It is generally accepted that Mikomax is an antifungal drug for treating thrush in women. Undoubtedly, there is some truth in this. Usually, for the treatment of female candidiasis (as doctors call it thrush), gynecologists prescribe a single dose of Mikomaks. The instructions for the drug contain more detailed information about this medicine.
From it you can learn that Mikomax, whose medicinal substance is fluconazole, actively destroys and inhibits the growth of a number of microorganisms. These include Histoplasma capsulatum, Candida spp., Coccidioides immitis, Cryptococcus neoformans, and many other species.
As medical practice shows, these organisms can cause disease not only in women, but also in men, who are often carriers of the same thrush. And we are not talking about licentiousness or sloppiness. A woman can become infected with candidiasis through infected objects, through the intestines. Sometimes the disease occurs even in the complete absence of sexual activity, if a woman's immunity is weakened. Naturally, during sexual contact, candida is transmitted from partner to partner. That is why, for the treatment of thrush, doctors prescribe medicine not only for women, but also choose the right dose of Mikomax for men.
It should be noted that, despite the fact that one tablet is often enough for both men and women to get rid of candidiasis, sometimes there is a need to increase the dose. That is why the dosage of the Mikomax medicine, the instruction also insists on this, should be selected by the doctor.
However, this medicine is effective not only for the treatment of fungal infections. "Mikomax", the manual contains detailed information about this, it is recommended:
· For the treatment of infections caused by cryptococcus. Typically, the course of taking the tablets lasts about two months
· In order to prevent re- cryptococcal meningitis affecting AIDS patients. In this case, the treatment lasts several months.
· For the prevention and treatment of candidiasis of the genital organs, oral cavity or pharynx, damage to the broncho - pulmonary system. In this case, treatment with the Mikomax preparation, the instruction informs about this, you can start before the results of seeding (analysis) are obtained. According to their results, the therapeutic dose and duration of the course will be selected. Treatment may take from one day to several weeks.
· For the prevention of all types of fungal infections in cancer patients and patients with benign neoplasms.
"Mikomaks", the instruction warns, it can be prescribed to children or elderly patients. In this case, doctors should carefully select the dosage.
Observations of patients taking this medicine showed that with an overdose of Mikomax, vomiting, nausea, hallucinations, and paranoid behavior may develop. In this case, it is urgent to go to a clinic that can cleanse the body with hemodialysis and carry out symptomatic treatment.
However, even with the right dosage, unpleasant side reactions can occur. This is dyspepsia, dizziness, impaired liver function, diarrhea, vomiting. Sometimes, though very rarely, allergic reactions occur, convulsions, arrhythmia appear, and malfunctions in the hematopoietic system occur.
Naturally, with the appearance of such symptoms, the drug is canceled.
"Mikomax", the instruction warns, is contraindicated in pregnant women, "renal" and "liver" patients.
