How Long Does It Take The Side Effects Of Fluconazole Tablets To Go Away?

I am having a reaction to fluconazole tablets. I took one Tuesday and started feeling sick Wednesday afternoon. I am supposed to take another one this coming Tuesday. My pharmacist said not to if I am feeling better. How long does it take the side effects to go away. Achy all over, dizzy, cold chills, headache some nausea? Thanks

It could be a coincidence in which case the symptoms will last until the underling conditino (often a viral ifnection) goes away. But if it were a drug reaction, an allergic one, it would go away after all traces of the medicine are gone. This takes a couple days and another couple for the area to heal up. About 4-7 days, but the symptoms certainly would peak and be receeding by 4 days if it were the pill. Nausea is really common with a big pill but that lasts only a few hours to maybe one day and food or ant-acid fixes it promptly.
