Hi,fluconazole does not cure fungus
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antifungal: Fluconazole is an oral antifungal which works very well on infections inside the body- oral, vaginal, esophagus, bloodstream. It is less effective at treating fungal infections of the skin/nails. Depending on what you have been using it for, there may be other medications that work better.
