Ancobon Dosage
Generic name: Flucytosine 250mg
Dosage form: capsule
Drug class: Miscellaneous antifungals
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Jan 23, 2025.
The usual dosage of ANCOBON is 50 to 150 mg/kg/day administered in divided doses at 6-hour intervals. Nausea or vomiting may be reduced or avoided if the capsules are given a few at a time over a 15-minute period. If the BUN or the serum creatinine is elevated, or if there are other signs of renal impairment, the initial dose should be at the lower level (see WARNINGS).
ANCOBON should be used in combination with amphotericin B for the treatment of systemic candidiasis and cryptococcosis because of the emergence of resistance to ANCOBON (see MICROBIOLOGY).
