What Experts Say

Fluconazole blocks an enzyme fungi need to build their cell wall, which slows fungal growth and helps the body clear the infection. It works against Candida yeasts that cause thrush. Simple thrush often improves within a few days.

For a simple vaginal yeast infection, a single capsule is commonly used. Symptoms may take a few days to settle, and the doctor should be told if they come back more than a few times a year. Wearing loose cotton clothing and keeping the area dry can help prevent recurrence.

Fluconazole can interact with many medicines and can affect the liver. Women who are or could be pregnant should ask the doctor first, particularly when repeated or long courses are considered. A partner may need treatment only if the doctor advises it. Symptoms like itching, burning and thick white discharge usually ease first. If there is no improvement after a week, or if symptoms return, a doctor's check helps rule out other causes. Sexual partners are not routinely treated.
