What is Fluconazole?

Fluconazole is a medication used to treat (recurrent) vaginal yeast infections (candida). During menopause, oestrogen levels decrease and fluctuate, making the vaginal mucous membranes more vulnerable to fungal infections. Symptoms may include pain during urination, itching, redness, and swelling, sometimes accompanied by white, clumpy discharge. This medication contains fluconazole, an antifungal agent that inhibits fungal growth, alleviates symptoms, and, when taken as a maintenance dose, prevents recurrent infections. It is a hormone-free medication available only on prescription.

What can you expect from Fluconazole?

When should I use Fluconazole?

For a vaginal yeast infection: It is usually taken as a single dose.

For recurrent yeast infections: Begin with an initial dosage (3 capsules in the first week), followed by 1 capsule weekly for several months (up to a maximum of six months). Always follow your doctor’s prescription at SeeMe-nopause.

The capsule is taken orally. Please note that this medication is effective only for fungal infections and not for other causes of vaginal symptoms.

You should not use this medication if you are (early) pregnant, as it may pose risks to the unborn child.

The package leaflet contains all the information about this product. Ensure you read it before using the medication.

What symptoms indicate the use of Fluconazole?

This medication is used for vaginal yeast infections and associated symptoms such as itching, burning, abnormal discharge, and redness in or around the vagina, or to prevent recurrent vaginal yeast infections.
It can also help with pain during urination and swelling of the genital area caused by the fungal infection.

Do not use Fluconazole if you:

Are allergic to fluconazole or similar medications.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
