Fluconazole and its Uses
Generic Fluconazole is an azole antifungal used to treat or prevent certain fungal infections.

Generic Fluconazole is most commonly used to treat fungal infections of the mouth (thrush), esophagus (the tube that takes food from the throat to the stomach), lungs, urinary tract, and vagina (yeast infection).

Generic Fluconazole is also used for prevention of the recurrence of cryptococcal meningitis in people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and to decrease the risk of candidiasis infection in people undergoing bone marrow transplants who are treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Working Mechanism of Fluconazole
Generic Fluconazole works by preventing fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is a component of fungal cell membranes. The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. Without ergosterol as part of the cell membrane, the membrane is weakened and damaged, and essential constituents of the fungal cells can leak out. This kills the fungi.

• There have been a handful of reports of pregnancies in women taking fluconazole together with the oral contraceptive pill.

• The anti-blood-clotting effect of anticoagulants such as nicoumalone and warfarin may be enhanced by Generic fluconazole. As this may increase the risk of bleeding, people taking fluconazole with an anticoagulant should have their bleeding time monitored.
