One of my freind consulted hsi skin doctor for hair dandruff issue at head and the fungal irritation. Doctor gave fluconazole tablets, scalpe shampoo, and two oilments for skin to apply at monring and night. Is this fluconazole is common for both the disease or only for fungal problem??? If this fluconazole is for fungal problems only, what about feeding ladies to take this tablet??? whether it will affect the child health?
How about fluconazole tablets (for fungal problems) for feeding women? Whether it will affect child?

Fluconazole passes through breast milk in humans. The manufacturer suggests that breastfeeding women should take this medication with caution. However, other sources suggest that Fluconazole might be an acceptable choice during breastfeeding. Therefore, if you are breastfeeding, you should talk with your doc before taking this drug.
