Glossary Fluconazole

antifungal medication treating various fungal infections

Fluconazole, commonly known by the brand name Diflucan, is an antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including those affecting the mouth, throat, esophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi by interfering with the formation of their cell membranes, making it effective against conditions like candidiasis and cryptococcal meningitis.
