Fluconazole is commonly prescribed for candidiasis (Candida infections), including oral thrush, gastrointestinal yeast overgrowth, esophageal candidiasis, vaginal candidiasis, and other susceptible fungal infections. It may also be used in selected patients for prevention of fungal infections when clinically appropriate.

Its favorable absorption profile, convenient oral dosing, and broad antifungal activity have made fluconazole one of the most frequently prescribed antifungal medications worldwide.

Treatment decisions, dosage schedules, and duration of therapy should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
