Diflucan, containing fluconazole 200 mg, is a single-dose oral antifungal medication. It effectively treats yeast infections like vaginal candidiasis and oral thrush. This high-dose tablet provides a convenient treatment option, often requiring only one dose for certain infections.
How Diflucan 200mg Works
Fluconazole targets fungal cells by interfering with their cell membrane production. This action prevents fungal growth and leads to their eventual death, thereby resolving the infection. The 200mg dose ensures sufficient drug levels to combat the infection effectively.
