A member asked:
Is fluconazole an effective treatment for diverticulitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not: By itself. Fluconozole is used as a treatment for a yeast (candida) infection. Diverticulitis treatment needs proper broad spectrum coverage for intestinal bacteria (gram negatives & anaerobes).
