            Cautions

            Hypersensitivity to other azoles

            Use caution in proarrhythmic conditions and renal impairment

            Use extreme caution or avoid in congenital long-QT patients and patients with conditions that increase QT-prolongation risk

            Fluconazole inhibits CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 isoenzymes; coadministration with drugs that are substrates if these isoenzymes may be contraindicated or warrant dosage modifications

            Capsules contain lactose and should not be given to patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption

            Powder for oral suspension contains sucrose and should not be used in patients with hereditary fructose, glucose/galactose malabsorption or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency

            Syrup contains glycerol; may cause headache, stomach upset, and diarrhea

            Hepatotoxicity reported with use; use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment

            Rare exfoliative skin disorders reported; monitor closely if rash develops and discontinue if it progresses

            When driving vehicles or operating machines, it should be taken into account that dizziness or seizures may occasionally occur

            Candida krusei is inherently resistant

            Convenience and efficacy of single dose oral tablet of fluconazole regimen for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections should be weighed against acceptability of higher incidence of drug related adverse events with fluconazole (26%) versus intravaginal agents (16%)

            If drug is used during pregnancy or if patient becomes pregnant while taking the drug, patient should be informed of potential hazard to fetus; effective contraceptive measures should be considered in women of child-bearing potential who are being treated with 400 to 800 mg/day and should continue throughout the treatment period and for approximately 1 week (5 to 6 half-lives) after the final dose

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Single maternal PO dose of 150 mg for vaginal candidiasis

            • Results of a Danish study concludes there is a possible increased risk of miscarriage; women who are pregnant or actively trying to get pregnant should ask their physician about alternative treatments
            • Spontaneous abortion between 7 and 22 weeks' gestation occurred significantly more often in women exposed to oral fluconazole than unexposed pregnancies (4.43% vs. 4.25%; hazard ratio, 1.48); fluconazole was also compared with intravaginal azole antifungals to account for confounding by candidiasis, again, the oral drug was associated with significantly increased risk for spontaneous abortion - JAMA. 2016;315(1):58-67
            • CDC guidelines recommend only using topical antifungal products to treat pregnant women with vulvovaginal yeast infections, including for longer periods than usual if these infections persist or recur

            All other indications

            • Use in pregnancy should be avoided except in patients with severe or potentially life-threatening fungal infections in whom fluconazole may be used if the anticipated benefit outweighs the possible risk to the fetus
            • A few published case reports describe a rare pattern of distinct congenital anomalies in infants exposed in-utero to high dose maternal fluconazole (400-800 mg/day) during most or all of the first trimester
            • Effective contraceptive measures should be considered in women of child-bearing potential who are being treated with 400-800 mg/day and should continue throughout the treatment period and for approximately 1 week (5 to 6 half-lives) after the final dose
            • Reported anomalies are similar to those seen in animal studies and consist of brachycephaly, abnormal facies, abnormal calvarial development, cleft palate, femoral bowing, thin ribs and long bones, arthrogryposis, and congenital heart disease

            Lactation

            Secreted in human milk at concentrations similar to maternal plasma concentrations; use caution (AAP Committee states "compatible with nursing")

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.
