What Experts Say

Fluconazole blocks an enzyme fungi need to build their cell membrane, which stops the fungus from growing and spreading.

A single 150mg dose clears most vaginal yeast infections, while skin and nail infections usually need a longer course as directed by a doctor.

Fluconazole can affect the liver and interact with several common medicines, so any unexplained fatigue or new medicine should be discussed with a doctor.
