What Experts Say

Fluconazole is a triazole antifungal. It blocks an enzyme fungi use to make ergosterol, a key part of their cell membrane. The effect is fungistatic in many cases, meaning it stops fungal growth rather than killing it instantly.

Without ergosterol the membrane becomes leaky and the fungus cannot grow. It works against Candida yeasts and some other fungi but not against bacteria. Repeat or frequent infections need medical review to find the cause, such as diabetes. Do not share leftover capsules with others.

It is well absorbed after swallowing and stays in the body for days, which is why one 150mg dose can treat vaginal thrush. It can affect the liver and interact with several medicines, so a doctor should confirm the diagnosis and check other drugs first. Treatment length depends on the site of infection and can range from one day to several weeks. Tell your doctor about liver disease and every medicine you take.
