Dr. Wang Shengqiang
Fluconazole tablets are primarily used to combat fungal infections. They can inhibit the growth of fungi such as *Cryptococcus* and *Candida*, as well as other fungal pathogens. If you suffer from conditions including vulvovaginal candidiasis, oral candidiasis, or tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) and onychomycosis (fungal nail infection), fluconazole tablets may be prescribed for treatment—strictly following your physician’s instructions.
