Fluconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that is used to treat fungal infections caused by certain types of fungus, including dermatophytes (athletes, ringworm), yeasts (candidiasis), and others.
For most patients, the oral administration of fluconazole has been shown to be successful in clearing up lesions caused by these fungi. It is also effective in the treatment of systemic fungal infections, particularly those caused by dermatophytes, which include fungal infections of the skin and nails, as well as other conditions, such as psoriasis.
Fluconazole is a weak inhibitor of squalene epoxidase, an enzyme that converts lanosterol into ergosterol. This leads to a reduction in the amount of lanosterol that is produced in the skin, leading to a decrease in the activity of squalene epoxidase. Therefore, Fluconazole is capable of disrupting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, thereby lowering the activity of squalene epoxidase and consequently decreasing the amount of lanosterol produced by the skin.
The recommended dosage of fluconazole for the treatment of fluconazole-induced dermatitis is 10 mg orally once a day, divided into three doses each day. For most patients, the recommended dosage is 10 mg, which should be given as a single dose. The duration of treatment depends on the type of dermatophyte infection and the severity of the condition.
Dosages vary depending on the type of infection and the response to the medication. The usual starting dose is 10 mg, taken once a day.
For patients with an active or latent infection, the usual recommended dosage is 10 mg given once a day. The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection and the response to the medication.
Fluconazole is not recommended for the treatment of fungal infections in adults and children who are at least 6 months old. It is also not recommended for patients with a history of liver disease or who have had a previous reaction to fluconazole.
Fluconazole can cause side effects in some patients. These side effects may be mild and may disappear after discontinuing fluconazole. It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms during your treatment with fluconazole.
Fluconazole has a high affinity for the 30S ribosomal subunit, which is necessary for the synthesis of ergosterol in fungi.
Fluconazole, like most antifungal medications, can inhibit the activity of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 enzyme, which is a major component of this enzyme family. The presence of a strong inhibitor of this enzyme may lead to a decrease in the efficacy of the medication and consequently the incidence of adverse reactions.
Additionally, the effects of fluconazole in the treatment of fungal infections depend on the presence of a fungal cell membrane that is susceptible to its action.
