Before taking fluconazole

Before taking fluconazole make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows:

* If you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breast-feeding.

* If you suffer with kidney or liver problems.

* If you have heart rhythm problems.

* If you are taking any other medicines, including those available to buy without a prescription, herbal or complementary medicines.

How to take fluconazole

* Take your medication exactly as directed by your doctor.

* Fluconazole is often prescribed as a single dose to treat thrush.

* If you have been prescribed more than the single dose of fluconazole, you must complete the prescribed course.

* If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember and continue taking it at the usual times. If it is nearly time for your next dose, leave out the missed dose. Never take two doses at the same time to make up. If in doubt speak to your pharmacist or doctor. Getting the most from your treatment

* If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, or they get worse, check with your pharmacist or doctor.

* Keep your regular doctor's appointments, as you may need to have blood tests if you are taking fluconazole for more than one month.
