Fluconazole is anti fungal that effectively treats many types of fungal infection, such as yeast infections. It is often used in the treatment of skin infections and in more serious fungal infections of internal organs, such as the lungs. It is frequently prescribed to pets who have shown intolerance to other anti-fungal medications. It is also an effective treatment for ringworm. Available in 50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg strengths of fluconazole tablets for pets.How it Works

Fluconazole's active ingredient works to kill infection-causing fungus. It interferes with the fungus' cell membranes, inhibiting fungal growth and reproduction, eventually eradicating the infection.

Tips

It could take a week or two before you begin to visibly see improvement in your pet. Your pet could require several months of treatment. Do not discontinue use before the prescribed treatment regimen is complete, unless otherwise directed by your veterinarian. You might notice visible improvement in your pet's fungal infection prior to the end of treatment, but completion of the full treatment is required to avoid resistance to fluconazole and other antifungals in the future, and to prevent against a relapse.
