How does oral antifungals like diflucan (fluconazole) and probiotics get to your vagina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Through the gut : The probiotics traverse the GI tract and change the bacteria living there, as well as in the vagina. The dilucan is absorbed via the intestine. Then it is secreted in the vaginal mucosa.
