Fluconazole

Fluconazole is a powerful antifungal prescription medication used to treat various yeast and fungal infections, like vaginal thrush, oral thrush, and more serious systemic infections, by stopping fungal growth. It works by inhibiting fungal cell membrane production, available as oral tablets or suspension, and is also used for prevention in immunocompromised patients, but requires careful use, especially in pregnancy, due to potential side effects like headache, nausea, and liver issues.
