A member asked:

I was wondering are flagyl and diflucan (fluconazole) antibiotics?

Yes and no: Flagyl is an antibiotic that treats anaerobic bacteria and some parasites. Diflucan (fluconazole) is an antifungal agent. Technically that still makes it an 'antibiotic, ' though we usually use that term only for antibacterials.
