Description
Diflucan is an oral antifungal medication used to help treat vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida. It contains fluconazole, a systemic antifungal agent that targets the root cause by interfering with the fungal cell membrane. Unlike local treatments, it is taken as a single oral dose.
Candida infections, commonly known as thrush, can cause itching, irritation, swelling, and abnormal discharge due to a disruption of the natural vaginal microbiota. Diflucan works by blocking the formation of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell wall, leading to fungal cell death and resolution of the infection.
Because it is taken orally, Diflucan works systemically and can be particularly useful for individuals who prefer a one-time treatment or cannot use vaginal products. Many people may experience symptom relief within 24 to 48 hours, although several days may be needed for full resolution.
Side effects are usually mild and may include nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhea. It should be used with caution in individuals with liver conditions or those taking medications that interact with fluconazole, especially those that affect heart rhythm or liver enzymes.
Diflucan is often used for single episodes of thrush but may also be prescribed as part of a longer-term planfor recurrent infections. It is not recommended during early pregnancy without medical advice; a single 150 mg dose appears to pose low risks, but repeated or high doses carry potential harm.
General Information
Diflucan is an oral antifungal medication containing fluconazole, used to treat vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida.
It helps relieve symptoms like itching, irritation, discharge, and may help prevent or treat recurring infections.
It inhibits the production of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane, effectively killing Candida from within.

Diflucan is typically taken as a one-time dose. If a multiple-dose course is prescribed, follow your doctor’s instructions, do not double up.
