Description:

Diflucan 150mg by Healing Pharma contains Fluconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal medication used to treat and prevent fungal infections in the body. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi by blocking their cell membrane formation. This medication is commonly prescribed for treating vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush, ringworm, and systemic fungal infections.

Uses:

• Vaginal Candidiasis (Yeast Infection) – Single-dose treatment for fungal infections.
• Oral Thrush & Esophageal Candidiasis – Treats fungal infections in the mouth and throat.
• Systemic Fungal Infections – Used for severe infections affecting internal organs.
• Cryptococcal Meningitis – Helps manage fungal infections in the brain and spinal cord.
• Ringworm & Athlete’s Foot – Effective against dermatophytic infections.

How It Works:

Fluconazole works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, preventing the formation of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts fungal growth and eliminates the infection.
