What Is Diflucan?

Diflucan is a brand of antifungal manufactured by Pfizer, an American pharmaceutical company. It contains the active ingredient fluconazole, which is prescribed to treat and prevent fungal infections, such as:

  • Athlete's foot (tinea pedis)
  • Ringworm (tinea corporis)
  • Jock itch (tinea cruris)

Diflucan 150mg capsules can be bought with confidence from Prescription Doctor. Our online doctors are on hand to answer any questions you may have, and our UK registered pharmacy ensures you only get high quality, licensed medicine from reputable vendors.

If your order is processed before 3pm, Monday to Friday, your item will be dispatched the same day, aimed for a next-day delivery.


How Does Diflucan Work?

Fluconazole, the active ingredient in Diflucan, stops fungal growth by interfering with the ability of yeasts and fungi to produce ergosterol.

Ergosterol makes up the cell membrane of the yeasts and fungi, without which, the membrane becomes vulnerable, and holes appear in the membrane.

The cells within leak out through the holes, die, and cannot grow. By killing off and inhibiting the growth of the cells, Diflucan effectively prevents and clears up any fungal infections.

You can find out more about how long fungal skin infections last on our blog.

Diflucan is quite fast-acting, and you should experience relief for your symptoms within a day of taking the medicine.

Use Diflucan as prescribed for complete symptom relief and a full recovery. Diflucan is also very effective in preventing the recurrence of fungal infections.


How To Take Diflucan

Always take Diflucan as prescribed by your doctor.

Swallow Diflucan capsules whole with a glass of water.

Diflucan capsules can be taken with or without food.

For the oral suspension, ensure that you shake well before use.

The recommended dosage for Diflucan may vary depending on the type of infection.

For fungal skin infections, the usual dose is 150mg a week for 2 to 4 weeks.
