Fluconazole enters into breast milk in small levels; however, it is usually safe to take for a short time while breastfeeding.
Expert advice:
Do not take more Fluka than the doctor tells you to.
Even if your symptoms get better quickly, you should finish the whole course.
Tell your doctor if you have problems with your liver, kidneys, or heart.
If you experience symptoms like fatigue, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, let your doctor know. These could be signs of liver problems.
If you have a vaginal infection, keep your body clean and wear loose-fitting cotton garments.

How to use:
Take the pill as your doctor tells you to. For vaginal yeast infections, the treatment is normally a single dose of 150 mg. It might take longer for other fungal infections.
Do not crush or chew. Just swallow it whole with water.
You can take it with or without food.
For courses with more than one dose, take it at the same time every day.
As soon as you recall, take the dose you missed. If it's near the time for your next dose, please skip the missed one and avoid taking two doses.
Finish the whole course, even if you start to feel better right away.
How it works:
Fluconazole, which is an azole antifungal, is in the Fluka 150 mg Tablet.
It stops an enzyme (lanosterol 14α-demethylase) that is necessary for the production of ergosterol, which is a critical part of the fungal cell membrane.
The fungal cell membrane becomes weak and leaky without ergosterol, which kills the fungus and clears the illness.
