A member asked:

How successful is diflucan (fluconazole) in treating a candida infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very: Most common candida infections are easily treated by Fluconazole (diflucan). Some candida is of a species called glabrata and requires a different drug treatment but that is much less common.
