Antifungal medication Diflucan is taken by mouth and works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. Tablets and an oral suspension are both possible forms of this medication. The fluconazole in Diflucan is the active component, and it is a member of a class of antifungal drugs called triazole antifungal agents. It is linked to clotrimazole (Lotrimin), miconazole (Micatin), ketoconazole (Nizoral), and itraconazole (Sporanox) (Sporanox).
The antifungal medication fluconazole works by stopping the development of membranes surrounding fungal cells, which in turn stops the growth of fungus. It is effective against fungal infections produced by Candida in all areas of the body, including the lungs, mouth, blood, throat, and the genital area, among other places. Fluconazole is a common medication that is used to treat vaginal thrush, which is a yeast infection caused by an excess of Candida. Individuals who have a compromised immune system as a result of chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, or disorders that impact the immune system, such as AIDS, may benefit from taking Diflucan as a prophylactic measure (one that prevents disease) in addition to its other uses. Because their immune systems are unable to effectively combat disease-causing microorganisms, people with this condition are more likely to get internal fungal infections. Prophylaxis using antifungal medications, such as Diflucan, is required in order to reduce the risk of developing an internal fungal infection due to the hazards connected with such infections. Diflucan has also been shown to be effective against Candida-related urinary tract infections (UTIs), as well as pneumonia and peritonitis. In addition to that, the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis may also be accomplished with the help of this medication.
Children as well as adults are able to use the antifungal medication Diflucan. When administered in a manner that maintains a steady level of drug presence throughout the course of therapy, it demonstrates the greatest degree of efficacy. As a result, it need to be consumed at the same time of day each and every day. It is possible to take it either before or after a meal. Certain illnesses, such as vaginal yeast infections, can be treated well with a single dose of 150 milligrams of the medication, while other disorders may call for a complete course of therapy that lasts for many weeks. In most cases, a single dose of diflucan is used daily. Even after all of the symptoms have subsided, it is important to finish the full course of Diflucan that was prescribed in order to prevent the infection from returning.
Pfizer Limited is the manufacturer of the drug known as Diflucan. Azocan and Canesten Oral are both examples of different brand names for fluconazole. There are 150 mg and 200 mg hard capsules available of the medication Diflucan. The necessary quantity of medication differs according to the ailment that is being treated. The body of the Diflucan 150 mg capsules is blue, while the cap is turquoise. On the cap, the word "Pfizer" and the code "FLU-150" are printed. The body of the Diflucan 200 mg capsules is white, while the cap is purple. On the cap, the word "Pfizer" and the code "FLU-200" are printed.
