Diflucan is also used to prevent fungal infections from occurring in people with suppressed immune systems such as cancer chemotherapy patients, organ transplant patients, and AIDS patients. Diflucan may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.

Possible Side Effects
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Diflucan and seek emergency medical attention or notify your doctor immediately: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); liver damage (pale stools, yellowish skin or eyes, abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, or dark urine); or a rash. Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.

Precautions
Do not take Diflucan if you are taking cisapride (Propulsid). Combined with cisapride (Propulsid), Diflucan could cause serious, even fatal, heart problems. In rare cases, Diflucan has caused severe liver damage, sometimes resulting in death. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, yellow skin or eyes, itching, dark urine, or clay colored stools. These symptoms may be early signs of liver damage. In rare cases, Diflucan has also caused severe skin rash, sometimes resulting in death. Notify your doctor immediately fi you develop a rash while taking Diflucan. Take all of the Diflucan that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may begin to improve before the infection is completely treated.
