Hello! I have a question: if the drug is in capsules, can I swallow it while sprinkling the powder? I take Flumycon and my stomach and head ache after it. When I took it without the capsule, mixing the powder with water, I did not have these symptoms. However, I am not sure that this is not reducing the effect of the drug. Jowita
Hello, You should always use medications as prescribed by your doctor in the forms provided by the manufacturer. If the medicine is in the form of a capsule, it should be used in capsules, not as a powder poured from the inside of the capsules. Changing the form of the drug can certainly change its effects on the body - because the conditions in which the drug is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract are changed. The symptoms you mention - stomach pains and headaches - may occur during treatment with this drug and are rather related to the action of the so-called active substance called fluconazole (the name Flumycon is the so-called brand name given by the drug manufacturer). Regards.
