Candida albicans is a constant inhabitant  of the mucous lining on the skin, internal and genitals. However, infection occurs in the case of candida disbalance. The most common causes of vaginal candidiasis(thrush) are changes in vagina acidity or hormonal disorders. In this case Candida infection may begin multiply causing pathogenic processes. Women with vaginal thrush complain on vaginal burning or itching , “cottage cheese-like” vaginal discharge with sourish smell are common as well.  However, vaginal thrush is not a doom. Many up-to-date antifungal remedies  are able to manage candida infections without causing severe side effects.

Diflucan manufactured and discovered by Pfizer became one of the most prescribed antifungal medications for the recent years. Diflucan is a brand name of the active ingredient fluconazole. Each Diflucan capsule contains 50,  100, 150 and 200mg of fluconazole. Each pack with 50-100 mg of fluconazole contains 7 or 28 capsules, however packs with 150-200 mg contain only 1 capsule. Besides active ingredient, capsules involve additional neutral substances- lactose, corn starch, colloidal silicon dioxid, megnesium stearatis, Diflucan is also available in the form of powder for suspension preparation.

Therapeutic action of Diflucan is determined by fluconazole that acts on fungal cells, increasing cellular permeability and disturbing the growth and replication. Fluconazole penetrates into all biological fluids, possessing a broad spectrum of antimycotic activity. The medication is metabolized in the liver and excreted with urine, nearly 80% in native state. Good pharmacokinetic indexes of Diflucan determine a broad spectrum of clinical use. Diflucan is effective in:

  • Cryptococcosis

  • Mycosis of the skin
  • Deep endemic mycosis

Appropriate application of Diflucan according to doctor’s prescription will lead to desired therapeutic effect and lack of significant side effects.

Cipro use can lead to super-anthrax

Jul.26, 2010

The massive use of antibiotics against anthrax can lead to emergence of super-virus, a strain of anthrax that is resistant to treatment with currently known remedies.

The U.S. government, in order to prevent an epidemic of anthrax, purchased in large quantities antibiotic Cipro (ciprofloxacin). Tens of thousands of U.S. citizens take this medicine as a preventive treatment. However, unjustified administration of powerful antibiotics develops “immunity” in many pathogenic viruses, and the same could happen with anthrax. In addition, under such conditions increases the likelihood of the possibility of purposeful development of a form of anthrax resistant to medicines that threatens a catastrophe.
