Fluconazole capsules are a strong anti-fungal medication ideal for treating vaginal or penile thrush. Thrush infection, also called candida, is caused by an overgrowth of fungus that thrives in warm, moist environments like the tongue or genitals. Thrush is not sexually transmitted, but it can be triggered by sex. Fluconazole is very effective such that a single dose clears the fungal infection. Fluconazole is fit for children and adults over the age of 16 years.

Description

What is Fluconazole?

Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal and yeast infections, including vaginal thrush, oral thrush, and systemic infections. It is part of the azole antifungal family and is suitable for adults and children.

How Does it Work?

Fluconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi by disrupting the production of the fungal cell membrane. This action stops the spread of infection, allowing the body to clear it. Its targeted approach makes it effective for various types of fungal infections, including Candida.

  • Avoid if you have a kidney condition.
