The standard Diflucan (fluconazole) dose for a vaginal yeast infection is a single 150 mg oral dose. This is often sufficient to clear the infection.
For recurrent yeast infections or more severe cases, your doctor might prescribe a longer course of treatment. This could involve taking 150 mg once weekly for several weeks, or a daily dose of 50-100 mg for 7-14 days. The specific dosage and duration depend entirely on your individual health and the severity of your infection.
Diflucan is also used to treat other types of yeast infections, such as oral thrush or infections affecting other parts of the body. Dosage in these cases will vary significantly. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding the prescribed dosage, frequency, and duration of treatment. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician.
If your symptoms don’t improve after finishing your prescribed course of Diflucan, or if they worsen, it’s crucial to contact your doctor promptly for further evaluation and a potential adjustment to your treatment plan. They may need to perform additional tests to confirm the diagnosis and/or consider alternative medications.
