Thrush is a fungal infection, commonly caused by a type of yeast called candida. Although candida is naturally present in the body, an imbalance can trigger thrush symptoms. Fluconazole 150mg (also known as Diflucan and other brand names) kills certain types of fungi and restores your body's natural balance.
Fluconazole treatment for thrush is simple - just one capsule to be swallowed with a glass of water. You can take this medicine at any time of day, with or without a meal.
Women taking fluconazole should see an improvement within a few days. Some women will notice improvement in 24 hours.
For men, the condition can take a little longer to clear up. The symptoms should clear up within a few days, although this can take up to a week.
If your condition hasn't cleared up within one week, you should consult a doctor.
Thrush is an infection which can occur without sexual contact, so it is not a sexually transmitted disease. However, the infection can be passed on during sex, so it is recommended that you should not have sex until the infection has cleared up.
If you regularly suffer from thrush, then it's advisable that both you and your partner have thrush treatment at the same time.
Taking too much can make you unwell, so contact your doctor or nearest hospital immediately if you take more than you should.
As with any medicine, there are side effects. Although a serious allergic reaction to fluconazole is rare. Common side effects (occurring in one in ten patients) include nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, wind, rash and headache.

Thrush is a common infection which causes thrush. When a man is sexually stimulated, his body releases a substance called fungi. This triggers a reaction in the fungi which then leads to the growth of thrush. The infection can be passed on through sex, so it is recommended that you and your partner must have this treatment at the same time.
Thrush is not recommended if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the treatment, or if you are taking other medications, or if you are having sex with a woman.
However, if you are having sex with a man, you should avoid fluconazole with some foods, such as grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or alcohol, since these substances can react with it and cause an allergic reaction. This includes tight clothing, especially if you are in a hurry to have sex.
