Fluconazole is similar to an antibiotic but it treats fungal infections rather than pathogens. It can be used as an intravenous drug to treat systemic fungal infections, or as a cream for example to treat topical localised fungal infections. A common example of a fungal infection is thrush (candidiasis) which can effect mucous membranes in areas such as the mouth or vagina. Athletes foot (tinea pedis) is another example of a fungal infection. Some fungal infections can be very serious causing septicaemia, but mostly they are localised and uncomfortable, but easily treated.
