Flucanazole

Were you looking for information about Fluconazole? Flucanzole is a common misspelling of fluconazole.

Fluconazole (Diflucan^®) is an antifungal medicine often prescribed for the treatment of fungal infections, such as vaginal yeast infections or thrush. It can also be used to prevent this type of infection in people who are undergoing bone marrow transplants. Unlike other yeast infection medications, fluconazole is not used vaginally; instead, it is either administered by injection or taken orally. This drug works to stop fungal growth by inhibiting the production of ergosterol, an important component of the fungal cell membrane.
