Fluconazole is a triazole antifungal medication used to treat a variety of systemic and superficial fungal infections. It functions by inhibiting the fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme 14α-demethylase, disrupting the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This action renders it effective against infections such as candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and coccidioidomycosis.
