[edit] Apo-Fluconazole

"The efficacy of fluconazole in the treatment of onchomycosis (fungal infection of the nails) has not been demonstrated." I was treated with Apo-Fluconazole for onychomycosis, and it would seem that it works fine. Although I don't have any medical experience, I was wondering if someone would comment on this statement for me. Schnarr 01:48, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I had phimosis and my doctor prscribed Fluconazole as one of the medicines... I am wondering if dealing with a possible fungal infection can stop the preputial ring from forming... please give me some feedback if you have had this problem and how it was solved.. Brian (brianmatambo@gmail.com)

I was surprised by the assertion that it is only very slightly soluble in water. When I used fluconazole in the laboratory it was reasonably soluble in water - and indeed I think this was one of the advantages of fluconazole over ketoconazole.. which IS very sparingly soluble in water. I am certain one can dissolve 5mg/ml of fluconazole in water at room temperature - which is not bad. Phil Scrutinator (talk) 20:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
