A member asked:
I took diflucan (fluconazole) for 14 days..thrush from antibiotics. how long does it stay in your system after last dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
~6 days: Half-life of fluconazole is 30hrs (range 20-50hrs). Check out http://www.drugs.com/pro/diflucan.html. Medications are considered to be out of body after 5 half-lives or in this case 150hrs or 6+days, assuming 30hrs. Of course, this is affected by your kidney function, in which it could stay in your body longer or be broken down more quickly in less time. Most important is resolving infection
