Medical Overview
Diflucan is listed as Antiviral / Antifungal containing Fluconazole. A medicine used according to its active ingredient, dosage form, and the patient’s condition.
Diflucan (fluconazole) is the famous single 150mg capsule for vaginal thrush — plus oral/esophageal candidiasis and systemic infections at higher regimens. Its ease masks real CYP interactions (warfarin, sulfonylureas, simvastatin) and a strict pregnancy caution (high/prolonged doses teratogenic; prefer topicals in T1). Recurrence 4+/year warrants work-up and weekly suppression.
