What this medicine is for

Treatment of cryptococcal meningitis in patients who are unable to tolerate amphotericin B.. NOTE: Data suggest that the clinical efficacy of fluconazole is lower than that of amphotericin B in the treatment of the acute phase of cryptococcal meningitis.. 2. Maintenance therapy to prevent relapse of cryptococcal meningitis in patients with AIDS.. 3. Treatment of oropharyngeal and oesophageal candidiasis in AIDS and other immunosuppressed patients.. 4. Secondary prophylaxis of oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with HIV infection.. 5. Serious and life-threatening Candida infections in patients who are unable to tolerate amphotericin B..
