Diflucan
Description
What is Diflucan?
Diflucan is an antifungal medication that can be used to treat multiple types of fungus. It is most commonly prescribed to treat the yeast infection called candida, also known as thrush.
How does it work?
Diflucan works by killing the fungus that is causing the infection and uncomfortable symptoms. This medication works to kill the fungus by making holes in the membrane of its cells so that the contents leak out. It may also be prescribed as a preventative measure to stop you getting a fungal infection.
Is Diflucan suitable for me?
This medication is suitable for most adults and children to use. However, you should inform your healthcare practitioner before you begin this medication if you have had an allergic reaction to fluconazole or any other medicines in the past, if you have heart disease, arrhythmia, kidney or liver problems or have abnormal levels of potassium, calcium or magnesium in your blood.
