Diflucan (fluconazole) treats various yeast infections beyond vaginal ones. Dosage depends on the specific infection site and severity. For oral thrush (candidiasis), adults typically take a single 150 mg dose. Children’s dosages vary significantly based on weight and should be determined by a doctor.
Esophageal Candidiasis
For esophageal candidiasis, the usual adult dose is 200 mg once daily for 7-14 days. Your physician will adjust the treatment duration depending on your response.
Other Non-Vaginal Infections
For other non-vaginal yeast infections like skin or nail infections, the dosage will differ. A doctor will prescribe the correct dosage based on the infection’s location, extent, and your overall health. They will consider factors such as your kidney function and other medications you take. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely for best results. Self-treating can be risky and may lead to treatment failure or complications. Consult your doctor for diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
