Effectiveness

How Fluconazole Affects PatientsFluconazole is a medication used to treat fungal infections caused by Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, and Cryptococcus neoformans. It works by blocking the growth and spread of fungi by interfering with cell wall synthesis and cell adhesion. However, some strains of these fungi have become resistant to fluconazole, which is why it is important to do susceptibility tests before taking the medication. While there have been concerns that fluconazole may affect human hormones, studies have not found any significant effects when taking up to 400 mg
How Fluconazole works in the bodyFluconazole is a drug that interferes with the growth of fungi. It does this by blocking an enzyme that helps create an important part of the fungal cell wall. When this enzyme is blocked, the fungi can't build the cell wall and so it can't grow. Some fungi have developed resistance to this drug, either by changing the amount of the enzyme or by changing the way it works.

Fluconazole for Candida Species Yeast Infection of Abdominal Cavity Lining
I don't love the taste, but it's not so bad that I can't get it down. Once you do, this treatment is very effective and doesn't require multiple doses or creams.

Fluconazole for Yeast Infection of Vagina and Vulva
I had some really unfortunate side effects after taking this medication- my heart was racing, I felt dizzy and nauseous, and my stomach was in so much pain. This was all after just the first dose of 150mg. I definitely won't be taking this again.

Fluconazole for Scattered Infection caused by Coccidioides Fungus
These pills have an incredibly unpleasant taste, to the point where I've gagged or even thrown up trying to take them. The only way I can get them down is by taking them with egg nog from October to February.

Fluconazole for Fungal Infection of the Skin with Yellow Patches
The only reason this medicine has such a high rating is because it's easy to take as a pill. I took 300mg for Tinea versicolor and have been incredibly sick since: dizzy, weak, with diarrhea and stomach pain for the last six days. I was supposed to take a second dose but there's no way I'm taking that pill again!
