There are w few things that you are supposed to know about Diflucan – and these things may be important for the success of your treatment. Never hesitate to ask your doctor questions about your Diflucan treatment, as that way you will be able to get as many benefits of it as possible. You must never use Diflucan if you are using any of the following medications: cisapride, aldosterone blockers, astemizole, serotonin receptor agonists, ergot alkaloids, terfenadine, pimozide, or erythromycin, as interactions have been reported. Drug interactions can make your treatment less efficient and alter the effects of the medicine you are taking. The drugs mentioned are not supposed to be combined with Diflucan if you want to get rid of your infection once and for all. If you are currently taking any of the drugs mentioned, your doctor will need to decide what your actions should be – whether you need to temporarily discontinue the use of the medicines mentioned, take Diflucan in some way that will not cause interactions or wait until you are done with your previous treatment. There are different variants every time, and your doctor will base his decision on your individual case. Tell your health care provider if you have any medical conditions that may potentially interfere with the success of your treatment. There are some medical conditions that can make it impossible for you to use Diflucan or you will need to have some additional tests done to see if you are going to benefit for the treatment. In other cases your doctor will need to monitor your condition for any side effects making sure Diflucan is not causing any serious health effects that could be avoided. The following medial conditions are especially important to mention: allergies to medicines, weakened immune system, kidney or liver disease, irregular heartbeat, breast-feeding, and pregnancy. This medicine can pass into breast milk but it is not known for sure whether it can harm an unborn baby. Therefore, you will need to discuss your treatment with your doctor – if you are about to give birth to your child, your health care provider may recommend waiting for just a bit before you will be able to take Diflucan. However, you may be recommended to avoid breastfeeding to prevent Diflucan from affecting the health of your baby. Some drugs you are using are likely to interfere with the effects of Diflucan and therefore need to be reported to your doctor. The following ones are very important to mention: muscarinic antagonists, theophylline, proton pump inhibitors, hydantoins, macrolide immunosuppressants, aldosterone blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, macrolide antibiotics, rifampin, ergot alkaloids, methadone, narcotics, terfenadine, quinolones, pimozide, amiodarone, anticoagulants, rifabutin, and reductase inhibitors.
