Fluconazole fends off fungal infection

Fluconazole is the number 1 drug to treat yeast infections without the mess and inconvenience of a cream

Fluconazole is like an antibiotic but it is used to treat fungal infections. Unlike most treatments of this sort, it is not a cream – just a easy-to-take pill.

Fluconazole can be used to treat yeast infections of the mouth, throat and oesophagus; vaginal yeast infections; fungal urinary tract infections; pneumonia caused by yeast; and fungal infections throughout the whole body and in the blood. Fluconazole is also used to prevent fungal infections from occurring in people with suppressed immune systems such as cancer chemotherapy patients, organ transplant patients, and AIDS patients.

Fluconazole is available under the trade names of Diflucan and Loitin. It can be used for yeast infections in a single dose of 150mg, or for more persistent infections at a dose of 50mg once or twice daily for up to 14-days.
