FLUCONAZOLE

Fluconazole is a medication primarily used to treat fungal infections. It is a member of the triazole class of antifungal drugs and is sold under the brand name Diflucan. This medication is available in various forms, including oral tablets, suspension, and intravenous solutions, and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in both adults and children.

Fluconazole works by inhibiting the growth and formation of fungal cell walls. This disrupts the cellular integrity of fungal organisms, which makes them more susceptible to destruction by the body's immune system. As a result, fluconazole is especially effective in treating infections caused by Candida, which is a type of yeast commonly found in the human body.

One of the most common uses of fluconazole is in the treatment of vaginal yeast infections, also known as candidiasis. These infections occur when there is an overgrowth of Candida in the vaginal area, leading to symptoms such as itching, burning, and discharge. Fluconazole is highly effective in treating these infections, with studies showing that a single 150mg dose can lead to symptom resolution in up to 80-90% of cases.
