Pharmacological Effects

Fluconazole exerts its antifungal effects by selectively inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol in fungal cells, disrupting membrane integrity and leading to cell death. This mechanism of action makes fluconazole highly effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens while being well-tolerated by most patients.

Clinical trials have shown fluconazole to be as effective as other antifungal agents in the treatment of various fungal infections, with the added benefit of convenient once-daily dosing. Compared to similar drugs, fluconazole has a favorable safety profile and is often preferred for its broad spectrum of activity and low incidence of drug interactions.
