Diflucan is an antifungal antibiotic drug, used to treat infections caused by fungus found in different parts such as esophagus, bladder, genital area, throat, mouth, lungs or in the blood.
Diflucan is used to prevent fungal infection in people with weak immune systems caused by cancer treatment or bone marrow transplant. Diflucan is a drug taken by mouth, a fact which makes it different from other treatments for vaginal yeast infections.
Much like any other generic drug, generic Diflucan (Fluconazole) is biologically equal to the brand Diflucan and it is simply manufactured and sold at lower price. Generic Diflucan is actually equivalent to brand Diflucan in its efficiency, strength, dosage, ingredients, safety and intended use.
