Diflucan is a prescription drug used to treat certain types of fungal infections. Diflucan is an antifungal medication that works by preventing fungi from growing in the body. Diflucan belongs to a group of medications called antifungals. It works by killing or preventing the growth of fungus.
Diflucan belongs to a class of medications known as antifungals. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, which causes the formation of a thickening of the vaginal mucosa. This buildup allows the fungus to thrive in a weakened state and ultimately leads to infections such as vaginal yeast infections. Diflucan can also be used to treat fungal infections in the vagina and other tissues.
Diflucan is not for use by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant during their treatment. Diflucan should be taken only as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is not known whether diflucan is safe for use by women who are pregnant. It is not recommended to use diflucan during pregnancy.
