Fluconazole

Description

Fluconazole is a systemic antifungal medication belonging to the triazole class, commonly used for the treatment and prevention of various fungal infections. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the disruption of fungal cell integrity. Fluconazole is effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens, including Candida, Cryptococcus, and Dermatophytes, and is commonly prescribed for both superficial and systemic infections.
