These infections can affect various parts of the body, including the mouth, throat, esophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood. Diflucan is also used to treat fungal meningitis and to prevent fungal infections in people with weakened immune systems due to cancer treatment, bone marrow transplant, or diseases like AIDS.

For example, a common dose for vaginal yeast infections is a single 150 mg capsule. For other infections, the dosage might range from 50 mg to 400 mg per day, and the treatment duration can vary from a few days to several weeks.
