Description
Fluconazole is a well-established antifungal medication used to treat yeast infections, particularly those affecting the genital area such as vaginal thrush or balanitis, under medical guidance. It belongs to the triazole class of antifungals and works by stopping the growth of Candida, the fungus most commonly responsible for genital yeast infections.
Yeast infections can cause symptoms like itching, burning, irritation, and abnormal discharge in women, or redness, swelling, and discomfort in men. Fluconazole treats the infection from the inside out, reaching the site of infection through the bloodstream and which may relieve symptoms with a single oral dose in some cases.
Its mechanism of action involves blocking the production of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Without it, the structure of the fungal cells becomes compromised, leading to fungal cell damage and helping resolve the infection.
Fluconazole may be preferred by individuals who cannot or do not wish to use topical treatmentsts or for those dealing with recurrent or difficult-to-reach infections. It’s often taken as a single 150 mg capsule, though more severe or persistent infections may require longer or repeated treatment.
Symptom improvement may begin within 24 to 48 hours, although complete relief can take a few days. The medication is generally well tolerated. Side effects are usually mild and may include nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, or rash. Rarely, it can affect liver function, particularly in people with existing liver conditions.
