Diflucan (fluconazole) typically requires a single dose of 150mg for treating tinea versicolor. However, some cases may need a longer course.
For stubborn or recurring infections, your doctor might prescribe a daily dose of 50-100mg for 2-4 weeks. This longer treatment duration ensures complete eradication of the fungus.
- Important Note: Dosage and treatment length are individualized and depend on your specific case, the severity of your infection, and your doctor’s assessment.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Don’t adjust your dosage or stop treatment prematurely, even if your symptoms improve. Doing so might lead to relapse.
Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any side effects. Complete the entire course of medication to prevent recurrence. Be aware that it might take several weeks for the discoloration to fully disappear, even after successful treatment.
Your doctor will monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. Open communication with your physician is key for optimal outcomes.
