FAQ
Which Diflucan strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Diflucan comes as tablets in 50mg, 100mg, 150mg and 200mg. Packs range from 10 to 180 tablets, depending on strength. It is generic fluconazole, not the original Diflucan. Where pack sizes rise, the price per tablet falls.
How is Diflucan delivered to Hong Kong?
Diflucan orders to Hong Kong can use tracked courier, which takes 5 to 9 business days and includes online tracking. Every parcel arrives in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing outside about the contents. If it does not arrive within the delivery window, it is sent again free or refunded.
What other names is fluconazole sold under?
Diflucan is a brand name of fluconazole, which is also sold as Fluka, Forcan and Zocon. Here, fluconazole can be bought online as generic Diflucan, and also as fluconazole tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
How long does Diflucan take to work?
Vaginal thrush usually starts to ease within a few days of the single 150mg tablet, though the itch and discharge can take a little longer to settle. Infections treated with a daily course, such as thrush in the throat, improve over several days rather than overnight.
Is one Diflucan 150mg tablet enough for thrush?
For uncomplicated vaginal thrush, yes: a single 150mg tablet is the usual dose, and most people need nothing more. Thrush that has reached the mouth, throat or oesophagus is treated differently, with a daily course built from the lower strengths over one to several weeks.
How long do I take Diflucan for mouth or throat thrush?
Mouth and throat thrush usually needs a daily course of one to two weeks. When the infection has reached the oesophagus, treatment often runs for about three weeks. Vaginal thrush is different: a single 150mg tablet is normally enough.
Can Diflucan clear a cold or a urine infection?
No. Fluconazole acts only on fungi, so it cannot treat a virus such as a cold or a bacterial infection such as cystitis. Thrush is a yeast overgrowth, which is what these tablets are for; a chest or urine infection needs a different medicine.
About Diflucan
What Diflucan tablets treat
Most people reach for Diflucan because of vaginal thrush: itching, soreness and a thick white discharge caused by Candida yeast. Fluconazole, the medicine in each tablet, also deals with yeast in the mouth, the throat and the oesophagus (the food pipe). It is also used for deeper fungal infections, including ones in the lungs or blood and cryptococcal meningitis (an infection of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord), usually next to other medicines.
Fluconazole is a triazole antifungal. It blocks a step in the building of the fungal cell wall, so the yeast can no longer multiply and the infection clears. Bacteria and viruses are untouched by it, which is why it does nothing for a cold or a chest infection.
Taking the tablets
Swallow a tablet with water; eating beforehand makes no difference. Most uncomplicated vaginal thrush clears with one 150mg tablet. Thrush in the mouth or throat, and infection inside the body, need one tablet daily, for a week or more — often a bigger dose on day one, then smaller ones. Courses run for days or several weeks, and finishing the whole course matters, because partly treated thrush tends to return. Keep the strips away from heat and direct sun.
Side effects
Nausea, tummy pain, loose stools, wind, headache and dizziness are the side effects people report most often, and they tend to settle as the course goes on. A rash may appear. Rarely, fluconazole affects the liver. Jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin), dark urine and pain below the right ribs are the signs. Swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing, needs urgent treatment.
Medicines that interact with fluconazole
Fluconazole is cleared slowly and can push up the blood levels of other medicines. Warfarin, the blood thinner, is the best-known example — bleeding and bruising become more likely. Cholesterol tablets (statins), diabetes medicines such as gliclazide, and some drugs for an irregular heartbeat can build up in the same way, which raises the chance of side effects from them.
Diflucan or plain fluconazole?
This listing is fluconazole under the Diflucan name, in 50mg, 100mg, 150mg and 200mg tablets. The Fluconazole listing is the same medicine labelled by its ingredient, and it adds a 400mg strength kept for serious internal infection. The fluconazole page walks through which strength suits which infection.
