I recently was given Fluconazole via intravenous injection for a serious fungal infection. Its not something I ever imagined I would need, but I've been on the receiving end of 200ml doses to combat these infections in my blood and brain. The doctors explained that it stops fungal growth, which sounds pretty intense, just as it feels. They also warned me about the potential side effects, which range from really mild stuff like headaches to really scary stuff like seizures. I've had some mild stomach discomfort but nothing too bad. I've seen some reddish discoloration in my urine too, but my doctor says it's normal and probably nothing to worry about, even though the list of troublesome symptoms includes dark urine. The information provided by the pharmacy was intimidating, so I'm curious to hear if anybody else has experience with this medication and has any tips, tricks, or warnings to share.
