About Fluconazole
Fluconazole is the most widely prescribed antifungal drug in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa. It belongs to the triazole class of antifungals and works by inhibiting a fungal enzyme called lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, which is essential for the production of ergosterol — a key component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes unstable and leaky, ultimately killing the fungus. Importantly, fluconazole is highly selective for the fungal enzyme and has minimal effect on the equivalent human enzyme, which is why it is generally well tolerated at standard doses.
