Primary Medical Uses
According to clinical resources like the Mayo Clinic, Fluconazole 150 mg is commonly prescribed for:
- Vaginal Thrush: Treats vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida. It is often taken as a single, one-time oral dose for this condition.
- Mouth and Throat Infections: Manages oral thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis) and esophageal candidiasis.
- Skin and Nail Infections: Targets fungal overgrowth on the body, fingernails, and toenails.
- Systemic and Other Infections: Used under strict medical supervision for internal fungal infections, including urinary tract infections or cryptococcal meningitis
-
How It WorksFluconazole targets the fungal cell wall. It interferes with the formation of the fungal cell membrane, causing it to become leaky and ultimately destroying the fungus.
