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.

The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) is the leaflet included in the pack with a medicine and must be read before taking the medicine. It is written for patients and gives information about taking or using a medicine.
During the mid 1990s, a patient who took fluconazole became seriously ill with thrush. He experienced a sharp onset of flu-like symptoms, and was seen by a specialist, but was discovered to be totally unwell by ambulance. The patient's GP contacted an unknown pharmacy, and she was advised to stop taking fluconazole with fluconazole.
The patient was rushed to an alternative pharmacy, where he was pronounced unwell. The next day, a team of doctors from around the world rushed the patient to hospital, where they were found to be suffering from thrush. They died shortly after.
The patient's story is given in the information leaflet that appears in the medicine guidebook. He was reported to have died just a few days after his treatment had been stopped.
The patient's condition was monitored closely at the emergency department, where he was seen by the specialist. He was prescribed a single dose of 150mg of fluconazole just before his death, and was observed to lose significant white patches in his body.
