Diflu 50mg Capsule

✔️ How to Take Diflu 50

• Take Diflu 50 exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• It can generally be taken with or without food.

• Avoid taking antacids close to your dose unless your pharmacist confirms that they are appropriate with your specific product.

✔️ Drug Interactions

Fluconazole can interact with several medicines and may increase their effects or side-effect risks. Important examples include:

• Diabetes medicines: Some sulfonylureas, such as glipizide, glyburide, and tolbutamide, may increase the risk of low blood sugar.
• Anticoagulants: Warfarin may have an increased effect, raising the risk of bleeding.
• Anticonvulsants: Phenytoin levels may increase.
• Immunosuppressants: Tacrolimus and ciclosporin levels may rise, potentially increasing toxicity.
• Sedatives: Certain benzodiazepines, including midazolam, may have stronger or prolonged effects.
• Other medicines: Theophylline, rifabutin, rifampicin, and some medicines that affect heart rhythm may require particular attention.

✔️ Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Oral fluconazole should generally be avoided during pregnancy for vaginal yeast infections; topical antifungal treatment is usually preferred. Oral fluconazole during pregnancy has been associated with a possible increased risk of miscarriage, and prolonged or high-dose exposure may pose additional risks to the developing fetus.

If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or could become pregnant, consult your doctor before taking Diflu 50. Do not rely on contraception advice alone as a substitute for assessing whether the medicine is appropriate.

Fluconazole passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor to determine whether treatment is suitable while breastfeeding, considering the dose, duration, and the baby's condition.
