Who Can And Cannot Take Fluconazole

Who can take fluconazole

Most adults and children aged 16 years old or over can take fluconazole for vaginal thrush or balanitis.

Younger children, and people aged 16 years old and over who need it for other conditions, can take it if it's prescribed by a doctor.

Fluconazole is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell a pharmacist or your doctor before taking it if you have:

ever had an allergic reaction to fluconazole or any other medicine
a heart condition, including heart rhythm problems (arrhythmia)
kidney or liver problems
a rare, inherited blood disorder called acute porphyria
had a blood test that showed you have abnormal levels of potassium, calcium or magnesium
