The FDA approved the first oral fluconazole drug (Fazacort) for the treatment of fungal skin infections in adults and children over the age of six years, in a significant breakthrough for the agency.
The drug, diflucan, is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and marketed as a prescription drug under the brand name fluconazole. It is available in 150 mg, 150 mg, and 100 mg capsules for adults and children over the age of six. The medication is available in a liquid form and can be taken with or without food, although the dosage is not guaranteed to be as high as recommended.
The FDA approval is expected to make diflucan available for more than two years. But there is currently no data to show that diflucan could be more effective than fluconazole for the treatment of fungal skin infections.
The drug's manufacturers announced in November that they have filed a petition to block the drug from being available to millions of Americans, and have already taken legal action in state courts against the company. The petition will be filed on or before the end of the second quarter of this year.
FDA spokeswoman Sarah Berman said: "We have been working with the drug manufacturers to stop this from becoming a public health concern. We are committed to ensuring that the company does not abuse its position on the matter."
She added that the FDA's decision to approve diflucan was "the first step toward ensuring that there is not any harm to the public."
But she said that the approval by the FDA of diflucan as a treatment for fungal skin infections in adults and children over the age of six is likely to be in the works.
"The drug has been approved by the FDA in the U. S. and is available in 150 mg, 150 mg, and 100 mg capsules for adults and children," according to FDA's.
The FDA approval was for a new treatment for bladder and bladder stones in children. The drug was approved for the treatment of fungal infections in children over the age of six years.
