Generic Diflucan (Fluconazole) is orally administered either as a tablet or as a powder for oral suspension. The tablets are generally available in 50, 100, 150, or 200 mg of Fluconazole. You can take these pills with or without food, once a day or as prescribed your physician. Taking the pill at the same time every day allows the medicine to be maintained at a constant level in your body.

The dosage of generic Diflucan is usually determined by the type of infection you’re treating, your present medical condition and the response to the treatment. While vaginal infections are treated with a solitary pill most of the time, you may have to take the first dose as a double dose for all other infections. Continue Fluconazole till the full length of the treatment in order to gain improved results. It does not make sense to stop the treatment if your infection symptoms fade away after a few days. There is every possibility of fungus or yeast continuing to grow and the infections to resurface. Inform your doctor if there is no improvement in your condition. Comply with your doctor’s directions cautiously.

It would be an unwise thing to take two doses at the same time.
