Pagerenewing of prescribing >renewing of use>medical informationWhat is Diflucan (fluconazole)?
Diflucan (fluconazole) is a prescription drug that is used to treat infections caused by certain bacteria. It works by blocking the production of the enzyme clotrimazole in the body.
This medicine is only available with a doctor’s prescription.
How does Diflucan work?
Diflucan belongs to the class of medications called “fluconazole”. It is a combination of two medications: 1) a nucleoside analog with a similar mechanism of action, which has been used to treat certain types of infections in the past, and 2) a chemical agent. It is available in several forms, including tablets, oral suspension, and orally disintegrating tablets. The recommended dose of Diflucan is 200 mg (or 1.25 mg) once daily.
