How to use Diflucan Solution:


Use Diflucan Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Diflucan Solution is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic.

Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.

  • Do not use Diflucan Solution if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.

  • To clear up your infection completely, use Diflucan Solution for the full course of treatment. Keep using it even if you feel better in a few days. Do not miss any doses.

  • Diflucan Solution works best if it is taken at the same time each day.

  • Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Diflucan Solution.



Important safety information:

  • Diflucan Solution has been known to cause rare cases of serious liver damage, including death, mainly in patients with serious medical conditions.

This type of liver damage may or may not be reversible when Diflucan Solution is stopped. Contact your doctor right away if you experience dark urine, loss of appetite, pale stools, severe stomach pain, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

  • If your symptoms do not get better within a few days or if they get worse, check with your doctor.

  • Diflucan Solution only works against fungi; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold) or bacterial infections.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Diflucan Solution before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

  • Be sure to use Diflucan Solution for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The fungus could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.

  • If you develop a rash while you take Diflucan Solution, contact your doctor.

  • Long-term or repeated use of Diflucan Solution may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.

  • Lab tests, including liver and kidney function, may be performed while you use Diflucan Solution. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Use Diflucan Solution with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Diflucan Solution may cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor.
