Diflucan, while effective against toenail fungus, can cause side effects. These vary in severity and frequency. Common side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain. These usually are mild and resolve without treatment. However, report persistent or worsening symptoms to your doctor.
Less Common but Serious Side Effects
Less frequently, but importantly, Diflucan can cause liver problems. Symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), dark urine, or unusual fatigue need immediate medical attention. Allergic reactions, including skin rash or itching, are also possible. In rare cases, Diflucan can affect the heart rhythm. If you experience chest pain or palpitations, seek medical advice immediately.
Before starting Diflucan, discuss your medical history, including liver conditions, heart problems, or allergies, with your doctor. This allows for informed decision-making and appropriate monitoring during treatment. Regularly scheduled check-ups can help detect potential problems early. Remember to inform your doctor of any new or worsening symptoms while taking Diflucan.
