A member asked:

Hi , my doctor prescribed me 150mg fluconazole for 7 days for tinea versicolor is this the correct regimen ? usually it's one dose per x/weeks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

T. versicolor: This is often treated topically with otc meds like lotromin and others. Oral treatment has the advantage of simplicity. A single dose of ketoconazole or five daily doses of itraconazole (sporanox) are two therapies your doctor can prescribe.
