F-con is used to treat fungal infections called candidiasis (also
known as thrush or yeast infections). These include vaginal infections,
throat infections, and fungal infections elsewhere in the body, such
as infections of the urinary tract, peritonitis (inflammation of the
lining of the abdomen), and pneumonia. F-con is also prescribed
to guard against candidiasis in some people receiving bone marrow transplants,
and is used to treat meningitis (brain or spinal cord inflammation)
caused by another type of fungus.
In addition, F-con is now being prescribed for fungal infections
in kidney and liver transplant patients, and fungal infections in patients
with AIDS.
How should you take F-con?
You can take F-con with or without meals.
Take F-con exactly as prescribed, and continue taking it for as long
as your doctor instructs. You may begin to feel better after the first
few days; but it takes weeks or even months of treatment to completely
cure certain fungal infections.
