Disease description:
Due to recent onset of lower back pain, fluconazole is being administered via intravenous infusion. Can fluconazole be given by intravenous push?
Fluconazole can be administered intravenously. The daily dose should be determined according to the nature and severity of the fungal infection. For patients requiring multiple-dose treatment, therapy should continue until clinical signs or laboratory findings indicate that the acute infection has resolved. Inadequate duration of treatment may lead to recurrence of the acute infection. However, the specific method of intravenous administration and dosage must be followed according to medical guidance; patients should go to the hospital and follow their doctor's instructions for medication use.
