Fluconazole 150mg is an antifungal medicine used to treat vaginal thrush and thrush affecting the penis (balanitis). Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of a yeast called Candida, which can lead to symptoms such as itching, irritation, soreness, redness and unusual discharge. Fluconazole works by killing the fungus responsible for the infection, helping symptoms improve and the infection clear.

What is Fluconazole 150mg and what is it used for?

Yes. Fluconazole is one of the most commonly prescribed and effective treatments for thrush. A single 150mg capsule is often enough to treat uncomplicated infections, and many people notice a significant improvement in symptoms within a few days. Clinical studies have shown high cure rates following a single dose.

Does Fluconazole actually work for thrush?

This is one of the most searched questions online. Fluconazole starts working shortly after you take it, but symptom relief is not usually immediate. Many people begin to notice an improvement within 24 to 72 hours, while the infection itself may take up to 7 days to fully clear.

How long does Fluconazole 150mg take to work?

Most people feel noticeably better within a few days, but complete resolution of symptoms can take up to a week. If your symptoms have not improved after 7 days, or they worsen, you should seek medical advice as another condition may be causing your symptoms.

How long does it take for thrush to go away after taking Fluconazole?

For most uncomplicated cases of vaginal thrush, yes. A single 150mg capsule is the standard treatment and is often all that's needed. However, recurrent or severe infections may require additional treatment or further investigation.

There are several possible reasons. It may not actually be thrush, the infection may be more severe than expected, or you could have recurrent thrush that requires a different treatment approach. Some people also find symptoms take longer to settle completely. If symptoms persist after a week, it's worth speaking to a healthcare professional.

Why is my thrush not going away after taking Fluconazole?

Yes. Fluconazole can be used to treat fungal infections affecting the penis, often known as candidal balanitis. Symptoms may include redness, itching, irritation and soreness around the head of the penis. A single capsule is often sufficient for treatment.

Many healthcare professionals recommend waiting until symptoms have fully cleared before having sex. Sexual activity may irritate already inflamed tissue and could slow recovery. In some cases, thrush can also be passed between sexual partners.

Yes. Some women notice changes in discharge as the infection starts to clear. This can be part of the healing process. As long as symptoms are improving overall, this is usually not a cause for concern. If symptoms worsen or the discharge develops a strong odour, seek medical advice.

Can Fluconazole cause discharge before the thrush clears?

Generic and branded make of a medicine are the same and both makes have to meet the same quality and safety standards before they are allowed to be sold as a medicine. 

All generic medicines that are available in the UK/EU through authorised pharmacies, like My Private Pharmacist, are licensed and genuine medications so they are safe to use as intended. 

What is the difference between brand and generic makes of a medicine?

Recurring thrush is surprisingly common. It may be linked to antibiotics, diabetes, hormonal changes, tight clothing, high-sugar diets, weakened immunity or other underlying factors. If you experience frequent episodes, a healthcare professional may recommend further investigation or longer-term treatment.

A branded make of medicine initially becomes available for sale by the innovating manufacturer that has discovered the medicine through a very expensive process. As a result, this manufacturer receives the right (patent) from the government to become the only company that is allowed to make and sell such medicine for many years so they can recuperate some of their expenses and make some profit from their work.

After the patent period is over, other manufacturers will be allowed to manufacture this branded medicine, but they will only be allowed to offer the medicine under the medicines actual name (known as the Generic name) or through their own new brand for marketing purposes. As this process is not as expensive as the initial medicine discovery, generic manufactures can offer the medicine at a much cheaper price compared to the innovator’s branded one. 

Why is the generic make cheaper than the brand?

Adults aged 16-60 years: Take ONE (150mg) capsule.

Possible side effects associated with Fluconazole use include:

- Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):  headache, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, feeling sick, vomiting, rash 

- Uncommon side effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people): decreased appetite, inability to sleep, feeling drowsy, fit, dizziness, sensation of spinning, tingling, pricking or numbness, changes in sense of taste, constipation, difficult digestion, wind, dry mouth, muscle pain

Please visit the product’s Patient Information Leaflet for a complete list of possible side effects. Note possible means that not everyone will get affected and not all side-effects may appear in one person.

If you experience any side effects, you must stop taking Fluconazole and consult your doctor or pharmacist. You can always contact your pharmacist at My Private Pharmacist during our pharmacy opening hours for further advice. 

In case of any severe and potentially life threatening events, always call 999 and seek urgent medical care.
