\n \nThe daily dose of DIFLU should be based on the nature and severity of the fungal infection. Most cases of the fungal infections require multiple dose therapy. Treatment should be continued until clinical parameters of laboratory tests indicate that active fungal infection has subsided. An inadequate period of treatment may lead to recurrence of active infection. Immunocompromised patients usually require maintenance therapy to prevent relapse. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
