Diflucan … side effects !!!?
Help ! I´m taking diflucan for a nail infection. Treatment consists in 150 mgs once a week,for 8-12 weeks. I´m on my week 6, but have just discovered a little yellow spots on my eyes. Question: should I discontinue the treatment or can I continue and this will dissapear once treatment concludes???
thx 
Time to call the doctor as this is listed as a serious side effect and may be indicative of some liver implications. In fact, call the doctors answering service and request that he calls you back. Then, you ought to be prepared to go to the ER. Good Luck
Spots on your eyes or eyelids? SIze- pinhead, smaller, larger? Usual side effects are occas. nausea. Serious ones include liver dysfunction – best detected by lab tests. Occas. can cause high cholesterol, which in turn can cause xanthomas- which are little fatty deposits on the eyelid. They don’t usually go away. You can have xanthomas unrelated to Diflucan. Does anyone in your family have them?
Your dose will depend on the infection you are treating. Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
= Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
= Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
+ nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
+ fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
+ severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash;
+ easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness; or
+ seizure (convulsions)
= Less serious side effects may be more likely to occur, such as:
+ mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or upset stomach;
+ headache;
+ dizziness;
+ unusual or unpleasant taste in your mouth; or
+ skin rash or itching.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Call your doctor now, bz YELLOWING OF THE EYES IS A SIDE EFFECT.
Good luck’
