 - 400 mg,
fluconazole plasma concentrations and AUC (area under the plasma
concentration-time curve) are dose
proportional.
Administration of a single oral 150 mg tablet of fluconazole to ten
lactating women resulted in a mean
C
of 2.61 μg/mL (range: 1.57 to 3.65 μg/mL).
Steady-state concentrations are reached within 5 - 10 days following
oral doses of 50 - 400 mg given

usual daily dose results in plasma
concentrations close to steady-state by the second day.
