The use of fluconazole tablets should follow a doctor's advice. Fluconazole tablets are an antifungal medication used to treat complicated and uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis. Fluconazole tablets may cause gastrointestinal adverse reactions; therefore, it is recommended to take them within half an hour after a meal to avoid indigestion. They may also lead to abnormal liver and kidney function, headache, dizziness, and other symptoms. During treatment with fluconazole tablets, regular monitoring of blood counts, liver function, and kidney function is necessary.
