Function and Efficacy

Fluconazole is a new triazole antifungal drug with a broad-spectrum antifungal effect and can selectively inhibit fungal sterol synthesis. Oral and intravenous injections are effective for fungal infections in humans and various animals, such as Candida infections (including systemic candidiasis in humans and animals with normal or impaired immunity), Cryptococcus neoformans infections (including intracranial infections), Malassezia sacchari, Microsporum, Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis (including intracranial infections), Histoplasma capsulatum, Peyer's Chromatiaceae, and Cladosporium carinii. Fluconazole is highly selective in its inhibitory effect on fungal cytochrome p-450-dependent enzymes. Studies have shown that fluconazole 50 mg once a day for 28 consecutive days has no effect on male plasma testosterone concentrations or plasma steroid concentrations in women of childbearing age; fluconazole 0.2-0.4 g once a day has no significant effect on endogenous steroid levels or adrenocorticotropic hormone effects in healthy male volunteers. Drug interaction studies have shown that single or multiple doses of fluconazole 50 mg have no effect on the metabolism of antipyrine.
